Boston College head football coach Frank Spaziani was fired on Sunday, one day after the Eagles completed their worst season in 34 years.The Eagles concluded a dreadful 2012 campaign with a 2-10 record and went 1-7 in the Atlantic Coast Conference following Saturday's 27-10 loss at North Carolina State. It marked the program's lowest winning percentage since an 0-11 finish in 1978 and its lowest win total since going 2-9 in 1989.Boston College posted an 8-5 record in Spaziani's first season as head coach in 2009 and went 7-6 the following year, but slipped to a 4-8 mark last season and fell further this year.The decision ends Spaziani's 16-year tenure with Boston College that began with a two-year stint as running back coach under Tom O'Brien from 1997-98. He was named the Eagles' defensive coordinator in 1999 and served 10 seasons in that capacity before being promoted to the top post after Jeff Jagodzinski was fired for interviewing for the then-vacant New York Jets' head coaching po...
