Playing football at East Carolina University is more than just going to practice and
getting ready to play on Saturdays. The cover photo of the 1993 East Carolina Foot-
ball Media Guide reveals so much more. A student-athlete has to juggle classes,
study halls, workout sessions, practices, games and other extracurricular activities.
It takes dedication, hard work, desire, organizational skills, leadership skills, com-
munication skills and commitment to succeed as a ''total student-athlete' on the
intercollegiate level. Student-athletes who achieve success in this environment are
"winners" despite the results on any given Saturday. (Photo by Mary North Davis)

WV =YelToMlalceyeentelifons,
In planning your coverage of East Carolina football in 1993, please review
the following items:
Working Credentials
Working space in the East Carolina press box will be allotted on the
following basis: (1) Daily newspapers covering for Sunday publication and
television stations covering for weekend news programs; (2) Sports editors
of North Carolina daily newspapers; (3) Radio personnel for an originating
broadcast; (4) Official school newspaper; (5) Television sports directors
and approved special coverage; (6) Print and TV working photographers.
Weekly press representatives and non-broadcasting radio representatives
may not be accommodated because of space limitations. We ask that you
contact the Sports Information Office in advance to check on space in the
press box. We ask that all media representatives write, on company letter-
head, early to acquire working credentials for East Carolina home games.
If time permits, we will mail your credentials. If not, they will be available
at the Athletic Ticket Office in Minges Coliseum. Remember, no spouses
or family members allowed on B level of the press box.
Photographers
Credentials for sideline photographers will be issued on the basis of cir-
culation, with priority granted to agencies covering the participating schools
on a regular basis.
A limited number of freelance photographer passes are available.
Freelance photographer guidelines include:
1) Requests must be received at least four days prior to the home game.
2) One credential per photographer.
3) Each freelance photographer must submit a contact sheet featuring
game and/or sideline action to the SID office no later than four days fol-
lowing game.
4) Should a freelance photographer request season credentials, the SID
requests at least 5 (five) 8x 10 black and white or color photos from each
game photographed.
5) The SID reserves the right to refuse a credential request from a
freelance photographer if these guidelines are not met.
All photographers who are issued working passes and desire to shoot
at field level may pick up arm bands in the press box. Flip cards will also
be available.
Telephones
The East Carolina Press Box provides five (5) long distance phone lines
for general use by writers. The long distance phones are not located along

telephones are available to all media outlets and are not reserved for any
single outlet. Personal phones may be ordered at individual seats by con-
tacting Carolina Telephone (919-355-4800). Please alert the SID office if
you are ordering a phone so your seat location will correspond with the
work order.

Following the Pirates
Pirate Sports Network
Pirate football may be heard throughout North Carolina as well
as portions of South Carolina and Virginia via the Pirate Sports Net-
work, owned and operated by the East Carolina University Athletics
Department.
All operations of the Pirate Sports Network are coordinated, pro-
duced and directed by Jeff Charles, Director of Electronic Media at
East Carolina.
This year's Network is anchored by WDLX 93.3 FM with its
100,000 watt signal that blankets all of Eastern North Carolina. Key
market affiliates include WCRY 1460 AM Fuquay-Varina (Raleigh),
WGLD 1320 AM (Greensboro), WTOB 1380 AM (Winston-Salem),
WAAK 960 AM (Charlotte-Gastonia), WOJY 1390 AM (Hampton,
Virginia) serving Tidewater. WCZI 98.3 FM and WKQT 103.3 FM are
the Flagship stations.
Carlester Crumpler, ECU's all-time leading rusher, begins his
sixth year as analyst, Steve Gowan hosts the pre-game, half-time,
post-game shows and updates scores, Warren Baker serves as
engineer-producer with Martin Fuerer handling sideline duties.
Spotters include Aaron Beaulieu and Jim Bass. Britt Purtee is the
statistician.
Charles begins his sixth year as ''Voice'"' of the Pirates and his
fourteenth year of college play-by-play. The Piqua, Ohio native
served as the ''Voice"' of Virginia Tech and Furman University and
also broadcast Big Ten play-by-play for the University of Illinois. He
also served as sports director at WSB Atlanta where he handled

In order for East Carolina to improve on its 5-6 mark of 1992, it will
have to improve in three different categories. And, the ECU coaching
staff has addressed those needs at every available opportunity.
First, the defense must improve on its 105th ranking in the final
NCAA statistics. ECU's defense gave up an average of 456.7 yards
per game in 1992. Opponents averaged 253.4 rushing yards per game
last season, which put the Pirate defense 106th in that category.
To address this need, Pirate head coach Steve Logan hired Larry
Coyer as the new ECU defensive coordinator. Coyer comes to East
Carolina with plenty of experience, having been the defensive
coordinator at lowa, Oklahoma State, lowa State, Memphis State and
with the Michigan Panthers of the USFL.
'"'Larry Coyer is the best recruit we had this year,'' said Logan.
Secondly, the Pirate offense must cut down on turnovers. Last
season, ECU quarterbacks threw 27 interceptions. That, along with
10 lost fumbles, helped give opponents 91 points last season.
Opponents started 32 drives in ECU's territory last season.
The experience of a season helps address this need. However,
Marcus Crandell will start at quarterback replacing Michael Anderson,
who has left the program. Also, the addition of running back Jerris
McPhail will help the Pirate offense. The tandem of McPhail and Junior
Smith will see ECU use a two-back set more often in 1993.
Lastly, kicking game must improve. Last year, ECU averaged a
net of 32.4 yards per punt, which was 88th in the NCAA statistics. Also,
Pirate kickers hit only two of seven field goals, none longer than 31
yards, last season. :
To address this need, Logan signed a punter and kicker during
the recruiting period. Bill Wilson, a junior college transfer, averaged
43.44 yards per punt in spring drills. Last season, Wilson played at
NE Oklahoma A&M. Chad Holocomb, a freshman from Smryna, Ga.,
will be asked to handle the kicking chores.
lf East Carolina can improve in these three areas, it looks to be
a much improved team over last season.
The Pirates do have an immense amount of talent returning from
last season. On the offensive side of the ball, the Pirates have seven
starters returning. Running back Junior Smith rushed for 1,037 yards
last season and tight end Carlester Crumpler caught 38 passes for
524 yards in 1992.
On defense, six starters come back including defensive end
Bernard Carter, who already holds school single season (11) and
career (20-1/2) sack records.
The schedule will be tougher. East Carolina opens its season with
a nationally-televised (ESPN) contest against Syracuse on Sept. 9.
The Pirates also have to travel to Washington (Sept. 25), South
Carolina (Oct. 9), Southern Mississippi (Oct. 23), Virginia Tech (Oct.
30), Kentucky (Nov. 13) and Cincinnati (Nov. 20).
In addition, the Pirates host Central Florida (Sept. 18), Memphis
State (Oct. 2), Louisiana Tech (Oct. 16) and Tulsa (Nov. 6).
Four of the final games on the 1993 schedule are on the road.
Offense
QUARTERBACKS: With the loss of Michael Anderson to academics,
redshirt freshman Marcus Crandell will be asked to handle the load.
Anderson, a sophomore last season, completed 222 of 398 passes
for 2,486 yards with 22 touchdowns and 23 interceptions.
Crandell, 6-0, 202, had a fine spring, progressing quicker than
coaches would have thought. In four major spring scrimmages,
Crandell completed 74 of 163 passes for 831 yards with eight
touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
''Marcus has a lot of redeeming qualities,' said Logan. ''He has
a great arm, is quick and mobile, and has great instincts. For a
freshman, he has great leadership ability and his attitude has been
outstanding."'
The Robersonville, N.C. native, was a first-team all-state selection
in 1991 at Roanoke High School.
10
Battling Crandell for the starting position in the spring was Chris
Hester, another redshirt freshman. Hester, 6-3, 190, will be the number
two quarterback in the fall. Coaches like his quick release and drop-
back passing ability.
Orlando Whitaker returns for his junior year and will also see back-
up duty.
Perez Mattison, 6-1,185, from Anderson, S.C., and Dan Gonzalez,
6-3, 205, from Neptune, N.J., will be true freshmen in 1993 and have
bright futures at East Carolina.
Junior Smith
RUNNING BACKS: Position coach Todd Berry is blessed with talent
and depth at the running back spot. Four of his top six players have
college game experience and that does not include the projected
starter at halfback.
The Pirates wiil use more of a two-back set this season than last.
That means Jerris McPhail, a newcomer, will start at halfback,
alongside returning 1,000 yard rusher Junior Smith.
Smith, a junior from Fayetteville, N.C., gained 1,037 yards and
scored nine touchdowns in 1992. He became the first ECU running
back since Anthony Collins in 1979 to gain 1,000 yards in a season.
He'll start at the fullback spot.
At 5-6, 180, Smith is extremely strong and quick. Coaches felt he
had a good spring, improving on blocking and catching the football.
McPhail has drawn the raves of Pirate coaches. The Clinton, N.C.
native, originally signed with Wake Forest before the 1991 season,
but never attended the school. He went to Mount Olive College in
1991-92, but did not play football and redshirted last season at East
Carolina.
The 6-0, 190 sophomore, is a supreme talent. He is capable of
making the big play with his great speed, tremendous hands, football
Savvy and size.
Ronnie Williams, a senior, was moved from wide receiver to
halfback in the spring and will back up McPhail. The Rock Hill, S.C.
native, gives the Pirates someone who can catch the ball well out of
the backfield and someone who doesn't mind mixing it up with the
defense.
Damon Wilson, a junior, will back up Junior Smith at fullback. The
Jacksonville, Fla. native, had a fine spring, showing his hard running
style and good blocking. Wilson is a good short yardage situation
runner.
Carlos Blake, a sophomore, will be the third halfback while Eric
Blanton, a sophomore walk-on, will be the third fullback.

WIDE RECEIVERS: A young and inexperienced group greets coach
Dale Steele for fall camp. Of the top five wide receivers, only two have
seen college game experience.
Going into fall camp, redshirt Allen Williams and senior Morris
Letcher, get the starting nods at wide receiver.
Williams, 6-1, 190, will get the nod at split end. He made the key
catches in the spring, averaging 25.75 yards per grab in four
scrimmages. Coaches feel he has the potential to be one of the best
in ECU history. Williams has great hands and good size.
Letcher comes into the 1993 season with All-America calibre
potential. Last season, he caught 47 passes for 557 yards and five
touchdowns. The Kansas City, Kan. native, also returns kickoffs and
punts. He finished 12th in the nation last season in all-purpose rushing,
averaging 147.82 yards per game.
Letcher has exceptional speed (4.48), good hands and can take
the big hits. Coaches are looking for big things from him.
Derrek Baston, a sophomore, will likely back up both Letcher and
Williams. He made the transition from halfback to wide receiver in the
spring. Batson has big play potential. With his work habits, coaches
feel sure he'll make an impact in 1993.
Lamont Edwards, a walk-on sophomore, and Mitchell Galloway,
a redshirt freshman, will also see backup duty. Edwards missed most
of spring practice to play on the Pirate baseball team. He has good
hands and size for the wide receiver spot.
Coaches think Galloway has tons of potential. He has outstanding
speed (4.45), good hands and is tough. Only a lack of experience
stands in his way to becoming an impact player this season.
Linwood DeBrew, 5-10, 175 from Newport News, Va., and Jason
Nichols, 5-10, 170 from Norcross, Ga., will be true freshmen this
season.

TIGHT ENDS: East Carolina has one of the best tight ends in college
football for the 1993 season.
Carlester Crumpler has already earned several first-team AIll-
America mentions in pre-season publications. And, he's truly
deserving.
The Greenville, N.C. senior, caught 38 passes for 524 yards and
four touchdowns last season. Position coach Doug Martin also feels
that '"Crump'"' had his best spring of his career this year. He catches
the ball well, is an excellent blocker, has good speed and runs well.
For the East Carolina offense to be successful in 1993, Crumpler
will have to be a key component.
Dwight Linville, a sophomore, will back up Crumpler. He moved
to tight end from wide receiver before last season, so coaches feel
comfortable about his receiving abilities. He has put on about 10
pounds from last season.
Scott Richards and Sean Richardson, both redshirt freshmen, are
young back-ups. Richards came to ECU as a quarterback and was
moved to tight end during the spring. Former ECU and current
Minnesota Viking Luke Fisher was another tight end who came to
campus originally as a quarterback.
OFFENSIVE LINE: This group has a mixture of youth and experience.
However, the inexperience shows at several key positions.
The key to the offensive line this season will be the availability of
Terry Tilghman at left tackle. The 6-6, 276 senior is ECU's best
lineman. However, during spring drills, the Mesquite, Texas native,
suffered a knee injury, which sidelined him. Position coach Jeff
Jagodzinski is hopeful that he'll have Tilghman close to 100 percent
by the start of fall drills.
With the loss of Tilghman, several young players could get
additional playing time. Redshirt freshman Ron Suddith, Mike McCall,
John Schlager and Lloyd Cameron could figure in the picture as well
as junior Chad Averett.
Senior Daryl Taylor is the likely starter at right tackle. The
Fayetteville, N.C. native, began his ECU career as an offensive
lineman, but was moved to defense in his redshirt freshman season.
Taylor, 6-3, 290, is probably ECU's best athlete on the offensive line.
He is strong and has good footwork.
The starters on the three interior line spots are all seasoned
veterans. Tom Coleman will start at left guard and Ken Crawford will
hold down the right guard spot. Derrick Leaphart starts for the second
straight season at center.
Coleman, 6-3, 280, had the best spring of his ECU career in 1993.
The senior is a good run blocker and is quick off the ball. He'll be
backed up by junior Reuben Jones, who missed last season coming
off a knee injury.
Crawford, 6-5, 278, is a three year starter on the offensive line.
Coaches like his pass blocking technique and he has improved his
strength and speed.. Senior Greg Smith is the likely backup for
Crawford at right guard.
Leaphart, 6-2, 310, can be as good as he wants to be at center.
He was pushed in the spring by sophomore Kevin Wiggins. ECU
coaches feel the competition at the position will be good for both
players.
Andy Dulioki, Shane McPherson and Brian Nagy are true freshmen
this season and have bright futures in the Pirate football program.
Defense
DEFENSIVE LINE: Youth and experience meet again, this time with
the defensive line. Coach Theo Lemon's defensive line has plenty of
athletic skills, but will need to take advantage of repetitions and game
experience to mature.
Two veterans return to start at the noseguard and defensive tackle
positions. Senior Derek Taylor will start at noseguard and junior Walter
Se

Scott starts at defensive tackle.
Taylor, 6-0, 275, had a great spring and will be the nucleus of the
defensive line. Coaches like his technique and his work ethic. He has
good strength and speed for the position. Taylor had 27 tackles in 1992.
Scott, 6-3, 253, moved from defensive end in the spring and is an
outstanding athlete. Last season, Scott had 26 tackles from his end
spot.
A redshirt freshman, Lamont Burns, will start at the defensive end
position. The Greensboro, N.C. native, began the spring at outside
linebacker but was moved to defensive end. At 6-5, 245, Burns has
good physical skills to go along with his aggressive attitude. He could
be a post-season honors candidate before his Pirate football career
iS over.
Seniors Jeff Cooke and Dealton Cotton will play reserve roles on
the defensive line. Both have started at times during their ECU careers.
Cooke, 6-1, 277, had 29 tackles last season. Cotton, 6-0, 274, had 19
stops last season. Sophomore Charles Boothe, 6-6, 248, will back up
Burns at defensive end. Coaches feel that the sky is the limit with
Boothe. They like his athletic skills and size.
Daniel Russ, Jeff Griffin and junior college transfer Sean Turner
will play reserve roles on the defensive line. Turner was injured during
spring drills, so coaches could not get a good look at him. He'll need
to take advantage of the repetitions in fall camp in order to get playing
time.
Chris Aivazoglou and John Krawczyk come into the program in the
fall and could make a contribution.
Bernard Carter
12
Morris Foreman
OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS: The two starters at this position have the
skill and experience to be a major force on the defensive side of the
football. Bernard Carter will be the starter at the rush end and Eric
Meyers starts at the drop end.
Carter, 6-3, 248, has been mentioned in several pre-season
publications as one of the ten best defensive ends in college football.
Position coach Chuck Pagano thinks Carter is the "'total package'"'
- he's smart, has great physical abilities, plays hard, versatile, a
leader and a good student.
The Tallahassee, Fla. senior, already holds school records for sacks
in a single season (11 last season) and in a career (20-1/2).
Myers, 6-4, 248, began the spring as an inside linebacker and was
moved to the outside late in the spring. He played the position last
season before injuring a knee against South Carolina. The Allen Park,
Mich. native, was able to get an injury redshirt and returns for his senior
campaign in 1993.
Coaches feel that Myers is an outstanding athlete and is a very
physical player. He showed no effects of the knee injury during spring
practice.
Freshman walk-on Isiah Owens had a good spring and could see
action as a reserve. Owens served in the military for several years
before coming to East Carolina. Coaches like his attitude and athletic
skills and feel he could be a major contributor during his Pirate football
career.
Pat Hurley, Kevin Stormer and Brian Williams could also make
contributions this season.
Willie Brookins and Marcus Jones are junior college transfers that,
coaches are hopeful, can make a contribution in the fall.

Outlook
INSIDE LINEBACKERS: This may be the youngest position group on
the ECU football squad and that worries position coach Bob Babich.
Going into fall camp, Mark Libiano, a true sophomore and Reggie
Robinson, a walk-on senior, are the starters at the inside linebacker
spots.
Libiano, 6-3, 225, was originally set to redshirt last season until
injuries to other linebackers forced him to play. He played in the final
six games of the season, and finished with 27 tackles. The Easton,
Pa. native, has a nose for the football and a lot of potential.
Robinson had a good spring, earning defensive MVP honors in the
spring game with 10 tackles. The Greensboro, N.C. native, is smart
and a good athlete. He lacks game experience, but really understands
the defensive scheme.
Leonard Graham, a junior, will play a back-up role. He missed most
of spring with an ankle injury.
Mike Sweat, a junior college transfer, will also see plenty of playing
time at inside linebacker. Coaches like his attitude, his football smarts
and fundamentals.
Brad Bunch, a redshirt freshman, could also see some playing time
in the fall.
True freshmen Marvin Burke and Lorenzo West could see
immediate action because of the lack of depth and experience at this
position.
SECONDARY: This group is one of the deepest on the squad with
eight players who have seen game experience. Four of the defensive
backs earned game experience last season as freshmen.
Going into fall camp, senior Travis Render and sophomore
Emmanuel McDaniel are the projected starters at the corners and
sophomores Morris Foreman and Hank Cooper are the likely starters
at the safeties.
Render, 5-9, 182, is a good cover man with good athletic skills. Last
season, he started all 11 games and recorded 47 tackles.
McDaniel, 5-9, 168, has good speed and quickness. Position coach
Chris Thurmond was pleased with his performance in the spring.
McDaniel moved from the number three fieldside corner to the number
one spot during the spring.
Foreman, 6-1, 210, can deliver the big hit from the strong safety
position. The Farmville, N.C. native, is a fine athlete and good run
support player. He can also return kickoffs and punts.
Cooper, 6-0, 184, has good range and is probably the best open
field tackler on the defensive unit. Last season, he had 43 total tackles
and five pass deflections.
Sophomore David Crumbie and seniors Greg Floyd and Robert
Tate will see back-up duty at the cornerback spots. Tate is the fastest
player (4.40) and perhaps the best athlete on the squad. Floyd is a
two-year starter at cornerback who could push for a starting position
in pre-fall camp. Crumbie had 17 tackles last season in a reserve role.
Daren Hart could see playing time at cornerback and special teams.
Senior Garrett Beasley and freshmen David Hart and E.J.
Gunthrope will provide depth at the saftey spots. Beasley, 6-0, 204,
is a fine run support and goal line defender. Hart and Gunthrope have
bright futures in the Pirate football program and will see playing time
this season.
Junior college transfer Columbus Grice will also add depth to the
defensive backfield.
Specialists
KICKER: Stephen Padgett held the placekicking duties during spring
drills, but newcomer Chad Holcomb will battle him for the starting
position. Padgett has range from inside 35 yards on field goals. His
average range for kickoffs is the 5 yard line. Holcomb has hit a
49-yarder in high school and had 80 percent of his kickoffs go into
the end zone. Holcomb is ECU's first recruited scholarship kicker since
1989.
13
PUNTER: Pirate coach Steve Logan raves about junior college transfer
Bill Wilson. During spring drills, the Sallisaw, Okla. native, averaged
43.44 yards per punt on 41 attempts. Wilson is also adept at hitting
the coffin-corner punt and has good hand time.
RETURN SPECIALISTS: Morris Letcher will again handle most of the
returns. The senior from Kansas City, Kan., finished 15th in punt
returns and 12th in all-purpose rushing in the nation last season.
Sophomore Morris Foreman can also return punts as can sophomore
Jerris McPhail. Redshirt freshman Mitchell Galloway and McPhail may
see action returning kickoffs.
SNAPPER/HOLDER: Michael Jacobs, who punted last season, will
be snapping for punts in 1993. Coaches were very impressed with his
attitude and effort in becoming the regular snapper. Brian Williams
will snap for placement kicks with Jacobs holding for those attempts.
David Crumbie

Pirate Football Notes
For the second straight season, East Carolina will have a
nationally-televised game from Ficklen Stadium. On Sept. 9, the
Pirates will host Syracuse on ESPN. Last season, ESPN aired
ECU's game against Southern Mississippi from Ficklen Stadium.
The Golden Eagles won that game, 38-21.
Last season's contest was the first-ever aired nationally from
Ficklen Stadium. The Syracuse game will mark the fourth time in
the last three seasons that ECU has been on ESPN. In 1991, the
Pirates were on the network against Illinois and North Carolina
State.
e ECU e
East Carolina will have one other game on live television
during the 1993 season. The Pirate Sports Television Network will
produce the Oct. 2 game against Memphis State. Kickoff is set for
12:08 p.m.
e ECU
East Carolina will take its longest road trip ever when the
Pirates play at Washington on Sept. 25. It will be ECU's first game
ever against a Pacific-10 Conference opponent.
The previous long trip for the Pirates had been to West Texas
State in 1970.
e ECU e
East Carolina ranked 61st among NCAA Division I-A programs
in attendance average last season. The Pirates averaged 32,814
fans per game in 1992, an increase of 772 per game from 1991.
Of the top 70 schools in average attendance, 35 of those had
increased attendances from 1991.
However, ECU filled Ficklen Stadium to an average of 93.7
percent of capacity each home date.
�e ECU e
Of the early pre-season polls, East Carolina will play two
schools that are ranked in the top 20.
In the Football Writers Association of America poll, Syracuse
is ranked 10th and Washington is ranked 12th. In The Sporting
News poll, Syracuse is fourth and Washington 11th. In NCAA
Football Preview, Washington is 8th and Syracuse is 9th.
e ECU e
One Pirate was taken in the 1993 National Football League
draft. Offensive tackle Tom Scott was taken in the sixth round by
the Cincinnati Bengals. Scott was the 148th pick of the draft.
Scott's selection marked the fourth straight year that East
Carolina has had at least one player selected in the NFL draft.
�e ECU e
ECU has fielded 57 teams during the school's 61 years of
playing collegiate football. During that span, the overall record for
Pirate football is 276-256-11, a 51.8 winning percentage. The
Pirates have won five games or more four straight seasons, the
first time that has been done at the school since 1976-79.
14
e ECU e
In 1992, only two true freshmen saw action on the gridiron.
Linebacker Mark Libiano and defensive back Morris Foreman
were the only true freshmen to see playing time last season. Both
are expected to start and play key roles on the Pirate defense this
season.
e ECU e
East Carolina now has scored in its last 53 games. The last
time the Pirates were shut out was Sept. 17, 1988 against South
Carolina (0-17). The longest such streak in ECU history is 110
games between 1971 and 1981.
� ECU e
For a football program to have two starting linebackers (Robert
Jones and Vinsen Smith) for the Super Bowl Champion Dallas
Cowboys, the Pirate defense has not been that successful. And,
Larry Coyer will try to change that.
The new defensive coordinator came to East Carolina from
Ohio State before spring practice. Steve Logan feels that Coyer
can do the job.
"Larry Coyer is the best recruit | had this year,' Logan has
said.
Since 1984, the highest the ECU has ranked in the NCAA
statistics is 71st for total defensive yardage and 55th for points
allowed per game.
Last season, East Carolina finished 105 in total defense and
101 in scoring defense in the NCAA statistics.
� ECU e
Several walk-ons had great springs and could see playing
time in the fall. They include freshman Isaih Owens (Marion, S.C.)
at defensive end, sophomore running back Eric Blanton
(Warwick, N.Y.), senior linebacker Reggie Robinson
(Greensboro, N.C.), sophomore center Kevin Wiggins (Pink Hill,
N.C.) and sophomore wide receiver Lamont Edwards (Clinton,
Nie)
� ECU
The difference between an 11-1 record in 1991 and a 5-6
record in 1992. Try turnovers.
During ECU's top 10 national ranking run in 1991, the Pirates
had 10 interceptions and six fumbles for a total of 16 turnovers.
Off of those turnovers, opponents scored 55 points.
Last season, Pirate quarterbacks threw 27 interceptions and
lost 10 fumbles for a total of 37 turnovers. Off of those turnovers,
opponents scored 91 points.

The practice fields are the
classroom. Ficklen Stadium is
the final exam. Steve Logan is
the teacher.
It's the way the second-year
East Carolina head coach
prefers it.
''When | sat down and
asked myself what | enjoyed
most about coaching,'' said
Logan, "it was the teaching
that | enjoyed most and if
teaching is what | enjoy then |
would be teaching on Saturday as well.''
If you spent time watching Logan on the sidelines, you'll get
a feel how the 40-year-old coach uses Saturdays as another
teaching tool.
He'll take one of his young quarterbacks on the sidelines and
discuss different plans, options and ideas. It's a two-way
conversation and the best way for a student-athlete to know
what he's doing right and what's he's doing wrong.
'He doesn't pressure you, he doesn't yell at you, but he
makes sure you understand what you did wrong,"' said Jeff
Blake, former Pirate and current New York Jet quarterback.
''Steve Logan is the right person to lead
this program and Steve's offensive scheme will
become this program's signature.''
DAVE HART, JR., Director of Athletics, East Carolina
''He makes sure you know everything about the game. He
taught me how to keep my composure, how to be a leader."'
The teaching and leadership roles continue also off the
playing and practice fields. The Lawton, Okla. native, feels that
if student-athletes are going to be the best they are going to be,
it requires self-discipline, dedication and hard work.
Members of the football squad are told three things by Logan
about playing football at East Carolina: 1) if you go to class and
practice hard, you will play; 2) have fun playing the game of
football, and; 3) play as hard as possible on every play and the
wins and losses will take care of themselves.
"| like to see the responsibility for the little things fall upon
the players rather than for me telling them to do it,'' said Logan.
'We never talk to our student-athletes about winning and
losing - never,'' continues Logan. ''We talk to them about
showing up, playing every play as hard as they can play it and
play to the last play of the game. We don't care who it is we're
playing. We give a ton of respect to whoever that may be, home
or on the road."'
Logan developed much of his philosophy through the
influence of several head coaches. He worked on the staff of
56
current Ohio State coach John Cooper at Tulsa, with current
Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson at Oklahoma State, with
Bill McCartney at Colorado and with Bill Lewis at ECU.
When Lewis resigned to take the head coaching position at
Georgia Tech, ECU Director of Athletics Dave Hart, Jr. did not
have far to look for the school's 17th head football coach.
"It became obvious to me through conversations with Steve
that he was the best man for the job,'' said Hart. 'Steve Logan
is the right person to lead this program and Steve's offensive
scheme will become this program's signature."'
Logan is mostly credited with the development of the Pirate
offensive attack during the 1990-91 seasons when he was
ECU's offensive coordinator. In 1991, East Carolina finished the
season with an 11-1 record and reached a Top Ten national
ranking.
During the 1990-91 seasons, Logan coached quarterback
Jeff Blake. The Sanford, Fla. native broke or tied 32 school
records before leaving ECU, including most passing yards in a
game, season and career. He was named the 1991 ECAC Player
of the Year.
In 1992, it was Michael Anderson's turn to rewrite ECU
record books. The Decatur, Ga., native broke or tied 12 school
records last season, including all of the school's sophomore
records.
Logan continues to monitor the offensive side of the football
closely. He still coaches the quarterbacks but also makes his
way around the practice field to observe his coaches in action.
'What we're doing here in the passing game and with our
offense, | feel, is on the cutting edge,'' said Logan. ''! believe our

offense is unlimited on how successful we can be. We just have
to work hard and keep teaching the ideals that will make our
program succeed."
Last season, the Pirates finished 10th in the nation in passing
offense, averaging 280.45 yards per game. ECU also was 18th
in total offense, averaging 421.09 yards per game.
Logan came to ECU in 1989 after serving as quarterback
coach at Mississippi State for two seasons. During his first
season at ECU, he coached the running backs.
His coaching career started in 1975 as an assistant coach at
Union High School in Tulsa, Okla. He began in the collegiate
coaching ranks in 1980 as a tight ends coach at Oklahoma State
under current Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson and
moved to Hutchinson Junior College the following year.
'| had to pull myself up by the bootstraps in this profession,"'
said Logan. "I've been working for this moment 18-20 years.
And I'm very ready."'
Preparing Logan for his first major college head coaching job
was several other stops along the way.
In 1983, he became offensive coordinator at Tulsa under
John Cooper, who is currently head coach at Ohio State. While
at Tulsa, Logan coached Steve Gage, who played three seasons
with the Washington Redskins.
Logan left Tulsa for Colorado in 1985 and coached the
Buffalo running backs for two seasons before going to
Mississippi State, where he coached the Bulldog quarterbacks.
The year before Logan went to Colorado as running backs
coach, the Buffaloes were 1-10. In 1985, Logan's first season at
CU, the Buffaloes were 7-5, playing Washington in the Freedom
oT
Bowl. The following season, Colorado went 6-6, playing Baylor
in the Bluebonnet Bowl.
Many players that Logan recruited to Colorado were on the
1990 squad, which finished 11-1-1 and won a share of the
national championship.
While at Hutchinson Junior College, Logan was the Jayhawk
Conference Coach of the Year in 1982.
While at Tulsa, Logan did not play football and had plans to
get a doctorate degree and become a college professor.
"| realized | wasn't going to the NFL," said Logan. ''But, |
had to teach in the public schools before going to graduate
school. There (Union High School) they wanted me to coach
football. | got addicted."'
During the next five years, Logan became a high school
assistant coach while he completed all but six hours of credits
towards his masters degree.
Leaving Union High School, Logan coached tight ends at
Oklahoma State for Jimmy Johnson. He became hooked on the
college game.
"| loved working with the kids and having an impact on their
decisions in and outside football,' said Logan. ''That, and the
intrigue of competitive strategy, really hooked me."'
And, since he began coaching in the college ranks, Logan
has wanted to be a head coach. And, on Jan. 11, 1992, his
dreams were realized.
Logan, an avid tennis player, and his wife, Laura, are the
proud parents of two sons - Vincent (11) and Nathanael (9).
