A North Carolina native looks to pick up where Ruffin McNeill left off in bringing the East Carolina Pirates to glory in the very tough AAC.
For those that are not fans of Duke Blue Devils or ACC football, the name Scottie Montgomery does not immediately bring the same brand recognition of a Brady Hoke or Gene Chizik. While he is not well known nationally, the Duke offensive coordinator is one of the better young assistant coaches in the nation.
Montgomery is a native of Shelby, North Carolina, a city that is just under 300 miles from Greenville.
