After helping head coach Bobby Wilder and his team to a 9-2 overall mark in the inaugural campaign for Old Dominion in 2009, Scott was among the four finalists for FootballScoop.com's D-1AA Coordinator of the Year. Under Scott's leadership in the inaugural campaign, the ODU offense finished third nationally in scoring offense averaging 35 points per contest and 18th nationally in total offense averaging just under 400 yards per game. Additionally, the Monarchs ranked second nationally in sacks allowed and ninth among all FCS schools in fewest turnovers on the year with 14. ODU's offensive efforts saw the Monarchs score 28 touchdowns in 39 red zone opportunities. Year number two saw Old Dominion collect an 8-3 mark in its final season of playing independent football before moving to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), considered the toughest FCS conference in the nation. In 2010, the Monarchs ranked eighth in the country in scoring offense fueled by quarterback and Walter Payton Award Watch List member Thomas DeMarco who finished seventh in the nation in total offense. The Monarch offense averaged 33.55 points per game. Prior to joining the Monarch coaching staff, Scott had served as recruiting coordinator, offensive line, running back and tight ends coach at Maine since 2003. In his first season as the offensive line coach, he helped tutor senior co-captain and center Ben Lazarski, who was named an Associated Press third-team All-American. He also tutored Josh Radulski who earned second team All-Atlantic 10 honors in 2004 as he totaled 29 receptions for 271 yards and five touchdowns. Scott coached the wide receivers, tight ends, and kickoff return team during the 2001 season at the University of Tennessee-Martin. Two of his receivers finished in the top five in receptions per game in the Ohio Valley Conference. He also guided the Skyhawks kickoff return team from last place in the nine-team league in 2002 to third place in the league in 2003. Before Tennessee-Martin, Scott served as the quarterback coach in 2002 at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, an NCAA Division II institution. He was instrumental in developing a new passing scheme that set new school records for completions, pass attempts and passing yards in a single season. In 2000 and 2001, Scott was the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Cony High School in Augusta, Maine. He implemented a new offensive game plan that helped Cony reach the Class A State playoffs for the first time in 10 years.

He served as a back-up quarterback for three seasons before getting the nod as the starter in 1999. He won the Maine Sports Hall of Fame Special Achievement Award, and is the tenth all-time leading passer at the school. He earned a B.S. in Communications from the University of Maine in 2000.
