Voices of Disgust: Boston College Fans Want Spaziani Fired
By Joe Micik

Boston College football is in the toilet yet again, and there is one man chiefly responsible: Frank Spaziani. Sure, there are other factors, but the head coach is a defeatist who can’t coach, in a game or during the week, can’t build a roster, and can’t accept any responsibility.
After Saturday’s most recent loss, a 51-7 drubbing by the Florida State Seminoles, BC fans have taken to Twitter and elsewhere to sound off disapproval of the regime.
When I can't stand to watch #BCEagles football games, something is really wrong. #FireSpaz #weareBC

Spaz needs to go, not tomorrow, not next week, not at the end of the season RIGHT NOW #FIRESPAZ

#FireSpaz can't even trend in Boston tonight? Maybe we are pathetic #WeAreBC

And many fans directed their anger at new athletic director Brad Bates, in hopes that he would come to swift judgment on Spaziani’s failed tenure:
@BCBradBates Want a successful tenure at BC? Check your mentions about the game yesterday. Fanbase AND Players deserve much better #FireSpaz

@BCBradBates #FireSpaz or @BostonCollege doesn't get donations from 75% of alums. Do the math.

@BCBradBates no need to wait until the end of the season. Spaz should be canned on Mon. He's the worst. Give the kids a chance to win.

Hoping @BCBradBates can bring back the program I love and I've grown up with. We the fans deserve better. Alums, fans and students #WeAreBC

This fanbase has had enough, and if we’ve had enough, we can only imagine what the players are feeling right now. All of this has gone on long enough. As a fanbase, we are united in our cause of removing Frank Spaziani.
