Report: Dave Brock Leaving Boston College For Rutgers OC Position

PrintHeights Sports editor Greg Joyce is reporting that Boston College special teams coach Dave Brock is leaving the Boston College football program to become the offensive coordinator at Rutgers under first year coach Kyle Flood.
"Boston College football coach Dave Brock will be leaving to take the position of offensive coordinator at Rutgers University for the 2012 season. The move has been confirmed by a BC source, though no official announcement has been made yet by either BC or Rutgers."
The move is hardly surprising for Brock, who was tabbed as interim offensive coordinator after Kevin Rogers took a leave of absence after the UCF game. After serving as BC's OC for 10 games, he was more or less demoted to Special Teams coach following BC's hire of OC Doug Martin.
Brock has past offensive coordinator experience, having called the offense at Kansas State (2008), Temple (2002-04) and Hofstra (2000-02). So it only makes sense that he'd jump at the opportunity of going back to being a coordinator at a BCS AQ program.
I liked that Spaz was able to retain Brock and had moved him to Special Teams, as I thought he could breathe new life into a unit that has struggled, particularly in the return game. This feels like a loss especially when it comes to recruiting. Rutgers just hauled in a top 25 recruiting class this past season and Brock should help Flood continue that momentum on the recruiting trail.
Hopefully BC's replacement is a strong recruiter that fits well with the Eagles' recruiting strategy, whatever that strategy may be.

RU weakeness
This is an awfully weak hire for RU. The interim OC on one of the worst offenses in FBS!
This might serve as a reminded of how bad it is to be in the soon-to-lose-AQ-status BE.
Brock to be replaced by student?
Last year, after being promoted to iOC he was replaced as TE coach by a graduate assistant. I wonder who the lucky kid will be this year :~)
How is this a diss when in all likelihood it will come true?
Plus, there’s also the matter of the BC staff probably being a year away from a full house-cleaning, so it makes a lot of sense for Brock to get out while he still can.

it is disrespect BC
i do not want to get back into the loop with you and the other Nabobs, but this statement is not true and Spaz is likely to stay on. You might not like that, but GDF does. BC can have, and likely will have, a winning season next year. . . . .So it a ‘shot’ and ‘dis’ at BC by RU — which is particularly funny becuase RU is picking up BC’s discard and trying to act like it is a good thing. Jersey guys are hopeless. YO!
(BFAV laughs in disgust; 74 starts furiously typing a rebuttal of some length and mixed cohesiveness;
On The Banks statement above is no more grounded in fact than your assertion that BC is going to have a winning season next year and Spaz will be coach in 2013.
Editor, BC Interruption
let's wager
if Spaz is coach on January 1, 2013 i will submit an “I was WRONG this time” fan shot
if Spaz is not the coach on Janaury 1, 2013 YOU will submit an “I was WRONG ONCE AGAIN” fan shot
You are already taking over the blog with rmbc81 for a week when BC wins 7 or more games next season. Write whatever you want then.
Editor, BC Interruption
what record next year would be enough for you to think its time to pull the plug on spaz osprey? I’m only asking because you said that
BC can have, and likely will have, a winning season next yearso the expectation, even likelihood, is that we will be back to 7-5? How many below that would be grounds for deeming bringing back Spaz for 2012 a bad decision?
This is a serious non-hostile question.

These comments get attached to my real name. I don’t hide behind avatars like waterwater and eagleosprey. Read the above again. That does not call you hostile.
The Internet isn’t written in pencil.

i am not hiding
I am blogging with a avatar like 97% of the people.
Anyway, my post was meant to be a humous look at some of your ways. My apologies if I offended you, that was not my intent
EO/waterwater doesn’t actually give record predictions…asked for it numerous times and he balked.

I don't even want a prediction
Like he said, we should have a winning record, so that’s at least 7-5 and possibly better. All I want to know is what would be a bad enough record for him to admit that he has wasted his entire offseason with all of this ridiculous pessimistic/optimistic talk

really?
I reserve my prediction until later just like you and you call me a weasel. Funny.
I do not support Obama. 2012 will be Ross Perot’s year!

Yes in July I said I was going to wait until closer to kickoff. And then I eventually did give a prediction which was a good 4 games off (thank you Spazoo).
I’m not going to go back and find your lack of a prediction.
That's the spirit!

Not at all. Nice try.
You wouldn’t give a prediction. Said you would wait til closer to kickoff. I said fine, I’ll do the same (and probably should have altered my pick given we kicked our safties off the team).
I then gave a prediction staying true to my word and you never came through, just rattling off nonsense and preaching to others about how to be more optimistic.
hey
don’t let this eat you up inside. It going to drive you mad.
I did not realize you were so invested in my predictions. wow
So, if GDF remains in power and Father Leahy remains in power, Spaz would need to win less than 4 games to be in danger of being launched. and even then, it is less than a 50% chance of him getting fired. However, if Martin is a disaster, BC is getitng blown out and embarrassed, and Spaz is seen to be overseeing a clown show, then BC might be forced to ‘retire’ Spaz — but i do not see that happening. Like it or not, Spaz seems to have made a few decent moves this off season and he did attract some quality coaches and recruits (sure, not enough, but some good ones). Spaz also did not lose any players to transfer.
And yes, I think 7-5 is the most probable outcode, but I could see 8-4 too.
Here is a distribution curve:
Nope. Merely pointing out that praising Spaz for not having a transfer as of Feb. 7 is ridiculous.

Brock Loss is NO BIG DEAL
This was not a dynamic OC and then again, if he was, how could you succeed with Knuckles holding you down and the slow clydesdale talent we have??
Is Ryan "Empty Laminated Resume" Still On The Payroll?
Is he still some sort of WR coach or something?
Is he 7th in the line of succession after Tranquill, Rogers, Brock, Martin and the next 3?
Does he help us get slow white smurf receivers to come to BC for our semi-vertical passing game?
The nuclear enema is coming. I still hope BC wins 7, 8, or 12 for a BCS bowl game, but the speed and talent is just not there in the skill positions.
How bad is the atmosphere at Yawkey when Rutgers cherrypicks us and the Coach we all wanted in Leach snares our strength and conditioning guru?
Maybe we should make GDF and Spazoo wear those Star Trek collars, or even cheape,r the invisible fence for dog collars, and if they walk down the hall way to the Hockey offices the old star trek collar zaps them with 50,000 volts, or to be humane for Osprey, make the dog collar buzz and spurt out…
“You have strayed too far, go back now for your own safety, and the preservation of the York Championship aura!”

I like that big word at the end, it was very coherenteria!
Touche!
Quick Peek at 2012
Various Mags and sites have:
VT, AT FSU, AT GT, AT NCSU, CLEMSON, ND and MIAMI all ranked. All except Miami I believe have returning QB’s and Miami’s sucked anyway. 4 Home and 3 Away.
AT Wake — Wake’s class really matured and played Miss State tough in a bowl game and MD had huge graduation losses and a new Coach, so those 2 will be tough battles with BC’s new offense and transition play sequencing and calling. 1 Home and 1 Away
AT Army beat Northwestern at home and plays tough at Michie. They always give you a battle and with that rushing attack and not losing many starters, BC will have to not take this as an easy W. Army gets rolling early with that run attack it could spell upset.
AT Northwestern will be in Illinois and NU was also near the Top 25-35 rankings. This will be a very tough venue and team with Pat Fitz! NU also went bowling!
Maine has wild Bears.
Like I said, very, very tough to just win 5.
Only thing I disagree with here is Wake, who has to replace four starters on the OL.
Oh, and Northwestern and tough venue is an oxymoron. Even on September 15, I don’t think school starts up yet. NU has one of the latest starts in the country, and the ’Cats are notorious for only filling Ryan Field to half capacity.

Gene DeFilippo and Roberto Calvi and Godfather III
Maybe we can do a deja vu, a la Roberto Calvi?
A source of enduring controversy, his death in London in June 1982 was ruled a murder after two coroner’s inquests and an independent investigation after he ws found hanging from a bridge.
Paging Peter Clemenza….LMAO!
This should be a spellbinder… talking about our soccer teams, sailing and cultural ties..
LIFE IS VERY VERY GOOD FOR GDF!!

We would find a way to make excuse for a noon start and the fog when Oxford beats us.
Ditch Virginia Tech for a permanent cross-over rivalry with the Oxford rugby team. Surely BC football could knock them off.

They would lose to local clubs and teams that flew over from England and have compound fractures and drain kegs in minutes.
Distribution table or not, the Trustees and Leahy have to make a very easy call when BC falters?
