SHIPPING OUT TO BOSTON? It's coaching speculation season and I expect at least one Buckeye assistant coach to be tossed into every list of candidates for every vacancy, because that's what happens what you have the best coaching staff in the country that's made up of mostly rising stars.

And with former Ohio State assistant athletic director Martin Jarmond at the helm at Boston College, we've got a few Buckeyes – past and present – on the shortlist.

1) Luke Fickell, Cincinnati – This would be a coup for Jarmond, and there’s a long history after they overlapped at Ohio State in their previous jobs. But there are likely brighter lights awaiting Fickell, be it at Michigan State or even something more high-profile if he’s patient. The last two Cincinnati coaches to move up went to Notre Dame (Brian Kelly) and Tennessee (Butch Jones).

...

4) Jeff Hafley, Ohio State DC – He returned from the NFL to pull off one of this season’s best coordinating jobs, as Ohio State’s defense is No. 1 in total defense after being No. 72 last year. He’s a prolific recruiter in New Jersey from his time at Pitt and Rutgers, which would be especially helpful if an outsider ends up at Rutgers.

...

9) Al Washington, Ohio State LB coach – He’s a former Boston College player and assistant coach who is rising precipitously through the profession with recent stops at Cincinnati, Michigan and now Ohio State. At age 35, he’s likely a few years away from head coaching jobs. He’s well thought of at the school and one of the country’s bright young position coaches.

At the risk of upsetting some Boston College alums with Google News alerts, who the hell does BC think it is with some of these names? You're just lying to yourself if you think Boston College is any more than a lateral move from Cincinnati, or even a coordinator position at Ohio State. Why the hell would Luke Fickell or Jeff Hafley do that? Just take your comparable (or better!) pay now, and get a better job in a year or two.

As for Al Washington, with nothing but respect to him, if Boston College wants to hand the keys to a 35-year-old linebackers coach, he should uh, absolutely take them. And it seems like that might actually be a real possibility?



Regardless of what happens, I am absolutely certain some folks are getting some well-deserved raises this offseason.

BOSTON COLLEGE 26, DUKE 6
In his head coaching debut, Jeff Hafley was a 5.5-point underdog on the road against Duke. It would be a pretty big understatement to say the former Buckeye defensive coordinator was impressive in his first game. The Eagles' defense forced five turnovers and was dominant against a team that put up a solid fight against Notre Dame just one week ago.

Notre Dame transfer Phil Jurkovec won the starting quarterback job – his first start since his senior year of high school in 2017 – and threw for 300 yards with a pair of scores and one interception. Wideout Zay Flowers stole the show with five receptions for 162 yards and a 61-yard score. Two interceptions and three lost fumbles didn't help the Blue Devils' chances against Hafley's defense.

Jaelen Gill earned a starting wideout role for the Eagles, but he'll look to make more of an impact moving forward. He caught just one pass for a three-yard loss in his debut.

Ohio State has lost a staff member: linebackers assistant staffer Michael Cibene is joining Jeff Hafley’s staff at Boston College.

A former Ohio State safety, Cibene has worked with linebackers coach Al Washington for the last two seasons. He now will join Hafley as a defensive graduate assistant for Boston College, which hired Hafley away from the Buckeyes after the 2019 season.
