One coach who has garnered a lot of interest for a head coaching job is Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco, and it's easy to see why. Diaco leads a defense that is first in the country in points allowed, and in the top 10 in both passing and rushing yards against.
Long looked at as an area that needed to improve, the defense has been shored up during Diaco's time in South Bend. After a stellar 2012 campaign, Diaco won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach.
According to Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times, Diaco is one of three finalists for the Boston College head coaching job.
"It doesn't surprise me if they wanted to talk to Bob Diaco," Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said. "I think he's the finest defensive coordinator in the country."
Diaco has been a crucial part of Notre Dame's success, and losing him would be quite a blow on the defensive side of the ball.
UPDATE: Boston College has hired Temple coach Steve Addazio.
Bob Diaco has been the architect of Notre Dame's strong defense this season.
