East Carolina Football Acquires Prominent QB Kaidon After firing Head Coach
East Carolina football is aiming to revitalize its approach ahead of a key matchup against Temple. Following the firing of head coach Mike Houston on October 20, the program is making offensive changes. After a lackluster performance against Army, the Pirates will start redshirt sophomore Katin Houser at quarterback in Week 9, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Under interim head coach Blake Harrell, the team is infused with renewed energy and optimism about taking control of their games. Desperate for a win, the Pirates are determined to show they are a stronger team than the 2-5 Temple as they prepare for Saturday’s showdown.

Houser will get a chance to earn the role for the remainder of the season, and perhaps the Pirates can start to turn the tide with a less daunting slate of upcoming games against FAU and Tulsa.
Katin Houser will start for East Carolina football in Week 9
Houser has played in three games for East Carolina this season, completing 38 of 69 passes for 416 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Following a strong performance against Army in Week 8, the remaining coaching staff felt encouraged to give him a chance to shine in a more favorable situation.
