Blow It Up: It’s Time to Move on From Jim Christian

In the great Jim Christian Hot Seat Debate of 2019, I have been decidedly on the don’t-blow-it-up side of the discussion. I have felt that those calling for Christian’s head since last season were shortsighted and that there would be no quick fix with a new coach. The loss from a recruiting standpoint tends to decimate teams for at least two seasons, throwing BC down to the bottom rung of ACC play for the type of slow, clawing rebuild that drives fans away. Also, what hotshot hire do fans think is coming through that door? This is the kind of tough rebuild job that attracts up-and-comers, not established successes, and there is just no guarantee that Jarmond will hit on the right untested candidate.
