Logan to Boston - and we don't mean the airport
The folks who would know, 850 the Buzz, just put up an update on their blog announcing that former ECU coach Steve Logan will become the new offensive coordinator at Boston College. (second item down)
There has been speculation about Logan's future for several weeks down. He was a hot item at UNC, BC and Duke, depending on which message boards you were reading. But he winds up at BC where he'll be working for one of his former assistants, Jeff Jagodzinski.
I'm not surprised that Logan's back in college coaching. Just from talking to him last week it was clear that the itch was still there, despite all of his on-air complaints about the headaches involved in coaching 18 to 22 year-olds. But it's interesting that a guy who has carved out a nice post-ECU career as a beach bum part of the year and an NFL Europe offensive coordinator for the rest of the time will now head up to frigid Boston for full-time work in the college game.
Having said that, never, ever, underestimate the power of personal relationships when it comes to putting together a coaching staff. Oh, and money.
