Coach Scott is entering his 19th season with the Webber International University football program, and his 15th at the helm of the Warriors in 2020. Coach Scott led the Warriors to the inaugural Sun Conference Championship in 2014. Scott is the only original member of the coaching staff from the Warriors inaugural season in 2002. He served as the defensive coordinator for the previous years before taking over as head coach for the 2006 season.
Â
Coach Scott attended Manchester College in Indiana where he played as a defensive back for three years before transferring to Indiana University to complete his education and receive a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education.
Â
Scott’s coaching career began in Indianapolis, Indiana. He coached for three years at Speedway High School, one at Brebeuf Preparatory, and three years at Cathedral High School before relocating to Florida. Coach Scott accepted the position of defensive coordinator at Lake Wales High School where he served six years. The University of South Carolina secured Scott’s services as a graduate assistant coach before Scott made his return to Florida. Lake Wales High School once again attracted Scott back to Polk County for two years before he became part of the inaugural coaching staff at Webber International University.
Â
In Coach Scott’s first year as head coach of the Warriors in 2006, he received the NAIA Independent Coach of the Year and SEAC Coach of the Year.
Most recently in 2018, Coach Scott's Warriors got off to the best start in program history at 4-0 before ultimately finishing 7-3 and tying the program record for wins in a single season. The Warriors also achieved national rankings as high as No. 23 and No. 22 throughout the season.
Starting during the 2017 season, the Warriors moved to compete in the Mid-South Conference, the largest conference in all of college football, and finished third in the Sun Division in 2017 followed by fourth-place finishes in 2018 and 2019.
