So you think your boss is tough?

Just be glad you don’t work for Boston College Athletic Director Gene DeFilippo.

Maybe you’ve heard of this story. BC Head Football Coach Jeff Jagodzinski, who has led the Eagles to two ACC Atlantic Division titles in his two years at the helm, was in line to interview for the open head coaching spot with the New York Jets of the NFL.

It’s usually a logical progression. Hot college coaches are always in the running when a job opens up with an NFL team.

But when word got back to DeFilippo, he was less than thrilled. In fact, he threatened to fire Jagodzinski if went through with the interview.

Unfazed, Jagodzinski sat down with the Jets. And DeFilippo made good on his promise. He axed his head coach Wednesday.

And of course, the story has a local angle. DeFilippo once was the athletic director at Villanova. He left the Main Line for the opportunity at a bigger school, Boston College.

Imagine that, a guy looking to better his career?

I hope Jagodzinski gets the Jets job. But even if he doesn’t, he likely won’t have much trouble landing another college gig.

As for BC, good luck getting someone to take that spot with those kinds of edicts. Right now they’re looking at promoting one of Jagodzinski’s assistants.

Hope they never want to move on for a better position.
