Scott Brisson, a 20-year coaching veteran across multiple levels of college football, begins his first season as senior offensive analyst at UCLA in 2026.
ย
Brisson most recently served as an offensive analyst at James Madison in 2025 under head coach Bob Chesney, helping lead the Dukes to a 12-2 record, their first Sun Belt Conference championship and the programโs first College Football Playoff appearance. JMU ranked first in the Sun Belt and ninth nationally in scoring offense (31.7 points per game) while finishing 15th in total offense (456.2 yards per game).
ย
Prior to James Madison, Brisson spent the 2024 season at Wake Forest as an offensive analyst and assistant quarterbacks coach. He assisted in all aspects of quarterback development, supported the offensive coordinator and oversaw opponent scouting operations, producing advance reports for future opponents.
ย
Before his time at Wake Forest, Brisson served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at NCAA Division II Shippensburg in Pennsylvania.
ย
He previously spent nine seasons at Lehigh (2014-22), including his final six as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after beginning his tenure as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. During his time with the Mountain Hawks, Brisson helped lead one of the Patriot Leagueโs most productive offenses.
ย
Lehigh led the Patriot League in passing yards in 2018 and pass efficiency in 2019. The 2017 Patriot League championship team ranked sixth nationally in total offense, seventh in passing yards and ninth in scoring, producing seven All-Patriot League First Team selections on offense.
ย
Brisson coached 2017 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year Dom Bragalone, who led the FCS with 1,388 rushing yards and earned consensus First Team All-America honors while becoming a Walter Payton Award finalist. He also helped develop 2022 Patriot League Rookie of the Year Geoffrey Jamiel.
ย
Brisson was also part of Lehighโs 2016 Patriot League championship staff as the Mountain Hawksโ receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. Lehigh ranked sixth nationally in both passing and total offense, eighth on third down and ninth in scoring. Wide receiver Troy Pelletier earned Third Team All-America honors after ranking among the FCS leaders in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns.
ย
Ahead of the 2016 season, Brisson completed a training camp internship with the San Francisco 49ers.
ย
Brisson came to Lehigh from NCAA Division III Lycoming College, where he served as offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and receivers coach from 2012-13. He helped lead the program to a Middle Atlantic Conference championship in 2013 while developing record-setting quarterback Tyler Jenny.
ย
His coaching career also includes stops at St. Lawrence (2010-11) as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Lehigh (2008-09) as an offensive graduate assistant working with running backs, and Franklin & Marshall (2006-07) as wide receivers coach.
ย
Brisson graduated from Bowdoin College in 2006 with degrees in government and sociology. A four-year letterwinner at wide receiver, he helped the Polar Bears to a six-win season in 2005 for the programโs highest total in 36 years.
ย
Brisson and his wife, Catherine, have one son, Mac.
