UTSA Defensive Coordinator Neal Neathery Leaves for Eastern Michigan

The Roadrunners will need to replace both coordinators after a disappointing 2015 season.

Per a report from Football Scoop, UTSA defensive coordinator Neal Neathery will be named defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at Eastern Michigan.

Through five years as UTSA's defensive coordinator, Neathery has put his stamp on the program's defense by building run-stopping defenses that gives its offense opportunities to win games in spite of the uptempo revolution that is lighting up scoreboards across the nation.

Neathery was likely UTSA's best coach and did a terrific job at UTSA despite what the program's win/loss record may dictate.
