Character guys from Southie? Read the article ATL shared -- Jaramond didn't get the job because he did keg stands with townies from Columbus and chanted "O-H-I-O" in the parking lot at the Horseshoe. Sure, it bothered me to read he would tell people what they wanted to hear about his daughter's name. For all we know he's planning to name is next kid Margo. Unfortunately this is the game of big time athletics today. And in case you've missed it, the politics at BC are just about as bad as DC. We just fired someone who didn't get that, remember?<br /><br />I can understand that you want to maintain the "character" of the old days. I liked that too. But then we should leave the ACC, drop back down to the Patriot League and re-new the REAL holy war -- the rivalry with Holy Cross. Maybe play a home and home with Colgate. Get ready for some exciting nail biters against UMASS. Let's bring back the Golden Girl while we are at it (they all seemed to come from Columbus anyway, maybe Jaramond has an inside scoop on recruiting them). When Jaramond leaves, name Doug Flutie AD, restart Blue Chips and play "Glory Days" on the loudspeaker before every game. <br /><br />Sure, it will be fun again. But let's see if we can get talented up and comers like the Ryan Day's of the world to come coach here then.....better yet, let's see how many corporate douchebags will write large tuition checks to send their kids here....<br /><br />bceagle93https://www.blogger.com/profile/12409788303341640915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-50670887772115638762017-08-31T23:00:27.590-04:002017-08-31T23:00:27.590-04:00I'm hoping our receivers really step it up thi...I'm hoping our receivers really step it up this year.<br /><br />By receivers I mean all - WRs, TEs and RBs out if the backfield!<br /><br />Go BC - learn from this OSU / Indiana game.

Does anyone care ??? BC is totally irrelevant in this area. And by the way , they should beat NIU with no problems , but what does that prove ??? You beat an average (AT BEST ) MAC team. I just hope that next year , I am not reading about ADDAZIO still at the Heights talking about the rebuilding progress being made !!!!!

Jarmond is not going to get a fair story out of Meyer about Dazzler. Jarmond needs to figure Dazzler out on his own but Leahy controls how and when Dazzler gets canned. Dazzler represents the Jesuit/Catholic aspect of BC as a HC more than anyone in the last 30 years. That is literally worth 1 win a season to Leahy. Which I respect. <br /><br />My concern is that Jarmond is too corporate. Too much bceagle 93. The school has "some" character/balance left . . . more than 95% of the other Power 5 schools. I don't want to lose it because some corporate douche using the school as a stepping stone wants to have bullet points on his resume about increasing revenue, restructuring departments and changing cultures.

You'd be crazy not to do this, because this is the time when you learn the most. You don't pass judgement until you have time to reach your own conclusions and you don't let any one person or piece of input sway your thought process, because people usually have some sort of bias in their assessments (good, bad, indifferent). My guess is that Jaramond has a vision he painted for the program, so he has an idea of what he needs to see in order to fulfill that.<br /><br />That all said, Jaramond absolutely did his homework on Daz, and likely got some input from Urban and other coaches that know him (if he really didn't, then we have a bigger problem on our hands). There is little benefit for him to say he did so to the press because it doesn't matter. Urban's opinion is just a data point. He doesn't work at BC, he doesn't recruit the kids we recruit, and he doesn't have the fan base and expectations that BC has. Jaramond has to take the data points he observes and combine them with what he hears (while filtering out bias) to make his own judgement on Daz.<br /><br />Because Jaramond can probably make a quicker decision on the basketball coach (given his own hoops background) and the financial considerations, Christian is dead man walking barring some sort of breakout season. Daz is here until 2019 -- unless there is major reason to conclude otherwise before then. <br />bceagle93https://www.blogger.com/profile/12409788303341640915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57713472121478996422017-08-31T12:47:01.132-04:002017-08-31T12:47:01.132-04:00We'll be in good shape if we can block and don...We'll be in good shape if we can block and don't routinely give good field position to NIU. <br />Knoll has to be able to pin their ears back.
