It’s now officially official.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Seth Littrell was set to add Galen Scott to his North Texas coaching staff. Thursday, the football program confirmed that Scott has been hired as the Mean Green’s new linebackers coach.
Scott comes to Denton from Old Dominion, where he was hired as defensive backs coach in January of this year.
“Being able to add someone at the caliber of coach Scott at this stage of the offseason is key for us,” the head coach said in a statement. “He has great experience throughout his career and his leadership will be important in the development of a young linebacking corps. We are excited to get him to Denton ahead of spring practice and bring him into our family.”
Prior to the very brief stint at ODU, and before a one-year stop at the high school level, Scott served as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Virginia Tech from 2016-17.
