The similarities are striking in their first few years.
Steve Addazio came into the Boston College program and immediately got them to 7 wins. We didn’t know it at the time, but he would never take them further than that. His team did drop to 3-9 early in his tenure, but he was able to right the ship quickly and got the Eagles right back to 7 wins the very next year. There even came a point where 8 wins looked like a possibility, but a canceled bowl game stopped it from happening.
Jeff Hafley came into the Boston College program and immediately got them to 6 wins.
