Boston College has dismissed men’s basketball head coach Earl Grant following five seasons leading the program, according to multiple media reports released Sunday.
The 49-year-old coach compiled a 72-92 overall record with the Eagles, finishing this past season with an 11-20 record and a disappointing 4-14 conference record in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
The Eagles secured a 77-69 win against Notre Dame on Saturday, temporarily positioning themselves for the 15th and final spot in the ACC tournament bracket. However, Pittsburgh claimed that final berth later that day with their victory over Syracuse.
Before joining Boston College, Grant spent seven seasons leading the College of Charleston program, where he achieved a 127-89 record. During his tenure with the Cougars, he successfully guided the team to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2018.
The coaching change comes just one week after Boston College also terminated women’s basketball head coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee, marking a complete overhaul of the school’s basketball programs.
