ECU FIRES MONTGOMERY BEFORE SEASON FINALEby eric d. graham
We knew it was coming. But, we, just didn't know when.
Unfortunately, the day came before we were prepared. Because, East Carolina finally fired 40-year-old , head coach Scottie Montgomery, who posted a (9-26) overall record while in Greensville for the past three seasons, which included a disappointing 4-20 mark in the American Athletic Conference
...
Montgomery, a former Duke and NFL wide receiver, landed the head coaching position at ECU after a successful stint as the Blue Devil's offensive coordinator in Durham, NC.
According to ECU, Montgomery, who once was the wide receivers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, had two years left on his contract with the Pirates with a base salary of $400,000, which will be paid by the athletic department.
With Montgomery out, defensive coordinator David Blackwell will coach the Pirates (3-8) in their season finale on Saturday at NC State. (fouls & fumbles)(bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)
