A bit surprised by this. I don't see how there is any good in this for anyone. I'd probably look to get out of there if I was the coach, unless I was really happy or something...

I think that is wrong. The world of coaching tends to be this way; always looking for the next step. Its going to be harder for BC to bring in talented coaches if they know that they won't be appreciated looking for new jobs.

Well, apparently he went through with the interview and they will now fire him:

I don't really understand BC's position on this. College coaches interview for NFL jobs all the time. If you want to argue that it's a bit unethical, you won't get any counter-argument from me. But nobody is breaking any rules as far as I know and Boston College has to look at this from a business standpoint.

BC needs to take a look in the mirror and realize who really has the upper hand here. Boston College is not the end of the world. If they fire him, he will get a decent job elsewhere. I think making that kind of threat is either a way of telling the coach they don't want him around anymore, and if they do want him back I think that this is a very counterproductive approach to take.
