The war of words between Boston College coach Bill O'Brien and former Eagles quarterback Tommy Castellanos added another chapter at this week's ACC Kickoff event, where Castellanos pushed back on claims he quit on his team last season.
Castellanos, now the starter at Florida State, was a two-year starter at BC, but after a three-game losing streak and a slow start against Syracuse on Nov. 11, O'Brien made a change to backup Grayson James. Two days later, Castellanos abruptly left the team.
Asked Wednesday if his confidence was ever rattled by the end of his BC career, Castellanos bristled at narratives that he quit on the team.
