The rout was the first time ECU has not scored a touchdown in an AAC game. The Pirates joined the league in 2014. ECU fell to 0-5 against the Owls in AAC play. Temple had a 470-196 advantage in total yardage, the first time ECU has not led that stat this season.
I paid a visit to their chat site and there are some unhappy campers over there. Canât blame them.
It has been more than seven months since former ECU athletic director Jeff Compher was bought out of his contract, and it appears the school is still a bit away from finding his replacement. With the ECU athletics department sitting at a deficit of $3,064,234 as of July 1, the timing to fire Montgomery now becomes very difficult as Montgomery would be owed a little more than $1.2 million, according to USA Today, if he was bought out.
With the resignation of ECU womenâs basketball coach Heather Macy, the athletic department, which currently doesnât have a leader, must now find and hire a new head coach making the situation in the department even more murky. Given the lack of funds coming in from the football team, with less than 30,000 fans in the stands for ECUâs game against the University of Houston on Oct. 13, itâs becoming even more difficult to find the funds to hire a new football coach.
