Head coach Scottie Montgomery has added a veteran assistant with SEC experience to his East Carolina coaching staff, announcing Wednesday that Don Mahoney has been hired as his new offensive line coach.
From 2013-16, Mahoney served as the line coach for the Tennessee Volunteers. The longtime assistant spent the 2017 season at a Div. II program in West Virginia.
“Don’s wealth of experience and expertise is synonymous with a foundation we need to have in place on the offensive side of the ball here,” a statement from Montgomery said. “His background features a strong association of development and depth, two qualities which are crucial to the growth, balance and success of our unit.”
Prior to his time on Rocky Top, Mahoney was the line coach for three years at Cincinnati (2010-12). He also coached the line during stops at Central Michigan (2007-09) and Tulane (1999-2006).
