Interesting timing. Couldn't find it, but did it say what happened to the Evanston coach?

Interesting happenings..

Not sure on the behind the scenes...But seems like one of the best jobs in the state just opened up at a strange time.

I am sure EB's name will come up. Not sure of the assistants there.
