Brad Scott (American football)

Brad Scott (born September 30, 1954) is a former American football coach and player. 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. His son, Jeff Scott, is currently the co-offensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator, and wide receivers coach at Clemson.

Career

Scott came to South Carolina after 11 years as an assistant at Florida State under Bobby Bowden, the last four as offensive coordinator. While at Florida State, he helped develop Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward, as well as the "Fast Break" offense that netted the Seminoles a national title in 1993.

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. It was the first bowl win in the program's 102-year history—one of the longest droughts in the country at the time.

AFL career

Hawthorn

Scott was recruited to Hawthorn in the 1994 AFL Draft at pick 60, without playing a game, he was delisted and then re-drafted by Hawthorn in the 1996 Draft, where he won the reserves best-and-fairest. Making his senior debut in 1997, Brad played all 22 games and was seen as a very solid contributor, but was traded at the end of that season to the Brisbane Lions, enabling him to play in the same side as his brother Chris.

Brisbane Lions

Scott was a very solid contributor over a number of years with the Lions and was seen as a fearless figure in defence. While defiant, Scott battled numerous injuries including one incurred during his milestone 150th game late in 2005.

Like his brother, Scott was renowned for being one of the hardest players in the league. They were both integral members of the Lions' first two premierships in 2001 and 2002.
