After adding both coordinators earlier this week, Jeff Hafley continued Wednesday the process of filling out the rest of his Boston College football coaching staff.
According to a release from the school, Hafley has hired Sean Duggan as his linebackers coach. Duggan spent the past season as a graduate assistant at Ohio State.
There’s a connection there as Hafley came to BC after spending last season as the co-defensive coordinator at OSU.
“After working with Sean at Ohio State, he was a guy who jumped out that if I ever landed a head job, I have to hire this guy,” said Hafley in a statement. “He is smart, reliable, sees things on gameday and really understands the big picture. He is well advanced beyond his years and has a chance to be a superstar in our profession.”
The hiring serves as a homecoming as Duggan played his college football at BC, serving as a captain as a senior in 2014. All told, Duggan played in 45 games during his playing career with the Eagles.
Duggan also began his coaching career at his alma mater as a graduate assistant in 2015.
From there, he moved on to Hawaii as linebackers coach in 2016-17. In 2018, he held the same position at UMass.
