Boston College fires Earl Grant after five-year run

Boston College has dismissed head coach Earl Grant after five seasons, ending a 2025-26 campaign that finished 10-20 and missed the ACC tournament. The Eagles struggled on offense, averaging 67 points per game (343rd in Division I), with recurring scoreless stretches that undermined the team despite periods of solid defense. The 2023-24 season offered a brief high point at 20-16 with an ACC quarterfinal upset run, but the roster collapsed afterward. BC Interruption says the search for a new coach will unfold in the coming weeks as potential candidates are evaluated.
