Wabash names Raeburn coach Wabash announced it has hired Coe coach Erik Raeburn to coach the Little Giants. He replaces Chris Creighton, who left for Division I Drake after coaching Wabash to the national quarterfinals this past season. Raeburn comes to Wabash after eight years at Coe, where he posted a 57-26 record. Prior to arriving at Coe, Raeburn was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Mount Union, where he served as offensive line coach and offensive coordinator. Raeburn guided Coe to its first IIAC title in school history in 2002, and followed with conference championships in 2004 and 2005. He was the 2002 IIAC Coach of the Year and a regional coach of the year. He led the Kohawks to their first-ever playoff win in 2002, advancing to the second round, and also led Coe to the playoffs in 2005. “We’re very pleased to have a person with Erik’s experience and ability,” said Wabash dean of students Tom Bambrey, who led the search committee. “With his coaching experience at Mount Union and Coe, he brings us exactly the kinds of skills we were seeking. We’re thrilled to have him as a part of our community.” As an assistant coach under Larry Kehres at Mount Union, he helped the Purple Raiders six Ohio Athletic Conference Championships and three NCAA Division III national championships (1996, 1997, 1998). | ||
