It has long been presumed that when Jerry York eventually retired as head coach at BC, the coaching search would mostly be focused on internal or internal-ish candidates — those with close ties to BC, either as alums or members of Jerry York’s staff.
This seems likely, but without a doubt, BC will want to do its due diligence and explore candidates from outside the BC community as well - including exploring some top names in the sport and seeing if they’d be willing to decamp to Chestnut Hill.
If they do that, there should be very, very few names ahead of Providence College head coach Nate Leaman on the call list.
