Jeff Hafley (DC Green Bay Packers)

“Winning 7+“ is just a slightly nicer accolade than “bowl eligible.”

Exactly. This world isn’t like quitting McDonalds and going to work at Wendy’s. Reputations and relationships are huge. He’s a professional, he’ll do right by tOSU.

Supremely confident.

I'm not saying Hafley is or isn't one of them... but there are most certainly people in the College and NFL coaching circles that act exactly like that.

Consistent mediocrity is still consistency.

Yeap... #2 on that list knows it well.

“I have to go back,” Hafley said. “I wish that I could stay here and start working right now, but I have to go win a national championship. I owe it to Ohio State, to Coach Day, to the players, and I’m excited. So I’m gonna go do that.”

Tough loss. Wish we could have held onto him for a few more years. BC lucked out bc I don't know if they could have found a better fit. 7-5 to 8-4 by year 2 would not surprise me. ACC isn't very strong top to bottom so he could have some success right away.

They got a good one. Don’t begrudge him at all.

All good, but I really don’t understand this one. I wonder if maybe he’s angling for the Notre Dame job in two years or some other higher level job that he couldn’t get without head coach experience. Boston College just doesn’t make any sense except as a springboard to somewhere else.

He's from the Northeast, so maybe being close to home is a priority for him. And if so, I don't begrudge him taking the job at all.

I love his desire and intensity mixed with raw honesty. He will be missed! He will take BC to new heights...beat Clemson!!

 

[Hstead]

I was worried he would be half in and half out and I wouldn't have blamed him. He has a new job to do. But the man did his job tonight. Thanks coach and good luck. We are going to miss you next year. Thanks for rebuilding the Silver Bullets into the best D in the country from damn near the worst. Incredible job this year.

Better than Alex Grinch. No doubt about that.
