Despite the fact that he’s never spent time as a coordinator, let alone a head coach, odds-makers have tabbed Al Washington as the favorite to fill the Boston College head coaching vacancy.
Washington is currently the linebackers coach of the #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, where his father played college ball (it is also the former employer of AD Martin Jarmond). BC fans are very familiar with both Washington, who played defensive tackle for the Eagles from 2002-2005, and OSU coach Ryan Day, who seems to rejoin the BC staff every three years or so (unfortunately those dalliances may be over).
