East
Carolina football coach Scottie Montgomery put the finishing touch on
his inaugural full-time staff on Monday with the hiring of Vanderbilt
graduate assistant Ryan Anderson as inside linebackers coach.
Anderson brings three years of experience in the rigors of the
Southeastern Conference as a defensive assistant for the Commodores.
He
served the last two seasons alongside Vanderbilt associate head
coach and linebackers coach Kenwick Thompson, who departed Nashville
last month to accept an appointment by Montgomery as ECU's defensive
coordinator.
"Ryan is a dynamic young
coach whose successful background in the SEC and knowledge of our
defensive philosophy was a perfect match," Montgomery stated in a
press release announcing Anderson's hiring.
A Presbyterian alum and
former standout linebacker for the Blue Hose, Anderson made coaching
stops at Reinhardt University and Cumberland University before
assuming his duties at Vanderbilt.
Anderson joins
10 previously-announced staff hires since
Montgomery's
appointment to succeed Ruffin McNeill as head coach of the Pirates:
• Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach
Tony Petersen (previously
served in that same capacity at Louisiana Tech)
•
Defensive coordinator
Kenwick Thompson (previously served as
Vanderbilt associate head coach
and linebackers coach)
•
Offensive line coach Geep Wade (previously served in the same role
at Middle Tennessee State)
•
Defensive line coach Deke Adams (previously served in the same role
at South Carolina)
•
Running backs coach Antonio King (previously served as head coach at
Durham Hillside High School)
•
Wide receivers coach Phil McGeoghan (previously served in the same
role for the Miami Dolphins)
•
Secondary coach Rick Smith (previously served as defensive
coordinator and secondary coach on former ECU coach Ruffin McNeill's
staff)
•
Special teams coach Shannon Moore (previously served as special
teams coach at Florida International)
•
Assistant athletics director for football operations Terrell Smith
(previously served as
director of football operations at Duke)
• Director of player
personnel
Ethan Johnson
(previously served as Duke's assistant director of player personnel)
