Per a report by FootballScoop.com, Eastern Michigan is set to hire Neal Neathery as the football team's new defensive coordinator. Neathery has been the defensive coordinator for the UTSA Roadrunners for six seasons, also serving as the linebackers coach.
This wouldn't be the first time Neathery and Chris Creighton have worked together. Or the second, or even the sixth. After three seasons in his first job with Sterling College, he joined Creighton's staff in 1997 at Ottawa (Crieghton's first year as a head coach). He stayed with Creighton for all four years there, then moved with to Wabash from 2001-2007 continuing their winning ways (32-9 Ottawa, 63-15 Wabash).
