To The Boston College Community:
After every season we evaluate all aspects of our programs to make sure they are aligned with the core mission and principles of the Boston College athletics department.
While all of us wish our regular season in football had ended with more victories, we took important steps in the right direction this year: returning to the national rankings for the first time since 2008, capturing the nation's attention with ESPN's College GameDay on-campus, being in the running for the conference championship in November and playing in another post-season bowl.
In addition, our football student-athletes remain great ambassadors for our University and also continue to achieve tremendous success in the classroom, graduate at one of the highest rates in the country, and become successful leaders.
To continue building on our football program's progress and promise, we are extending Coach Steve Addazio's contract for two additional years through the 2022 season. Steve and I are committed to taking the next steps to enhance competitive excellence in Boston College football.
We look forward to your continued support of our program.
We Are BC!

Thornton Melon {l Wrote}:This is a paper extension. Fairly certain the admin wouldn't let them eat 5+ million to fire Daz, so he will be coaching 19. Buyout on this is minimal as I understand it and he's coaching for his job in 2019.

I certainly hope you are right.

No way he gets an extension though right?
Eaglekeeper {l Wrote}:This is a real extension just like every BC extension. Daz is their guy, winning seasons and minor bowls and no off field problems are the goals. Mouse never stated that winning the ACC is the goal, it’s not. I’m hearing that the extension came with a raise to 3 million per year. Again, this is not surprising given how college athletics operates. Anyone holding onto fantasies of some cheap buyout is doing a sales job on themselves.
Stick to hockey BC
Go Eagles!
