WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ... ABOUT SCOTTIE MONTGOMERY
David Cutcliffe
Head Football Coach, Duke University
“First off, congratulations to Scottie, Ebony and the boys for this incredible opportunity at East Carolina University. We could not be more excited for the entire family to embark on the next chapter of their lives. The question everyone wants to ask is ‘Is he ready to be a head coach?’, and the answer is yes. He understands the importance of detail, preparation and hard work. He’s played and coached at the highest levels of both college and professional football. He’s prepared well for this opportunity. He’s going to be a terrific head coach.”
Jamison Crowder
WR, Washington Redskins (former Duke WR)
"I couldn't be happier for Coach Mo to get this opportunity. I was fortunate to play for him because he taught me so much -- both about football and about life. His guidance and support are two of the biggest reasons I was able to achieve a lifelong dream of playing in the National Football League."
Ed McCaffrey
Teammate with the Denver Broncos (and three-time Super Bowl champion)
Father of Duke WR Max McCaffrey & Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey"Congratulations to Scottie. He has worked really hard to put himself in a position to become a head football coach. He has definitely earned it. There's no doubt that he'll have a whole lot of success at East Carolina."
Ben Roethlisberger
QB, Pittsburgh Steelers
"It's an awesome hire for him personally and East Carolina. Scottie is an extremely energetic coach who was really helpful to our wide receivers at Pittsburgh and was a benefit to the entire Steeler family. He will be a huge asset to ECU."
Thomas Sirk
QB, Duke University
"Coach Montgomery has done so much for me. From the first time I met him, I was just really pleased with who he was as a person. He helped me grow as a quarterback and in the meeting room. My personal relationship grew off the field as well. I was really tight with him. Everything he has done has been about me maturing and growing. Everything that he could possibly do to help me do that, he did. I will forever appreciate everything he has done for me."
Dr. Kevin White
Vice President & Director of Athletics, Duke University
“To be sure, Scottie Montgomery is a home run hire for East Carolina University. Without question, he has been instrumental in our return to relevance on the national college football landscape. Scottie will embrace this next challenge and his combination of tireless work ethic and commitment to excellence will serve as the foundation of the program. In my humble opinion, he has all the intangibles that it takes to be successful, and we look forward to watching his continued growth and development in the coaching profession.”
