John Anderson, and Jack Bicknell to fill out the coaching staff. Yukica also sought to expand BC's recruiting nationwide and committed to recruiting African-American players. Prior to his arrival, the school had only had five black football players in its history. In his Yukica's 10 years as head coach, Boston College had a 68–37 record and only one losing season. This included a 18–14 record against the "Eastern Big Five" schools (Army, Navy, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Penn State), a vast improvement over the 1–19 record BC had in the decade prior to Yukica’s arrival. The school also began taking on bigger competition, dropping Maine, William & Mary, Richmond, Detroit, and Buffalo from the schedule and in favor of Notre Dame, Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech, and Texas Tech. In 1976, Boston College upset the Earl Campbell-led Texas Longhorns 14–13. His 68 wins remained the school record until 2006 when he was passed by Tom O'Brien. After the 1970 season Yukica was offered the head coaching job at Dartmouth. He came "as close as you can get" to taking the job, but decided to remain at Boston College, as he felt coaching the up-and-coming Eagles was more of a challenge than taking over the Ivy League champion. The following year he interviewed for the University of Maryland job, but withdrew from consideration before his second interview. Despite his success, BC was unable to reach a bowl game under Yukica, which led to pressure from the school's alumni. In 1977, the Eagles went 6–5, which included a 44–0 blowout loss to Texas and a 35–21 upset to rival Holy Cross. Dartmouth The Dartmouth job opened up again in 1978 and this time Yukica took it. Dartmouth won the Ivy League championship in 1978 and shares of the championship in 1981 and 1982. The team then backslid, going 8–19–2 over the next three seasons. Yukica was asked by athletic director Ted Leland to resign after a 2–7–1 1985 season. He refused and on November 29, 1985, Yukica was removed as head coach and reassigned to another position in the athletic department for the remainder of his contract, which was to expire on June 30, 1987. Yukica, represented by attorney Michael Slive, filed suit seeking to have his dismissal declared illegal and be allowed to complete his contract. Dartmouth, represented by Thomas D. Rath, contended that the school had the right to change
