Ruffin McNeil is OG




Quote:Also notice how McNeil isn't afraid to mince words when it comes to welcoming a recruit to the ECU family. That's why players love to play for him and coaches love working under him.

He may not be the best speaker, but his words certainly mean a lot. As much as I want him to succeed being an ECU fan, I also want to see he succeed as a coach because of the kind of person he is.

I know a lot of fans call for his head annually... but I really like Coach Ruff, and we couldn't have a better man at the helm. His love for ECU and everyone associated with it is a rare quality these days... especially in an era of coaching where loyalty is nearly non-existant.

Not many men can say "I love you" to other men, and it be sincere. That is a trait of Ruff, and it pays off. He is their second father, while the other coaches are their uncles. Gotta love the family aspect of it.

I don't get into recruiting because it is so full of false hope and disappointment, but I am thrilled about Isaiah Jones coming to East Carolina. Loved seeing Ruff talking to him on the phone in that clip.

Players seem to love him...I'll never forget that little dance they did at "Lesion" Field prior to a kickoff after taking the lead on UAB. I hope he has a long and lucrative career at East Carolina.

Gotta love the legacy player. I don't think we were on the radar, but it would have been something to have Emory Blake here.

Schools that talk about all of their 3, 4, 5 star players with no championships to show will only be successful if their players can get quality coaching......Coach McNeil is a good example of why ECU will continue to do well with much less resources than others,.....in other words players have to be coached up!
