USA Today and Seahawkaddicts.com are reporting that Boston College head coach Jeff Jagodzinski will be interviewing for the Jets head coaching job, despite reports that BC stated they would fire him for doing so.
If he does lose his Boston College coaching job and not get the Jets head coaching job, he would be a possible candidate as offensive coordinator for the Seahawks.
It's also possible Jagodzinski is looking to leave college football to return to the NFL and plans to leave BC no matter what, after spending two years there.
Jagodzinski has a few connections with the Seahawks that could draw him to Seattle.

Jagodzinski has ties with Hasselbeck going back to his senior year at Boston College back in 1997. Jagodzinski was offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Boston College from 1997-98, producing on average more than 400 yards per game. The ties to Hasselbeck are important, but the connection to the Seahawks goes even deeper.
He joined the Falcons and head coach Jim Mora Jr. and Tim Ruskell in Atlanta in 2004 as offensive line coach. On the way to an NFC championship game, the Falcons set a franchise record for rushing yards in 2004. And, in 2005, Warrick Dunn rushed for more than 1,400 yards behind a zone blocking scheme he learned from Alex Gibbs, who was offensive line coach under a Broncos team that won super bowl XXXIII.
Seahawks fans should be excited about the prospect of Jagodzinski joining the team as offensive coordinator because success seems to follow him wherever he’s coaching. When he went back to Boston College in 2007, he led the team to a no. 10 rank in the ACC at 11-3.
He helped produce Matt Ryan and Gosder Cherilus, two first-round draft picks. He’s also got loads of experience beginning his college coaching in 1985. Since then he has been the RBs coach, OL coach, TE coach and offensive coordinator. He also worked with Green Bay as OC in 2006.
