<p>Boston College's football team will hold its annual media day on Friday afternoon at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, MA. Frank Spaziani, the Eagles' head coach, as well as other coaches and players will be made available for interviews.</p> <p><a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/boston-college-eagles" class="sbn-auto-link">Boston College</a> football holds it's annual media day on Friday morning and afternoon at the press facilities inside Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, MA. The day begins with lunch at 11:30 a.m. ET, followed by a press conference with head coach Frank Spaziani at noon.</p>
<p>After Spaziani's press conference, new offensive coordinator Doug Martin and defensive coordinator Bill McGovern will be made available to the media, as well as a handful of players, likely including projected starting quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113047/chase-rettig" class="sbn-auto-link">Chase Rettig</a>, linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis and more.</p>
<p>Boston College is coming off of a disappointing 4-8 (3-5 ACC) campaign last season. The lackluster four-win total resulted in the Eagles failing to earn a bowl berth for the first time in 12 years. Under Spaziani, the Eagles have a 20-19 record and 1-2 mark in bowl games.</p>
<p>BC opens the regular season against the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday, September 1.</p>
