Former Pirate defensive back and assistant coach Ruffin McNeill is back home. McNeill, who starred as a four-year letterman in the late 1970s and most recently served on the Texas Tech staff for the last 10 seasons, has been appointed head football coach at East Carolina University.
With his hiring, McNeill becomes ECU’s 20th head football coach in the school’s history and he will be introduced to the media at an 11:00 a.m. press conference this morning.
