Addazio has a reputation as a fine recruiter, but is not well regarded as an X and O guy.   Very similar in that regard to Kyle Flood, the embattled RU HC who oversaw the Great RU Collapse of 2012.
 
The SU players who played under him loved him as a person.  He is, from all accounts, a genuinely great guy.  With a decent budget and pretty good facilities, he should win some games and have moderate success at BC.  
 
As we all know, he is very tight with Coach P, his mentor from way back.  Addazio is a Connecticut guy through and through and I think he was the logical successor to P at UConn.  Going to make for some awkward situations with P and Addazio clashing swords recruiting New England on a regular basis. 
 
I think it will be tough for P to win those battles.  The one thing he had going for him, relationships/history, has been lost, at least in regards to Addazio. 
 
From my perspective, BC, UConn and RU all have low end type coaches that are going to keep their ceilings low and make it a lot easier for Syracuse to establish dominance in the East.  They all took the cheap route when it came to HC hires and will pay the price accordingly.  I think this broke out well for us.
