This report details the experience of ECU's new offensive line coach:
[Shankweiler] worked under previous ECU head coaches Art Baker (1987-88), Bill Lewis (1989-91) and Steve Logan (1998-2002), with some of the Pirates' most successful campaigns ever coming during his years under Lewis and Logan.
Didn't Shankweiler serve under some of the Pirates' worst campaigns as well?
Look guys, I just put away my pair of rose-colored glasses that I got out for John Thompson's arrival. I think I'm going to retire them for a while.

Matt,
That is a wise move. This program has a looong way to go to be successful again. Hamrick fucked it up so badly, that we need the equivalent to intense chemotherapy.
That said, Shankweiler is a good hire. This staff already has eons more experience than the former staff. John Thompson was purely in over his head. His mistakes were so often and so fundamental, it makes me wonder what it takes to be a college football coach these days.
