How dare you speak of Frank Leahy that way!

Golden has said he's been assured Miami is not self-imposing any other penalties, including a reduction in scholarships.

4. Greg Roman, 49ers assistant: Jim Harbaugh's right-hand man has worked wonders with the 49ers offense, and he helped crank up the toughness when he was with Harbaugh at Stanford. I'm told the New Jersey native is a strong candidate at Boston College, as well as back in the Bay Area at California. Two years ago, Roman almost landed the Vanderbilt job. He might even get a shot back in the Volunteer state at UT.
8. Tim DeRuyter, Fresno State: There's two Air Force guys getting discussed for a few vacancies: DeRuyter, the former Air Force player, and Troy Calhoun, Air Force's coach. The hunch here is DeRuyter will emerge as the more viable option, whether it's at Cal, Colorado, Purdue or even Boston College; not Calhoun, who has turned down several good jobs in previous years. In his debut season in Fresno State, DeRuyter led the Bulldogs to their first conference title in 13 seasons while helping turn a dreadful defense into a formidable one.
9. Pat Narduzzi, Michigan State: Smart isn't the only DC whose stock is soaring. Narduzzi, a former Rhode Island linebacker who consistently cranks out elite defenses (Michigan State is No. 4 in the nation in D despite its 6-6 record), is one of three other defensive assistants generating buzz this month. The others: Stanford's Derek Mason and Notre Dame's Bobby Diaco. Of these three, Narduzzi, also an ace recruiter, seems like he would have the best shot to land the Boston College job.
10. (tie) Mike MacIntyre, San Jose State: In 2010, his first season at San Jose State, the Spartans went 1-12 as he began overhauling the program. This year, they went 10-2. MacIntyre, the guy who found Patrick Willis for Ole Miss, has SEC roots, but he has got the skills where he could be a good fit anywhere from BC to Arkansas to Cal.
Just missed the cut: Recently fired Cal head coach Jeff Tedford; Dave Doeren, Northern Illinois; Gus Malzahn, Arkansas State; Pep Hamilton, Stanford OC; Bobby Diaco, Notre Dame DC; Derek Mason, Stanford DC; Brent Pease, Florida OC; Darrell Hazell, Kent State; Justin Wilcox, Washington DC; Bob Stitt, Colorado School of Mines; Mark Hudspeth, UL-Lafayette; Hue Jackson, Bengals assistant.

Boston College Eagles
How good is the job?
Expectations are fairly modest, but Frank Spaziani always appeared to be in over his head. Tom O'Brien (seven winning seasons in 10 years) and Jeff Jagodzinski (two in two) found ways to recruit and win in Chestnut Hill, but it's been a decline ever since. BC, like Wake Forest and Duke in the ACC, has to deal with a heightened academic standard. It's a tough job because of that, but it's possible to break through to be a division contender.
What are they looking for?
Regularly going to bowls is enough to maintain satisfaction. The Eagles went to 12 in a row from 1999 to 2010. It isn't an impossible bar to hurdle, even while minding academia.
Candidates
Bob Diaco, Notre Dame defensive coordinator: The Irish's defense has been one of the best stories in college football, and Diaco's name has been linked to this job for several weeks. Notre Dame's suffocating defense has allowed just eight touchdowns in 33 red zone trips by opponents this season. BC would be a nice place for Diaco to begin his head-coaching career. His previous coaching stops as an assistant, Cincinnati and Virginia, are similar-tiered programs.
Darrell Hazell, Kent State Golden Flashes head coach: Hazell coached previously at Army and Rutgers, so he understands some of the Northeast dynamic. He turned around the Golden Flashes from a 5-7 first season to 11-1 -- and on the verge of an improbable BCS berth -- in his second year.
Tom O'Brien, former NC State and Boston College head coach: They wouldn't take him back, would they? Wait, why wouldn't they? He was 75-45 at BC and also had a winning record at NC State (40-35) despite his firing Sunday.
Greg Roman, San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator: This was the first job I heard in connection with Roman, though others -- more appealing and lucrative jobs -- have opened in the time since.
Don Treadwell, Miami (Ohio) head coach: Treadwell's pair of 4-8 seasons at Miami is nothing special, but there are two reasons to believe he'll at least get a look: (1) He was the co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach at BC in 1997 and '98 under O'Brien, and (2) new Boston College AD Brad Bates came from Miami (Ohio). I've written several times that Bates' connection to the MAC might lead to his giving some coaches from the league, Treadwell included, a glance.
