| Biography: |
Brad Scott, the offensive coordinator at Clemson, brings a wealth of coaching experience to the Tigers' staff. In his first season at South Carolina in 1994, Scott led the Gamecocks to their first post-season bowl victory in school history with a 24-21 win over West Virginia at the Carquest Bowl. The win climaxed a 7-5 season for the Gamecocks and for the first time in school history, a Gamecock football team won four road games. The victory that clinched the bowl bid was ironically a triumph at Clemson. Scott posted a 2-1 record against the Tigers in Death Valley.
Before coming to South Carolina, Scott was a member of Bobby Bowden's staff at Florida State for 11 years. While at Florida State, the Seminoles went 10-0-1 in bowls. Scott is 11-2-1 in his career in bowl games as an assistant or head coach.
Scott joined the Seminole staff in 1983 and spent his last four years in Tallahassee as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Those four seasons included Florida State's 1993 national championship season.
Florida State posted a 44-6 (.880) record with Scott as offensive coordinator, which ranked as the most wins by a Division 1-A program during those four years. The Seminoles won four consecutive bowl games and finished ranked no lower than fourth in the nation during that span.
Scott served as the FSU recruiting coordinator for five years (1985-90) where he built a reputation as a top-notch recruiter. Two of his five recruiting classes (1985 and 1989) were ranked number one in the nation, and Scott was responsible for building the nucleus of the 1993 national championship team.
Prior to joining the Seminole program, Scott was the head football coach and athletic director at DeSoto County High School in Arcadia, FL (1982-83). He was tabbed the conference coach of the year in 1982. It marked the second time Scott was a part of the DeSoto program, as he began his football coaching career there in 1979 as an assistant coach.
Scott spent the 1981-82 seasons as a graduate assistant coach on Art Baker's staff at The Citadel. Before arriving in Charleston, he was an assistant coach at Hardee County High School in Wauchula, FL for two seasons (1980-81).
The players Scott has recruited and coached read like a "Who's who" of NFL mainstays. While at Florida State, Scott recruited Deion Sanders, Edgar Bennett, LeRoy Butler, Dexter Carter, Carl Simpson, Clay Shiver, and ironically Chris Weinke, who in 1997 passed up on a professional baseball career to play college football and won the Heisman Trophy in 2000.
Scott is a 1979 graduate of South Florida where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Science Education. He received a Master of Science degree in Athletic Administration from Florida State in 1984. |
