Most of these names we have already seen linked to the Boston College job, with the exception of Butch Jones (Editorial note: No thank you). Washington has been the name mentioned the most by many, including former Boston College player Steve DeOssie who also broke the news of Addazio's firing, and Mark Blaudschun a former Globe writer.
Pete Carmichael, who we will preview shortly is a very interesting option as well as he is a coach on a very exciting Saints team, with Boston College connections. If he could install his brand of offense here in Chestnut Hill he could really be a game changer.
Brett Bielema is another new name that I havent' seen connected to Boston College, he is a long shot, but I'm not sure he is the type of coach that would "get" the unique challenges of Boston College. However he has a track record of taking mediocre programs and taking them to the next level.
