Sources: Boston College fires coach Steve Addazio after seven seasons

Boston College fired coach Steve Addazio on Sunday, sources told Yahoo Sports, ending his seven-year tenure with a record of 44-44. Addazio led Boston College to bowl games in six of his seven seasons.

Sources told Yahoo Sports that wide receivers coach Rich Gunnell will serve as the interim coach while BC searches for a replacement.

Addazio proved solid during his tenure but never spectacular, as he went 22-34 in the ACC and beat just one team ranked by the Associated Press during his seven seasons. (That was No. 9 USC back in 2014.) BC brass made the move in the hopes of finding someone who can make the Eagles more competitive in the ACC.
