Per a source, Pirates running backs coach Antonio King is leaving the East Carolina program, as first-reported by 247Sports.

King joined Scottie Montgomery's staff a year ago.

Prior to coaching at East Carolina, King was one of the top high school coaches in North Carolina winning six straight PAC-6 titles and the 2010 state title.

It's uncertain what King's next move will be.

King's departure means there have been four coaching changes with the Pirates' staff this offseason: defensive line (Deke Adams to Robert Prunty), defensive backs (Rick Smith to Brandon Lynch), wide receivers (Phil McGeoghan to TBA) and running backs (Antonio King to TBA).
