BREAKING NEWS: ECU Pirate Football Team Resumes Training With A New Coach For Homecoming Match.

This weekend, the ECU football game against Temple is attracting alumni and Pirate fans in Greenville as it is homecoming.

The upcoming game will mark the Pirates’ first match following Mike Houston’s dismissal. The Pirates have a record of 3-4 overall and 1-2 in conference games, aiming to even out their stats with a win in this conference match during homecoming.

Fans discussed their hopes for the upcoming weekend on Friday.

Troy Dreyfus stated that college sports have become a lucrative industry, and as a coach in that position, winning is crucial. “That’s ultimately what it boils down to – wins and losses.” Unfortunately, I’m disappointed that it didn’t work out for him, but East Carolina is aiming to make positive progress and turn things around in the future.

Five years ago, Houston hired Defensive Coordinator Blake Harrell as the interim head coach for the Pirates.
