Garrett Riley responds to ECU coaching rumors

---

CBS Sports and 247Sports recently mentioned Clemson offensive coordinator Garrett Riley as a potential candidate for the ECU coaching gig.

ECU is searching for a new head coach after firing Mike Houston after losing to Army in Week 8.

A reporter asked Riley on Wednesday if he had heard that his name was being floated around for the East Carolina job.

“No, I mean, I’m always in a rabbit hole," Riley said. "That’s why I was a couple of minutes late here, doing some red zone and goal line (watching film). I mean, I know chatter will happen at times. But, man, I’m where my feet are.”

Riley's name is not totally random regarding ECU.

He began his coaching career there as a grad assistant and also served as their wide receiver coach.
