I don't want Addazio. 7 wins at BC doesn't equate to 10 at a better school outside of the Big 10 or ACC.
It absolutely does. BC is cold Duke and Wake Forest but like a thousand miles from any good players. Outside of Duke and Wake Forest there are no other schools in the Big 10 or ACC that even comes close to a reasonable comparison to Boston College. I'm interested in knowing your rationale as to why BC isn't a horribly shitty football outpost? Is it their vast history of winning football, stellar recruiting classes, their amazing facilities, their huge budget, or their legion of fans? They literally have nothing. Like I said even Tobacco Road has Tobacco Road and weather on their side. I love Boston but there aren't hundreds of good college football prospects (hell hundreds of college prospects period) lining up to play four years in Boston in front of 30,000 fans a game.
BC is a shitty job, but you get to play schools like Wake Forest, Duke, NC State, Syracuse, and Pitt in your conference schedule. Throw in an OOC win vs Maine and I would say Proud Paul has had better years at ISU. I think what Addazio has done at BC would translate to 10 wins at a good program in the Big 10 or ACC, but it probably translates to 7 wins in a conference where you only get to schedule 3 OOC games and have to play Texas, OU, TCU, Baylor, and OSU every year.
