His remarkable tenure led the team to victory as three-time National MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) Champions.

Pough ranks among the top coaches in the 53-year history of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, as well as in the HBCU family. His record includes 15 winning campaigns, three MEAC Coach of the Year honors, two National Coach of the Year awards, and two national HBCU titles.

His teams captured three MEAC titles (2008, 2009 & 2021) outright, shared five

others (2004, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2019), and made four trips to the prestigious FCS playoffs (2008, 2009,

2010 and 2013).

Pough also briefly served as interim athletics director in late 2023.
