Now in his 14th year with the Pioneer coaching staff, Ernie Blount has been in charge of the team’s defensive backs for the last nine seasons.
In 2009, the LIU Post secondary unit ranked first in the PSAC in pass defense efficiency.
During the 2005 campaign, Blount’s pass-defense unit played a major role in the Pioneers’ overall defense, the best in the Northeast-10 conference and one of the best in all of Division II in 2005. In 2003, the Blount-led Pioneers ranked first nationally in passing defense.
Blount’s flexibility as a mentor saw him begin his LIU Post coaching career with three seasons as a wide receiver coach. Two players who served under his guidance, Eddie Hardaway and Jeremiah Pope, were invited to NFL training camps. This past season, 2007 graduate Jamel Ramsay played for the Preorie Pirates.
In six years of coaching at Baldwin High, Blount helped lead his team to a trio of playoff appearances and also coached in the Nassau County All-Star game.
Blount and his wife, Chavonne, reside in Freeport, and have four children: Ernie, Eric, Elliott and Courtney. He attended Brooklyn College.
