Less than a week after a report came out that Steve Donahue’s job was safe, Boston College has reportedly fired their head coach.

The news was first reported by Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com.

Donahue was hired back in 2010 after leading Cornell to the Sweet 16, but he has been unable to get the program up and running. Heading into the 2013-2014 season, the Eagles had all kinds of expectations, but they finished the season 8-23 and just 4-14 in the ACC. They were the most disappointing team in the country.

After the Eagles lost in the ACC tournament, the Boston Globe reported that BC’s three best players -- Olivier Hanlan, Ryan Anderson and James Rahon -- were all considering leaving the program. Hanlan was going to go pro while Anderson and Rahon were thinking of transferring back to the west coast, according to the report.
