Eddie's name was 100% on Moeller's preliminary short list when Rodenberg officially resigned after the 2017 season. I'm not sure whether or not things progressed far enough for them to actually reach out to Coach Eviston and ask him to interview. The deal was sealed with Doug Rosfeld in quick order.

Dan Ryan is a retired police officer and, I believe, ex-military man. Father of two Covington Catholic graduates, including CCH Hall Of Famer Sean Ryan. He used to run a strength and conditioning training facility called All-American Athletic Training Center that worked, specifically, with high school athletes in the Northern Kentucky area. He's been on staff at Cov Cath, I believe, the entire time that Eddie E. has been head football coach.

Whole? What was un-whole about it?

Could have been four state runners-up from 2018. They contacted Covington Catholic to inquire about filling the slot in their schedule formerly occupied by Newport Central Catholic.
