Scott R. Isphording (born September 2, 1971)[1] is an American college football coach and former player. He currently serves as the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Ohio Bobcats.

Playing career

Isphording was a four-year letterwinner as a quarterback at Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana, playing from 1990 to 1993.[2] He finished the 1992 season with 3,098 yards of passing, which stood as sixth-most in NCAA Division III history.[2]

Coaching career

Isphording began his coaching career as a graduate student at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas, serving as the Tigers' quarterbacks coach from 1994 to 1996.[2] After leaving Fort Hays State, he was the quarterbacks and wide receivers coach at the Colorado School of Mines for three years.[3] Isphording spent the following six years, from 1998 to 2003, on the staff at Wittenberg University as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach,[4] in addition to serving as the head men's golf coach in his final year there.[5] From 1998 to 2002, he also served as an assistant coach on the Wittenberg baseball staff.[1]

He took his first Division I job in 2004 when he was hired as the quarterbacks coach on Jeff Genyk's staff at Eastern Michigan University.[1] After three years in this position, Isphording was promoted to offensive coordinator.[6] In 2009, Isphording departed Eastern Michigan for Ohio University, where he served as the Bobcats' tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator for one year.[2] Isphording then accepted a position as the quarterbacks coach at Toledo University; he held this position for two years before adding the roles of passing game coordinator and recruiting coordinator for his final two years.[7]

Before the 2014 season, Isphording returned to Ohio to take the position of quarterbacks coach.[7] He held this position for seven seasons before being promoted to co-offensive coordinator alongside Allen Rudolph, while still holding his previous position.[8]

Personal life

Isphording is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and attended La Salle High School.[4] He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Hanover College and a Master of Science in physical education from Fort Hays State University.[3] He is married to his wife, Shelly, with whom he has two children.[2]
