Brad Scott (born September 30 1954 in Arcadia, Florida) is the offensive line coach and Associate Head Coach of the Clemson Tigers football team). However, he is best known for his five-year stint as the head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks from 1994 to 1998.
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 losing record in Southeastern Conference play (though they were only eight points from an 8-3 record and a 5-3 record in conference play), Scott's Gamecocks thrashed Clemson 33-7 in the last game of the season. That earned them a berth in the Carquest Bowl where they West Virginia 24-21--the Gamecocks' first bowl win in 102 years of play.
Unfortunately, this didn't last. Scott was only able to put together one more winning season--in 1996, ironically the only time he managed to post even a .500 record in conference play. The bottom fell out 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 season. Shortly afterward, he was hired as tight ends coach by bitter rival Clemson--ironically, coached by Tommy Bowden, younger son of Scott's former boss at Florida State. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2000, a job he held for four seasons. He was demoted to offensive line coach after the 2003 season.
