IIRC they hired him the year before when Hartley got off to a crap start and he righted the ship. The next year they didn't exactly just blow up and got to the second round. When they brought him back a few years later the team was a bit of a compost heap, with the legendary Peter Budaj in goal (again IIRC). Note: I'm not advocating that Granato's any kind of coaching genius. I also think NHL and college hockey are two different planets.
