East Carolina is led by veteran head coach Mike Houston, who currently has a 22-24 overall record throughout his five seasons with the Pirates. That said, his past two seasons were both impressive (for ECU standards), going 7-5 in 2021 and finishing 8-5 with a bowl win last season.

East Carolina has only seen two 10-win seasons in program history (most recently in 2013), though they have slowly been climbing the ranks of college football. Right now, ECU is a member of the AAC (American Athletic Conference) alongside teams like Cincinnati and UConn.
