Looks like Boston College is avoiding the spring rush to the coaching carousel and is booking an early seat: the school fired Jim Christian Monday after a 3-13 start in this most unusual season, and also opening a spot for a coveted ACC job.
Christian departs with a 3-13 record this season and a career record there of 78-132 and a winning percentage (okay losing percentage) of .371.
On the bright side, he has shown a knack for finding underappreciated talent and his teams have shown heart even as they struggled. But injuries and a perception of poor facilities and the brutally competitive ACC made it impossible to improve the program much.
