Report: Boston College promotes Todd Fitch to OC, hires Brian White as WRs coach

A few weeks after offensive coordinator Ryan Day left Boston College to join the staff of the Philadelphia Eagles, BC head coach Steve Addazio is reportedly promoting from within to fill the vacancy.

According to Sports Illustrated, wide receivers coach Todd Fitch has been promoted to offensive coordinator for the Eagles. Additionally, Addazio is bringing in former Florida assistant Brian White to coach the team’s wide receivers.

The 49-year-old Fitch arrived at Boston College with Addazio in 2013 and was the team’s passing game coordinator for the past two seasons. He has served as an offensive coordinator three other times in his career – at South Florida from 2010-12, at East Carolina in 2009 and 2010 and at UConn from 1996-98.

Additionally, Fitch had stints as an offensive assistant at Iowa State, South Carolina, Colorado State, Bowling Green and West Virginia in his nearly 20-year coaching career.

White joins Boston College’s staff after five seasons at Florida, where he coached tight ends (2009-10) and running backs (2011-13). Before his time at Florida, White had an eight-season run as Wisconsin’s offensive coordinator from 1999-2006. He also coached at Washington, Syracuse (offensive coordinator), UNLV, Nevada, Notre Dame and Fordham.

The Eagles finished 7-6 (4-4 ACC) in each of Addazio’s first two seasons with the program.
