Steve Logan as Potential OC

Dammit! Get your Jesuit ass back here! What happened to getting all the second best Catholics in the country???

These guys with Boston College ties just won’t die! In comes another well-talked about OC name in Steve Logan, most recently the offensive coordinator under Jeff Jagodzinski. I guess once Coach Jags deciding to get himself fired Logan wanted out as well. Can’t really blame him. BC is at best a perennial 9 win team, with the once every 15 years squad who gets a Matt Ryan type player during the perfect season of an entire down year for all teams, and they still end up with a bunch of losses. You’ll never win an national title there, and now that they got all “That’s my Gameboy!” and had to follow Va Tech and Miami to the ACC, they won’t be winning any league titles either. When you can’t beat a one trick pony Virginia Tech team two years running, it’s just not going to happen.

Logan best resume guaging ability was his time with East Carolina, Head Coach from 1992-2002. He is their all-time winningiest coach (69-58), and pretty much put the program on the map with 5 bowl appearances. I recall vividly a 1999 Thursday night win against Miami that seemed huge when I was in high school.

I think a lot of Hurricane fans are putting too much thought into the fact Logan was the Head Coach of the East Carolina team that demolished Miami 31-6, back in 1996. Get over it people. This guy grabbed lightning in a bottle with Matt Ryan, and they both had a great year together. Give him credit, because Ryan was not that great his junior year, definitely not top 3 NFL draft pick material. BC, Jagodzinski, and Logan all benefited from a huge downturn in the entire ACC conference.

Steve Logan is definitely one of the better coaches available. Could Logan do wonders with Miami’s talent level? Absolutely. I just feel he would sign his offer letter with Miami, and while he’s walking to his new office, would be thinking when he will start contacting new places for his own HC job. This guy is too NFL. Miami needs someone more ready to stick around for at least 4 years, someone less name-proven. And frankly, BC sucks. Anytime I watch them, even with Ryan last year, I never got the sense their offense was tearing it up. Ryan would have some deep balls thrice a game, and that was that. Next!
