SURPRISE: Boston College Reaches Out to Gerry McNamara—Can He REVIVE This Program?

Gerry McNamara, one of Boston College basketball’s fiercest rivals, emerges as a serious candidate for the Eagles’ head coaching job. Could the legendary Syracuse guard’s rapid turnaround at Siena make him the perfect fit—or does his offense raise red flags for an ailing BC program hungry for scoring? AJ Black weighs the pros and cons of McNamara’s candidacy, compares him to other names like Joe Gallo and Tulsa’s high-octane Eric Conkle, and questions whether familiar connections to Blake James will shape the final pick.   Plus, Bill O’Brien doubles down on accountability by naming himself Boston College’s new offensive coordinator, and BC baseball surges with historic wins over Miami and UConn. AJ Black breaks down what these coaching decisions mean for the Eagles’ future and spotlights the standout players making a difference across multiple sports.   If you’re a true diehard Boston College fan… the Everydayer All-Access tier is built for you.
