Frank Spaziani Signs 2-Year Deal with Red Sox

Spaziani can't wait for more tough press conferences.

Boston -- Former Boston College Eagles football coach Frank Spaziani signed a 2-year, $2.6 million contract with the Boston Red Sox to become their assistant coach, Thursday. The Red Sox, who lost 20 out of 27 games this September, felt they had something to gain from a coach in an entirely different sport whose team will likely go 1-11 this season.

"Frank knows how to take proud franchises with winning seasons and get them off to historically poor starts," said Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein.

"He did manage a win in September, which is something we're looking for," he concluded.
