Auburn Hires Howard’s Larry Scott as Tight Ends Coach, Completing Golesh’s Staff

The move completes a 12-man staff built for development with proven SEC experience.

Overview

  • Auburn announced Dec. 16 that Larry Scott will coach tight ends, finalizing Alex Golesh’s first 12-member on-field staff.
  • Scott leaves Howard after five seasons highlighted by consecutive MEAC championships and a 2023 Celebration Bowl appearance.
  • Golesh cited Scott’s player-development track record and SEC background, including a stint as Tennessee’s offensive coordinator and tight ends work at Florida.
  • Auburn’s confirmation followed conflicting media reports, clarifying that Scott—not Larry Porter—took the tight ends job.
  • The completed staff features extensive SEC experience, and Howard now faces a head-coach vacancy created by Scott’s departure.
