Two obvious potential candidates for Boston College athletic director

With today’s news that Pat Kraft will reportedly be heading to Penn State to be their next athletic director, speculation is sure to begin in earnest about who will replace him — and, more importantly, what qualities BC will look for in a replacement.

With high turnover now - Jarmond and Kraft both apparently departing within three years - there may be more of an emphasis on stability, rather than on an ‘upwardly mobile’ candidate who’s a likely quick flight risk if they find success.

This is a bit of a turnaround from other recent BC hires, where the emphasis was moreso on finding coaches or administrators early in their career with rising profiles — think Hafley, Jarmond, etc.
