30 years ago…..

I remember the name from when they played Duluth East in the 1994 AA quarterfinals. Didn't know he was still coaching.

The big question (for me, at least) is where Mike Randolph will land. I don't believe he's done coaching yet.

Care to share? Why did Ranheim leave?

[Cookster]

It was my understanding that Ranheim was not retained.

Oh. They didn't do well over his tenure, but with the exception of 1 or 2, he didn't have a lot to work with either IMO.

They were in the section final and lost in OT a year ago.

headsupsticksdown--You seem to be a little plugged in, or at least know someone that knows someone. What are you hearing about the EP coaching search?

I heard two things, so who knows if it's true, but this is a message board, so it's fun to throw this on a wall:
1) An assistant interviewed & was NOT one of the semifinalists.
2) Someone who is/was one of the semifinalists was a parent of a former player who, lets say, had some eligibility questions, that were solved in time for a championship run a few years ago.

Rumor 1 would not surprise me; Rumor 2 definitely would surprise me.

Rumor 2 is true - he did apply and interview.

Apparently - they are down to their 3-4 finalists and hoping to have it wrapped up in the next week or so.
