Scott Boone brings a quarter century of coaching experience to the field for the College. While the 2007 season is his fourth on campus, it will be his first working with the linebackers. The veteran mentor has proven to be a versatile developer of talent, as he has also worked with the Tribe’s defensive backs and as an offensive assistant on the staff.

Boone handles the Tribe’s recruiting efforts in northern Virginia and the Philadelphia-metro area.

Last year, Boone helped develop a unit that recorded six of the team’s eight interceptions. Boone’s first season (2005) as the team’s defensive backs coach saw him direct a corps that was responsible for 13 of the team’s 19 interceptions and two defensive touchdowns. Leading the way was two-time All-Atlantic 10 corner Stephen Cason, who paced the squad with four picks, including one he returned 62 yards for a score at VMI.

In 2004, Boone served as an offensive assistant on the Tribe staff after spending the previous seven years as the head football coach at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va.

In his seven seasons at Randolph-Macon, Boone compiled a record of 37-33, including a 22-18 ledger in conference action. In 1997, Boone guided the Yellow Jackets to a share of the ODAC title, going 4-1 in league play and 8-2 overall, and garnered Richmond Touchdown Club and VaSID Small College Coach of the Year honors.

While at RMC, Boone coached 34 players to First-Team All-ODAC honors in his seven seasons. Also, 14 team and individual school records were broken under Boone.

Prior to his stint at RMC, Boone was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind., from 1983 to 1996. In Boone’s 14 years as an assistant, Wabash posted an 81-38-2 record. In addition to his football duties, Boone was the head baseball coach at Wabash from 1986 to 1997, compiling a career record of 231-219 on the diamond, which ranks him as the school’s all-time coaching wins leader. Boone is a member of the Wabash College Athletic Hall of Fame.

In addition to his bachelor’s degree from Wabash, Boone holds a Master’s of Science – Education in Higher Education Administration from Purdue University, which he received in 1999.
