BOSTON -- Boston College fired Jeff Jagodzinski on Wednesday, days after he was warned of dismissal if he interviewed for the coaching job with the New York Jets.
BC athletic director Gene DeFilippo told Jagodzinski on Saturday that his job would be in jeopardy if he went through with the Jets interview. Jagodzinski met with the Jets on Tuesday night.
A few hours later, at a Wednesday morning meeting, DeFilippo told Jagodzinski he was out.
"We're really good friends and this is a very difficult thing to do," DeFilippo said at a news conference. "We will find somebody who really wants to be at Boston College and will be here for the length of their contract."
Defensive coordinator Frank Spaziani likely will be named the interim head coach at some point, sources told ESPN's Wendi Nix. Spaziani has been a Boston College assistant for 12 years, the past 10 as defensive coordinator.
