Bad karma for firing Jeff Jagodzinski for merely interviewing for a NFL head coaching position.
not bad karma, bad recruiting ever since.
they go hand in hand.
call it what you want . . . BC doesn't get the same level of prospects, it seems, and the players also don't have the same level of discipline or show the same development.
long story short, **** gene defilippo.
They're sending their share of players into the pros: Ryan, Raji, Heinlich...
Spaz was a good assistant coach, but head coach seems to be too much responsibility for him. Against Duke they played 10 yards off the wideouts the whole game. Duke threw quick outs to them the whole game, it was their bread and butter play, and BC never adjusted by bringing their defensive backs up closer to the line.
At the end of the game they didn't manage the final series with much poise. Once the were in short field goal range, they should have just let the clock run down to about 5 seconds, while they moved the ball to the middle of the field for the game ending field goal. Instead, they had the quarterback spiking the ball way too early, and ran their last play to the left, not to the middle, so the field goal try came from the left hashmark (and hit the left upright). Of course, he still should have made it, but it's little things that win close games. It's the head coache's job to cover all the bases.
