East Carolina Coaching search update....
Published and broadcast reports have indicated that N.C. State offensive coordinator Matt Canada, former North Carolina interim leader and current James Madison coach Everett Withers and Northern Illinois’ Rod Carey are others that have all been contacted or interviewed, as well. A wild card in the search came to light late Thursday evening when Fox Sports reported that former Michigan coach Brady Hoke has interviewed for the job.

I would think this is a lateral move - at best - for Carey. And the mention of Brady is a head scratcher. |

No, No, No !!!!
Our son is an ECU grad and strongly supports ECU football. This wouldn't be a positive hire for the Pirates! Keep Brady unemployed!

If I was the AD I would make sure Hoke had a very strong staff lined up.

Wait a minute..... McNeill was fired for a 5-7 season in 2015 while also beating instate rivals and going to 4 bowl games in 6 years?  WTF is Lembo and his staff still doing here?? Can we get McNeil to Muncie ASAP?? |

ECU has had good fan support but suffers from lack of name location Greenville is not Orlando. I think the job is just as good as conference rivals such as Cincinnati, Houston, S Florida and Central Florida. A look at the past fifteen years shows ECU has won as much as much as most of the afore mentioned schools. I think this would be a step up for Carey and a much better salary and hope he gets the job if he wants it. Hoke would be back at the same level in salary as San Diego State but he would be in a college town similar to Muncie however with fan interest and support. He would be the big man in a small town with no pro sports nearby. I do not feel that environment would work well for him. I think Carey would do much better their than Hoke.

A lot of ECU fans already upset that Hoke is getting so much consideration. Losing record at BSU, very poor for the most part at Michigan. I think it would not be a good move to hire him to replace a pretty successful coach down there. They seem to be butchering their search (which most are not sure they even needed to do as popular as Ruffin was there) I would think it would be better for a down trodden program to take a chance on Brady.

SMH........I'm sure Brady can put on a good show in an interview. Disappointed for ECU. Well, in three years they can give it another shot.

Looks like it's not Hoke at ECU. They are tweeting that it is Scottie Montgomery, the OC at Duke.
Hoke was front runner but his demands for $$ for his assistants broke the deal. Where have we heard this before?

Did he really do that again? And he doesn't even hire a good staff when he does get money.

Pirate Nation is puzzled by the hire. We shall see.

Looks like Hoke went down with the ship. Good for him. At least it appears he knows he has to pay his assistants to keep them and be successful.

Brady can't bring an existing staff with him and realizes he needs good assistants. He was happy with the job, but knew he needed staff he couldn't cheaply assemble. The guy from Duke maybe brings some staff with him or has coaching colleagues at lower rungs on the ladder to bring in. Often when a head coach moves up he doesn't have to assemble one from scratch, doesn't have to pay big raises to get them to move up with him.
This looks like the norm now in coaching when a HC from a lower budget school moves up, gets the raise brings his good staff with him from the lower budget school but at a modest increase in pay. Then if he does well the assistants get their reward when they move on elsewhere, getting compensation they deserve, but delayed.
This happened here with Lembo, where he gets more money with the raise, but is left struggling when he loses his low paid assistant coaches.
Brady, now moving down, has a problem assembling the same proven team of coaches he had as he moved up.
What a brutal game this business is.

Reports out of ECU indicate Brady was indeed trying to get more money for assistants. Supposedly wanting to bring his brother Jon on board who is making $750k at South Carolina as co-defensive coordinator.
Ga. Southern coach chosen as Tulane's new coach. Brady was somewhat in the running for this position. Two jobs remaining open are BYU (leaning to Navy coach) and now Ga. Southern who would prefer an upper level FCS coach wanting to move up.
