Is The Boston College Football Staff Attrition Over?

PrintThe Newark (NJ) Star Ledger's Tom Luicci has confirmed the report from Friday that Boston College running backs coach Ben Sirmans will accept the same position on Kyle Flood's staff at Rutgers.
"Ben Sirmans, an East Orange native who coached running backs at Boston College, will take on the same role at Rutgers, according to someone familiar with the situation, while Bethune-Cookman offensive coordinator Ron Spence told the Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal that he is moving to Piscataway to coach the Scarlet Knights quarterbacks.
The person requested anonymity on Sirmans because Flood is waiting until next week to announce his staff."
Sirmans move is likely tied to his local-area ties and relationship with Brock, who will serve as OC and WR coach at Rutgers. Sirmans was regarded as one of BC's better recruiters so the loss will likely hurt BC's recruiting efforts, particularly in Cincinnati and the Midwest, owing to his time spent at Michigan State and Kent State.
While Ryan Day's move to Temple hasn't been announced, EagleAction has confirmed coachingsearch.com's earlier report that Day will become the offensive coordinator at Temple.
"EagleAction has confirmed with a source that the rumor of BC wide receivers coach Ryan Day going to Temple is true. Although not official yet, Day is expected to be named the offensive coordinator at Temple sometime within the next couple of days. Day was brought aboard by Steve Addazio, who Day worked with when he was a offensive graduate assistant at the University of Florida under Urban Meyer."
With both Brock and Sirmans leaving for Piscataway, and Day reportedly off to Philadelphia, the question on my mind is this: will any other BC assistants jump ship?
At Rutgers, Flood still needs to hire a tight ends coach and a defensive line or secondary coach, depending on whether Schiano's DL coach Phil Galiano continues to coach the line or moves to coaching the secondary.
Earlier this year, Pittsburgh's first year coach Paul Chryst and former Wisconsin OC successfully poached Bob Bostad (UW OL coach), Dave Huxtable (UW LB coach) and Joe Rudolph (TE coach / recruiting coordinator) from Bret Bielema's staff. Apparently Chryst liked what they were doing in Madison.
Last year's results aside, BC has always done a good job recruiting New Jersey. Could Rutgers dip back into Spaz's staff and pick off another assistant? Anyone else planning on jumping ship?
With a week to go before spring practice begins, here is Spaziani's current coaching staff:
Doug Martin -- Offensive Coordinator, Quarterbacks
Sean Devine -- Tight Ends
Jim Bollman -- Offensive Line, Running Game Coordinator
Bill McGovern -- Defensive Coordinator, Linebackers
Jeff Comissiong -- Defensive Line
Mike Siravo -- Defensive Backs, Recruiting Coordinator
Special teams, running backs and wide receiver coaching positions still to be filled.

Sources say Rutgers has been telling recruits it plans on being in the Big Ten sooner than later.
So maybe Rutgers isn’t as undesirable a job as we all think …

Sure RU to B1G; L'Vlle to B12 and UConn to ACC with ND
Ha!
The rich fantasy life of college recruiters.

RU to B1G is even less likely than UConn to ACC. Both claims are just recruiter spin. Hope recruits are not buying into that.

Rutgers and Iowa State? One of these things is not like the other.

One Left To Go
before the Nuclear Enema
November 26, 2012.
I just can’t see Spazoo winning 8 let alone 7, if he wins 6 and one is Maine, I am sure if litle GDF Napoleon is still there and the miracle BC purge of him doesn’t happen, then the Twice Baked Potato Bowl spin by the Yawkey Yokels will be…
“BC is now back on track for continued bowl success and our next stop kids, …can you smell the oranges…. THE BCS Orange Bowl!!”
We Could Have
the complete roster of All-Americans on this team and they would probably not win more than 7 games with Spaz at the helm.
Kind of Hard to Win
with a coach who’s football learning curve (presuming there is one) peaked in 1968.
Jane - Class of 1974
Jane, forget these pathetic Merrymen lackey suck-up losers.
They would be happy with 7-5 and the Beat A Seal Pup Bowl in Anchorage and a big hello from Spazoo at some schlub donation event.
BC needs a real deal fire breathing ass kicking disciplinarian (unlike the fake loser TOB) or a Urban Meyer, Gary Patterson, Chris Peterson type.
Imagine the history, Spazoo, Tranquill, then the Rogers…the performance…
Even the Costa Cordordia has a few moments in the sun…now everyone sees BC is a diseased sewer.
It’s along way back to 2007 with recruiting and coaching and it starts in November.
Please ladies and gentlemen
Spaz and GDF are LOVING this. Just built in excuses right here. They couldn’t be happier.

Jeff Commissiong is gone to Rutgers too it seems. BC football is a joke now. They have to clean house.
Had heard this rumor earlier this week. Rutgers needs a DL coach, Comissiong coaches the DL …
Editor, BC Interruption
BC football has been a joke for a couple years now.
Thanks Spaz and GDF.
This mass exodus of coaches should help our cause cause now they both look like incompetent fools.

This is all paving the way for Gene’s son to land a coaching position at BC and eventually become head coach, lol.
If McGovern leaves I’d be devastated. In my opinion he’s hands down the best coach on the staff (I guess that’s not saying to much at this point but still).
1 in 5
Best coach out of this crew:
DC Bill McGovern
DB Mike Siravo
TE Sean Devine
OC Doug Martin
OL Jim Bollman
ST Dave Brock
WR Ryan Day
RB Ben Sirmans
DL Jeff Comissiong

McGovern
Please.
This unimaginative loser still employs the catatonic calzone cushion as has Spazoo and BC for 15 years BC still has not learned to practice, deploy and effectively use blitz packages since our front has never generated enough pressure in the new pass happy NCAA and BC pass defense is porous and good passing teasm salivate and drill BC in big games.
McGovern is FCS Holy Cross material.
BCEagle we clearly have very different opinions on this one. I can understand why you disagree with defensive philosophy, and obviously thats a huge part of his job, but man are you pessimistic.
How can you overlook McGoverns his ability to teach as a coach, in particular linebackers. I’m surprised you’re not the slightest bit impressed with the number of linebackers he’s brought through the program in recent years who have developed into NFL caliber players. I’ve got to give the guy credit here.
In my opinion, he’s the one part of true “BC Football” that we’re still holding on to — tough nosed tackling linebackers. We’ve been known as O-Line U in the past, but lately the media is starting to recognize the amount of backers we’re developing.
I’d really hope you’d be willing to reconsider you’re stance here. Just look at the backers he’s produced in recent years: Luke Kuechly, Robert Francois, JoLonn Dunbar, Mark Herzlich, Ricky Brown, even Tyrone Pruitt has a brief stint on a practice squad. Not to mention, the fact that our backers continue to be the strength of our defense. I’d like to think Pierre-Louis has NFL potential as well.
Clearly, I understand he is our DC and not just our linebackers coach, but all I’m saying is if we’re going to purge the entire staff like some people on here are suggesting, he’s the one guy I think BC faithful should want to hold on to.

Good point…but….. I mentioned BC as linebacker U with Romo, the Lion LB, Steve ? I forget and others….but….
Ever check our 15 year record of pass defense and sacks too?
Defense includes pass defense too and our LB’s over 10 years have been solid as you posted, and Herzy was SUPERMAN in 2008, especially in sideline to sideline pass defense, but our pass defense linebackers and DL line coaching for pass pressure has been little league at best.
BC was 8-0 in 2007 and Spazoo and McGovern were TORCHED by FSU and MD and never adjusted, blitzed or switched defenses in 2 staright weeks.
Enough is enough...
I always had the impression that Father Leahy was a relatively sensible guy, who understood the business of running a successful university. At what point do you think the bell goes off in his head, and he realizes enough is enough, we’re clearly not getting things done here, and the downward spiral of our athletic department is going to really start impacting the attractiveness of the university? I’d like to think this happens pretty soon. He’s been more than patient enough with GDF. The more he waits the longer its going to take us to dig ourselves out of this whole.
NYC --November 26, 2012 -- Last Chance Hotel for BC Football!
Now this is a huge bravo +++++++++ !!!
Enough is enough…IS RIGHT!

Leahy is a pathetic limp writed left wing radical clown who once held a meeting in his office to decide with our sissified extremist faculty and the rest of the militant twinkies what would be an appropriate protest when Condi Rice spoke at Commencement!
It was a time in US policy and history when something unique or high impact could have happened at BC, but Condi aware of the protest, gave some usual graduation pablum.
Leahy-Hoo should has said, "I am having the nasty tailgate BCPD and Staties inside alumni with lead filled batons and stun guns and no protest or inappropriate signage will be permitted and respect shown to a US Secretary of State!’
End of letters and story, and BC and Leahy wimped out.
This is why GDF rules and spins his malaise.
This is why we have this mumbling moron Spazoo and his embarrassing recruiting presser talking about Super Bowl rosters to the parents of recruits!
This is why our class was 63 out of 68BCS schools.
See and speed or flock of 4 and 5 star talent?
The Trustees and leahy are LOSERS!
Who invited BCEagle74 to post here?
Seriously, that is the last thing this site needs.

Optimism
is founded on facts. A “positive” outlook with no groudning in fact is delusional.
Guys,
Name calling is a no no. Let’s keep it civil please.
