Tony Peterson Keeps Passing A Priority At East Carolina

A team known for their Air Raid offense during Ruffin McNeill's tenure, the Pirates will continue that tradition with Tony Peterson taking over the offense for head coach Scottie Montgomery.

After a quick but extensive search, the East Carolina Pirates have a new offensive coordinator in Tony Peterson. The 49-yard old has spent the last three seasons overseeing the Louisiana Tech offense. Before that, the former Marshall quarterback spent the 2010-2012 seasons at his alma mater, working as the Co-Offensive Coordinator under Doc Holliday.

Peterson has been in the coaching profession since 1990, spending the majority of his coaching career with the Thundering Herd.
