Jeff Jagodzinski is an American football coach, currently serving as the head coach of the Boston College football team. He has coached college and NFL football for more than 20 years.
Jagodzinski began his coaching career as the running backs coach for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 1985. He then was the offensive line coach for Northern Illinois University in 1986. He held the same position with LSU from 1987 through 1988. In 1989 he became the tight ends/assistant offensive line coach for East Carolina University and remained in that position until 1996. In 1997 and 1998 he served as the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at Boston College.
He made the transition to the NFL in 1999 becoming the tights ends coach for the Green Bay Packers under head coach Ray Rhodes. Rhodes and most of his staff was fired after that season, but new head coach Mike Sherman kept Jagodzinski until 2003 when he was released. He was quickly picked up by the Atlanta Falcons to be the offensive line coach.
Jagodzinski was hired by Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy on 2006-01-15 to replace offensive coordinator Tom Rossley. Only the fifth individual to hold the title of Packers offensive coordinator, Jagodzinski joins Paul Roach (1975-76), Lindy Infante (1988-91), Sherman Lewis (1992-99) and Tom Rossley (2000-05). Bob Schnelker (1969-71), John Polonchek (1972-74), Lew Carpenter (1975-79) and Tom Coughlin (1986-87) served as passing game coordinators on staffs that didn't necessarily carry an offensive coordinator.
During his time with the Atlanta Falcons Jagodzinski learned offensive zone blocking schemes from Alex Gibbs, the architect of some of the best offensive lines in NFL history, including the 1997-98 Denver Broncos World Champions.
Most recently Jagodzinski has been hired as the next head coach at Division 1-A Boston College. He will replace Tom O'Brien, who left Boston College to be the head coach at Atlantic Coast Conference rival North Carolina State University.
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Jagodzinski played collegiately, starting three years at fullback. He was all-conference at West Allis Central High School in Wisconsin.
