ATLeagle {l Wrote}:Jarmond is young and a College Sports insider. If you think he is going to blow it all up or rock the boat, you are fooling yourself. He's here to raise money and look good so that the next time Ohio State or some other mega school has an opening, they hire him. Would you really expect him to say "Addazio is an idiot and I am going to fire him the first chance I get"? In private conversations with the larger donors, he has implied raised expectations for JC and Addazio, but in a big meeting like this, he can't shoot his mouth off.

claver2010 {l Wrote}:good time, make no mistake he's a fundraiser through and through. he also understands he needs to be, especially w leahyhoo etc

talked about enhancements that have happened first 7 months he's been here (indoor facility, brighton fields, beer, fueling station, academic support for athletes, working to reconnect w former athletes)

gave general sotu on sports focusing on the revenue ones. said something along the lines of 'you're either selling hope or wins and we understand w 2 of 3 revenue sports it's hope right now' (mocked the 'trust the process' line).
basketball: great home record, need to get it going on road. 4 wins in conf which is more than previous 2 years. mentioned the recruiting class coming in and jairus by name which surprised me and went on depth of his accolades.
football: good momentum at the back end of the year, just wrapped up recruiting, recruiting needs to be life blood of any program but esp fb
hockey: first place in HE but very young team (no seniors) hope they can make a run into march and L/T have the team augmented by another exciting class

1q was about why jimmy mac didn't recruit some point guard from iona prep who is playing for uva? maybe the h00ps w31rd0z can chime in on the circumstances. jarmond pivoted to 'because someone is verbally committed to another place doens't mean we stop recruiting them.

2q was about lax, thought jarmond handled it well. said honestly it's not happening. spelled out financials of title 9. i need to focus on getting marquee programs to the level of excellence that school is on the academic side

someone brought up fb recruiting (specifically this class' ranking). admitted we'll never be top 10 but recruiting needs to be lifeblood.

students: need to get them back to wearing superfan shirts. working to get logo removed cause apparently undergrads aren't wearing in fear of getting caught drinking (not sure how much i believe that but whatever works). free food, rewards for various on field/court performance (team scores X you get free tacos)

quesiton about boston fans. said sure we'll work with non bc fans in boston but we really need to work on getting bc people back to alumni / conte and that's my primary focus

might've missed some things but if any questions i'll chime in. good event.

It was most obvious in his coaching hires, all of whom displayed clear love and passion for student-athletes. The public hires of coaches like Joanna Bernabei-McNamee and Jason Kennedy stood out for immediate success, and hiring Jason Lowe pivoted women's soccer into a new era. His last hire brought Jeff Hafley to the football program, and the tantalizing sight of Martin Jarmond and his new coach at the press conference left star-laden images in the dreams of every Boston College fan.

JesuitIvy {l Wrote}:I know this is a stupid question, but I want to ask it anyway. Did folks inside BC really feel Jarmond was "an energetic trailblazer" who "helped surge" BC back into "the elite conversation in the ACC" and "zinged" the national media with access and combined "into perfect alignment" academics and athletic success? OK, set aside the embarssingly over the top gushing from BC over someone who left for another job - did insiders really think he was excellent?

You can tell BC must be winning again because teddy is acting like a total baby maker again. I’m totally here for it.

Does this mean Thursday night drunken rants are back in play? We are so fucking back

durkcal {l Wrote}:Marty did not learn anything from his past. Hiring DeShaun Foster. He's still hiring the young guy that players get excited to play for (both of his hires at BC are now gone). While Alumni are left seething because the teams do not win. Let's see how this plays out. In some ways his commitment to hiring inexperienced coaches with "energy and juice" has to be respected.
