Report: Quinn withdraws candidacy to become next Rangers coach

David Quinn will not be the next coach of the New York Rangers.

The Boston Terriers bench boss was in the running, but has now withdrawn his name from consideration, a source told Larry Brooks of the New York Post.

The Rangers are in search of a new coach after Alain Vigneault was fired at season's end. Vigneault spent the past five seasons with New York.

As for Quinn, he's set to return to Boston University, his home for the last five seasons. He guided the Terriers to regular-season championships in 2015 and 2017.

Prior to joining the college ranks, Quinn spent four seasons with the Colorado Avalanche, including one year as an NHL assistant coach and three seasons as the bench boss of Colorado's AHL affiliate.
