The 1934 Boston College Eagles football team represented Boston College as an independent during the 1934 college football season. The Eagles were led by seventh-year head coach Joe McKenney and played their home games at Alumni Field in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The team finished with a record of 5–4. At the conclusion of the season, McKenney resigned as head coach, seemingly at the height of his career at 30 years old, to accept a position as assistant director of physical education for Boston Public Schools.[2] McKenney was 44–18–3 while serving as head coach of Boston College.
