CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College head football coach Steve Addazio announced today that Scott McLafferty has returned to the Heights as the football program’s head strength and conditioning coach. McLafferty replaces Frank Piraino, who was named the head strength and conditioning coach with the Tennessee Titans.

“We are excited to welcome Scott and his family back to Boston College,” Addazio said. “He did a tremendous job during his tenure at BC before and knows our program and our players. We know he is a great asset to have in leading our strength and conditioning program.

“Frank was an integral part of our success in the development of our players and program. It’s bittersweet to lose him but he has a terrific opportunity with the Titans and we wish him all the best.”

McLafferty returns to BC after serving as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Texas for the past two seasons.

Prior to being named associate director for football in February 2009, McLafferty was the coordinator and head strength coach for the Rice men’s basketball and men’s and women’s tennis teams for two years.

McLafferty began his full-time collegiate employment as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Louisiana Tech University in August 2004, serving in that position for one academic year before he was elevated to head strength coach for Bulldog men’s basketball.
