Pirates unite for American Conference Media Day

The football coaches of the American Athletic Conference, escorted by selected players, descended on Rhode Island to participate in the AAC’s Summer Kickoff and Media Days, which came to an end yesterday.

East Carolina University's Head Coach Scottie Montgomery came to the two-day event with one objective in mind: “Excellence.”

That is a far cry for the team that went 3-9 last season and had the worst turnover differential in the entire conference. This year Montgomery expects every player to strive to reach his goal.

"Whether it's off the field or on the field, they know exactly what I mean when I say excellence," Montgomery said.
