East Carolina
head football coach Scottie Montgomery took the next step in putting
together his first-year staff on Saturday, announcing the hiring of one
of Conference USA's top special teams coordinators.
Shannon Moore will coach the Pirates' punt, field goal, kickoff,
return and coverage units after serving in that same role at Florida
International the last two years.
Moore elevated the performance of the Golden Panthers special teams
during his tenure in Miami, achieving league-leading statistics in
punt return average, blocked kicks and fewest blocked kicks allowed.
His
2015 orchestration of the various aspects of FIU's special teams
efforts were reflected in a ranking of No. 14 nationally in overall
efficiency.
"Shannon's innovative
and fundamentally-sound approach has translated into success for an
area we consider to be an extremely integral part of our program,"
Montgomery said in a news release. "His thoroughness in preparation,
game-planning and coaching all phases of special teams is a
contagious quality that is quite visible in person and in the
results he's achieved."
Prior to joining the
Golden Panthers, Moore spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at
South Dakota State.
Moore joins six previously-announced staff hires since Montgomery's
appointment to succeed Ruffin McNeill as head coach of the Pirates:
• Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach
Tony Petersen (previously
served in that same capacity at Louisiana Tech)
•
Defensive coordinator
Kenwick Thompson (previously served as
Vanderbilt associate head coach
and linebackers coach)
•
Defensive line coach Deke Adams (previously served in the same role
at South Carolina)
•
Wide receivers coach Phil McGeoghan (previously served in the same
role for the Miami Dolphins)
•
Secondary coach Rick Smith (previously served as defensive
coordinator and secondary coach on former ECU coach Ruffin McNeill's
staff)
•
Assistant athletics director for football operations Terrell Smith
(previously served as
director of football operations at Duke)
The
Brian Bailey Show airs on Pirate
Radio 1250 on Mondays at 6:30 p.m.
