Bicknell gone

Jack Bicknell Jr. is leaving BC. Reportedly he will work for old friend Tom Coughlin. I am happy that he found a soft landing and sad to see him go. Like his namesake, Bick was liked and respected by all. Blaudschun, who has been pro-BC, pro-Spaz throughout this entire affair posted what has been floating around in the gossip and on the message boards:

DeFilippo sweetened the pot by offering an "assistant head coach title'' with the job and a boost in pay as well as an understanding that somewhere down the road was a strong potential to be the head coach at the Heights.

Another unfortunate aspect of all this is that Bick, Logan and Spaz were all under that impression that they were next in line. Hopefully Bicknell will be back one day under better circumstances. It was nice to see his dad around the program again. Loyalty and love of BC has been tossed around a lot lately. I don't think there is a family that has put more love and sweat into BC football than the Bicknells.

Spaz hopefully has a strong candidate lined up to replace Bicknell. A good offensive line coach can make a world of difference.
