Coach hitting his stride

NEW BERN — Scottie Montgomery said he is still processing how much eastern North Carolina loves East Carolina football, but he is having fun with that process.

The new ECU coach has not landed a permanent address in Greenville yet, but the former Duke offensive coordinator and Pittsburgh Steelers position coach is nonetheless rooting himself firmly into ECU, its football players and its fans.

The man hired to replace Ruffin McNeill introduced his new brand of energy and determination to a large crowd of Craven/Pamlico Pirate Club members on Thursday night at the Riverfront Convention Center in New Bern.
