Dukes outshoot ECU |

HARRISONBURG, VA — After taking a
61-60 lead on two free throws by B.J.
Tyson with 2:48 remaining, East
Carolina didn't score the rest of
the way in a 67-61 nonconference
loss at James Madison on Sunday
afternoon. Poor shooting plagued the
Pirates (7-5), who made just 21 of
61 field goal attempts for 34.4

Beam us up, Scottie |

 I never was a big Star Trek fan but the headline phrase ran through my
mind when Scottie Montgomery was named football coach at East Carolina. There was some degree of urgency oftentimes when Captain Kirk asked to
be returned to the Enterprise on the television show.

Ten days after
taking over as East Carolina's
head football coach, Scottie Montgomery took the first
formal steps on Wednesday towards organizing the program to reflect his
blueprint by announcing the hiring of five staff members.
Continuity will play a part in the equation as Montgomery looked to
the staff of former ECU coach Ruffin McNeill to retain Rick Smith as
defensive backs coach. Smith, who served as the Pirates' defensive
coordinator last season, is intimately familiar with the program,
having also been a part of the Skip Holtz coaching regime that
brought two Conference USA championship trophies to Greenville.
The
other hires announced by Montgomery:
• Vanderbilt associate
head coach and linebackers coach Kenwick Thompson headlines the new
staff appointments. Thompson will depart Nashville to served as the
Pirates' defensive coordinator.
• Deke Adams, who served
as South Carolina's defensive line coach since 2013, will assume
those same responsibilities at ECU.
• Miami Dolphins
assistant coach Phil McGeoghan will oversee the Pirates'
pass-catching corps. Before serving as Miami's wide receivers coach
this season, McGeoghan had been an assistant wide receivers coach
for the Dolphins since 2012.
• Terrell Smith,
director of football operations under Duke head coach David
Cutcliffe last season, will be ECU's assistant athletic director for
football operations.
Montgomery is
undoubtedly working the phones from New York City to round out his
staff. The Duke offensive coordinator and associate head coach is in
the Big Apple for his final game with the Blue Devils before taking
up residence in Greenville. Duke will meet Indiana on Saturday in
Yankee Stadium in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.
