Career
He was most recently the associate head coach and offensive line coach for the Clemson Tigers football team Previously, from 1994 to 1998, he was the head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks. Scott came to South Carolina after 11 years as an assistant at Florida State under Bobby Bowden, the last four as offensive coordinator.
In his first year at South Carolina, he led the Gamecocks to a 6–5 regular season.
Despite a 4–4 record in Southeastern Conference play, Scott"s Gamecocks routed Clemson 33–7 in the last game of the season. That earned them a berth in the Carquest Bowl, where they beat West Virginia 24–21.
Scott"s tenure at South Carolina would prove to be short-lived, as he was only able to put together one more winning season, in 1996—only the second year he managed a.500 record in conference play. In 1998, after defeating Ball State to open the season, the Gamecocks lost 10 games in a row to finish 1–10, the worst record in school history at the time.
Scott was fired after the 1998 season.
Scott was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2001, a job he held for three seasons. Scott was then demoted to offensive line coach after the 2003 season.
