ACC Preview #10 - Boston College

In his most recent chart Barry Jacobs points out that in a 15-league ACC, as always high on competitive juices, getting out of the cellar is really, really hard.

That’s certainly been true for Boston College.

Since firing Al Skinner, the Eagles have been cellar dwellers. If not, they were on the steps and not near the door either. They’ve been bad.

We thought Steve Donahue would be able to get things going but he never did. And in a lot of ways Jim Christian seems the ideal coach for that program. He’s got roots in town, he’s an overall winner as a coach and he has a knack for finding under appreciated talent.
