If I was a young D2 or FCS coach I would love to come to EMU and be part of his staff and be part of the best culture and value program IMO in the MAC and one of the best in the entire country.

He seems to build a superior culture. It cannot be an accident that QB Michael Penix transferred from one Creighton disciple, Tom Allen at IU, to another at Washington. I assume there was collaboration with DeBoer on the move.

No hires like Josh Gattis who spit back at you when they depart.

Recruiting coaches is like recruiting players - guys go where they will get the opportunity to grow themselves and their career. CC has two former coordinators who are P5 HCs. Who else in the MAC can say that? It's an underrated skill.
