Former Connecticut head coach Jim Calhoun "has significant interest" in the vacant Boston College job, according to ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman.

Boston College parted ways with coach Steve Donahue after four seasons and a 54-76 record, including a 8-24 mark this season.

The 71-year-old Calhoun stepped down before the start of the 2012-13 season after breaking a hip in a bike-riding accident.

Calhoun is currently the special assistant to UConn athletic director Warde Manuel.

"I would not be opposed to talking to anyone about basketball," Calhoun said.

Calhoun coached the Huskies for 26 seasons and led them to three national championships.
