ECU closes in on coach
A late candidate emerged during East Carolina football’s search for a new coach, and the Pirates appear to have their man.
According to sources, Duke offensive coordinator Scottie Montgomery is believed to be ECU’s next coach. Approval is expected today during a university board of trustees special session.
The board of trustees special meeting regarding personnel is scheduled for 5 p.m. The meeting was announced Friday.
Final interviews were conducted Saturday — eight days after Ruffin McNeill was fired — and Montgomery’s emergence gained steam throughout the day.
