He got whacked by the mob in Montreal in the 90's in a territory dispute over cigarette smuggling. They basically shot him to pieces

The EMU's want him and might get him. That would be a coup for them.

Coached at Baylor and several other school.

This would be quality minority hire. Not saying this is a must but it could be a plus.

Barbers has interviewed at Eastern Michigan and considered the leading candidate.

He should be considered for the job! He has a staff, With some Ohio ties which would help recruiting

He was beaten out for the EMU gig by another FCS coach...he spent a lot of years as a collegiate coach and never rose above being a positional coach before heading off to be the head guy at EIU where he went 7-5 and 12-1 with a QB drawing NFL scouts that was there when he got there. Not sure that's what we're looking for here...

He wasn't beaten out, he wasn't hired. Eastern knew they couldn't afford what he was asking for. Eastern MI was looking for valued priced coaches. Epsn u had a behind the seen show on Eastern IL if you can find it watch it. It think this coach commands respect and runs an organized team approach. Eastern IL was far from being a power in the Ohio Valley Conference, they have now won two in a conference championships. They play Friday night on espn2. Maybe he isn't a good fit but I think he's worth a good look. He's worked under several good coaches.

It's a decent hire IMO. Head coaching experience means something in this league. He's not Clawson or Lembo but is probably as close as they were going to get to that.

Creighton's contract is 5 years, $400k per year. 3rd highest paid MAC coach. What did he want? Besides something completely unrealistic for a coach with his resume.
