Me too re the likability factor; Coach Mo seems like a very decent man, but unless he can find at least 3 more wins on the runway ahead (Memphis, Tulane and UConn??), I don't see how the university can keep him. Saturday was far more about HOW they lost than THAT they lost. This kind of thing tends to feed on itself, too; if they end up releasing him at season's end, then recruiting takes a significant hit. Heck, it's probably already getting shaky.

This is completely unacceptable. There are obviously deficiencies that seem to comlntinually rear their ugly heads. Lack of proper adjustments, lack of dixlscipline, etc. I like Montgomery, personally, but he is NOT getting it done. Something has to change. How much longer are we going to continue to fall short?

"Travesty" and "embarrassment" are the first two words out of the gate. I appreciate Coach telling it like it is, though he probably has no other practical alternative. Just when his seat maybe, possibly started to cool down a degree or two, today it's probably hotter than ever. ...problems all around for the Pirates, but one I hear little discussed is team speed. As an example, ECU is 96th (out of 129) in average kickoff return yardage. Mercy.

We lost to A & T. How can anyone really be surprised. Need a coach.

Very discouraging result for the fans, especially the lack of effort and execution. The program took a step back in the wrong direction Saturday.

Great news, Lite Brite:), always looking at the soccer results, Go Lady Pirates! and glad to see Coach Mo get rewarded for making one of those tough decisions in punting that ball late in the 4th. Good call Coach, I was there with him either way he went. Go Pirates!

Had hoped we had a blow out win against ODU, but happy for a win and really pleased with our players. I believe we are going to be a good team. Happy I decided to keep my season tickets. GGOOO.......PPIRATES!!!

Good observation and I agree with you. We have shown that we can play solid ball. Now we need to show that we can beat Temple across the board.

Sounds like a great win for ECU. I hope we can hang on to him. GGOO....PPIRATES!!

"...the call could have gone either way." ...at BEST, to be honest; the call was effectively game deciding. It was a mental/inexperience mistake by Herring. In D1, when you throw the ball way, you must throw it AWAY; the defensive backs are just far, far too athletic to leave throwaways on the margin.

That was a classic 50/50 call by Coach; the lady I was with was one of the boo birds, but Pirates defense had their mojo on, and Coach was relying on it, as I argued at the time. (I was also thinking of that OT game vs. Tulane last year, when they couldn't get the 1 yard they needed to stay alive, though admittedly this year's edition on the ground is light years beyond last year's.) The d boys vindicated Coach's decision in a very big way. ...need to get Ahlers comfortable w/ the pass; for now, the platooning is fine. ...love the way the run game is developing; that gives Herring FAR more latitude. That they can pass is fully established; they MUST be able to run too in order to win. Being double digit dogs to Temple, even away, only shows that the wise guys aren't so wise; it's nothing short of insulting, but at the same time should be an excellent practice motivator this week.

Atrocious attitude by the Tech admin and its message board fans. Could care less about this series continuing down the road.

Bravo!! By the actions of all D1 schools in the Carolinas and Virginia this weekend Tech looked pretty ridiculous in their actions and comments. Also Tech didn’t look too “waterproof” when James Summers ran all over them in the rain in Greenville in 2015. Go Pirates

All to credit to Coach and his Pirates for answering the bell under "must win" circumstances. Pirates ability to run and play stout defense were the most promising signs.

There are improvements that need to be made but despite the disappointing loss, the team looked better on defense. A&T deserves more credit than we give them as they make plays when they need them and find ways to win close games. Hopefully this loss will motivate rather than define this team. I hope to see an inspired performance Saturday and fans who maintain their sanity.
