Patrick Kraft, the former athletic director at Temple, sees Boston College as ‚an incredible opportunity to go win championships and compete at the highest level.‘
BOSTON — New Boston College athletic director Patrick Kraft hired two football coaches in his last three years at his old job, and it’s fine with him if he doesn’t have to do it again any time soon.
The former Temple AD, who was hired last week to take over in Chestnut Hill, inherits former Ohio State assistant Jeff Hafley, who was brought on by BC AD Martin Jarmond before he left to take over at UCLA.
“He is definitely a great hire,” Kraft said in a Zoom call with reporters – and many BC coaches, including Hafley. “I’ve had to make my share of hires in football. I am really excited to get together with Jeff and his staff.… I believe in where Jeff’s mind is, where he’s going, what he wants to do, how hard he wants to work. I couldn’t be more excited.”
Kraft, 43, was a football player at Indiana who took over the Temple athletic department in 2015.
