Boston College has fired Earl Grant after five seasons, the school announced Sunday.
Grant, 49, posted a 72-92 record during his time with the Eagles, including 11-20 this season with a 4-14 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
'We are grateful to Earl for his dedication to our student-athletes and to the Boston College community over the past five seasons,' Boston College AD Blake James said in a statement. 'Earl is a man of high character who represented our institution with class. However, we have greater expectations for our basketball program and I believe a change in leadership is necessary to change the trajectory of our program. We wish Earl and his family nothing but the best going forward.'
Boston College notched a 77-69 victory over Notre Dame on Saturday to move into position to potentially seize the 15th and final seed in the ACC tournament. However, Pitt wrested it away by toppling Syracuse later in the day.
'Our goal remains to compete at the highest level of college basketball and provide a world-class experience for our student-athletes,' James continued. 'We will begin a national search immediately for a new head coach who shares our vision of excellence, both on the court and in the classroom.'
Grant was 127-89 during his seven seasons at the College of Charleston. He guided the Cougars to the NCAA Tournament in 2018. He is 199-181 in 12 overall seasons.
Sunday's news comes one week after Boston College parted ways with women's basketball head coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee.
