East Carolina is eradicating the interim label and selling Blake Harrell to go soccer coach, ESPN reported Monday.
The Pirates are 4-0 since Harrell took over for Mike Houston, who was fired on Oct. 20 after compiling a 27-38 file in five-plus seasons.
Harrell, who was promoted from defensive coordinator, has guided ECU (7-4, 5-2 American Athletic Convention) to wins over Temple, Florida Atlantic, Tulsa and North Texas.
The varsity’s board is anticipated to satisfy within the coming days to formally approve a contract, per the ESPN report.
Harrell, 45, has been on the Pirates teaching workers since 2020. He beforehand was the defensive coordinator with Kennesaw State (2019), linebackers coach (2014-15) and defensive coordinator (2016-2018) at The Citadel and assistant coach at Lenoir-Rhyne (2007-13).
