In the last five years, John Scott Jr. has worked under head coaches Kliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech and Chad Morris at Arkansas. His first five practices as South Carolina’s defensive line coach have been a welcome change from those years.
“I like the way we do it here better,” Scott said Thursday as he met with the media for the first time since being hired in January to replace Lance Thompson on the Gamecocks coaching staff.
The main difference is the pace of practice. With the Red Raiders and Razorbacks, whose head coaches ran famously up-tempo offenses, practices went just as fast.
