The reaction is pouring in from across the country at the shocking dismissal of Ruffin McNeill as ECU's head football coach.

Ruffin McNeill is one of best ppl in FB. Won 18 games in 2013-14. Lost starting QB for yr. Goes 5-7 & alma mater fires him. That's shitty. — Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 4, 2015





Ruffin McNeill won 10 games in 2013 (1st time #ECU won that many games in 22 YRS!) Went 13-12 last 2 yrs and they fired him?! WTF — Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 4, 2015





I would be SHOCKED if Lincoln Riley even would answer the phone if #ECU calls him. He and Ruffin McNeill have a great bond. — Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 4, 2015





I love ECU but if this news is true about Ruff being fired, I'm deeply upset about this decision and want to hear an explanation — shane carden (@Capn_Carden5) December 4, 2015





I am a better person because I played for @RuffinMcNeill and I think I can speak for the rest of my teammates. Love you coach — shane carden (@Capn_Carden5) December 4, 2015





If it wasn't for Ruff I wouldn't of went to ECU — Justin Hardy (@FreakMagic2) December 4, 2015





Football players gonna be in a uproar we all came here because of @RuffinMcNeill — John Jacobs III (@JohnTJacobsIII) December 4, 2015





Ask any player on this team and they will tell you the #1 reason they came here was because of @RuffinMcNeill! — Garrett McGhin (@THEMANGMAC) December 4, 2015





Unless there's something extenuating that we don't know about, the Ruffin McNeill firing is perplexing. — Marty Smith (@MartySmithESPN) December 4, 2015





We love you @RuffinMcNeill — Patrick Green #13 (@PG13___) December 4, 2015





I love ECU to death but I might be out.. — Trevon Brown #âƒ£8âƒ£8âƒ£ (@Legendary_ECU88) December 4, 2015





Shocked about McNeill. ECU lost starting QB before year, nearly won at UF, beat Va. Tech. Hope ECU has a verbal agreement w/Nick Saban — Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) December 4, 2015





By far, the greatest loss we've had all year. — Isaiah Jones (@ZayJones7) December 4, 2015
