App State announced Friday the hiring of Scot Sloan to fill the vacant defensive coordinator position after Dale Jones departed the program.
Sloan was on the Mountaineer sidelines from 2010-17 serving as App State’s secondary coach, recruiting coordinator and in 2017 was promoted to co-defensive coordinator.
“Scot played a key role in our championship success and recruiting during his first stint here. He has coordinated successful defenses with multiple programs, and he will instill a tough, sound, disciplined approach for our defense moving forward,” head coach Shawn Clark said.
After leaving Boone in 2017, Sloan coached at Georgia Southern as defensive coordinator and safeties coach from 2018-21 and at Army as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach in 2022.
