Steve Addazio is the head football coach at Boston College, which is, by all accounts, a very good school, but Addazio is a throwback. He’s a football guy, through and through, who cares about toughness and grit and heart and would prefer if you keep your analytics out of his football.
Addazio is a legend, not for his on-field exploits at Boston College — although the 2015 game against Wake Forest deserves to be remembered forever — as the Eagles haven’t been especially good under Addazio, but instead his old Vine page where he just kept talking about guys being dudes is the best coach social media account of all time.
So, it should come as no surprise that Addazio isn’t phased by a little solar eclipse. On Monday, when asked what he’s going to do when the eclipse rolls through, Addazio apparently said he’s not buying what these soft scientists are selling in telling everyone to wear protective glasses and he plans on staring directly at the sun without any to prove them wrong.
Steve Addazio isn't here for your #SolarEclipse2017 science. "I'm gonna look at it and I'm not wearing glasses. See if I'm blind tomorrow."

Hell yes, Steve. You prove those nerds wrong. Addazio’s logic is air-tight as well.
"So are all the dogs and all the horses and all the animals gonna be blind tomorrow?"

Check and mate, dorks. Addazio’s going to stare right at that sun and prove that he’s tougher than those UV rays.
Addazio isn’t the only college football coach to weigh in on the eclipse. Nick Saban said he saw what it’s going to look like on the Weather Channel so he doesn’t see what all the fuss is about, while Will Muschamp isn’t quite sure what an eclipse is or when it’s happening.

Football is back baby and unless the moon and sun can run a 4.4 40 or get after the quarterback, these coaches don’t have any time for their shenanigans.
