Boston College fired coach Steve Addazio on Sunday after seven seasons at the school, sources told ESPN.
Addazio led the Eagles to bowl eligibility in six of seven seasons, but he never won more than seven games at the school. He finishes his career at 44-44 overall and 22-34 in ACC play, with a 1-3 mark in bowl games (the First Responder Bowl last year was a no contest because of extensive weather delays). Boston College won at Pittsburgh on Saturday to even its regular-season record at 6-6.
Yahoo! first reported Addazio's dismissal Sunday, adding that wide receivers coach Rich Gunnell will serve as Boston College's interim coach. The Eagles will learn their bowl destination next Sunday.
Athletic director Martin Jarmond didn't hire Addazio, who received a two-year contract extension late last season, although industry sources said the school considered making the change a year ago. Addazio came to Boston College after two seasons as Temple's coach.
