Boston College Threatens Coach for Jets Interview

Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski has been told he will be fired if he interviews for the head-coaching vacancy with the New York Jets, according to sources.

The interview is scheduled for Monday evening. Despite the threat from athletic director Gene DeFilippo, Jagodzinski plans to do the interview with the Jets, the sources said.

If Jagodzinski is fired, the school will consider three in-house candidates to replace him as head coach — offensive coordinator Steve Logan, defensive coordinator Frank Spaziani and offensive line/assistant head coach Jack Bicknell — a source told ESPN.com’s Pat Forde. [ESPN]
