NSU's new coach to decide fate of Pete Adrian's staff

Scott signed a four-year deal with NSU worth $180,000 per year, plus postseason incentives.

NORFOLK, Virginia -- The process of assembling what new Norfolk State football coach Latrell Scott called "the best staff possible" during his introductory press conference begins in earnest today.

Scott, hired from Virginia State last month to replace the retired Pete Adrian, said he plans to meet with Adrian's former staff members this week in his first full-time action on the job after the holidays. Whether Scott will retain any of the current staff remains to be seen.

"I can't really say anything about it because nothing's finalized," Scott said. "But as I said in our press conference, our goal is to surround ourselves with the best possible people that we can. And hopefully, we'll have everything in place sooner (rather) than later."

The Spartans went 4-8 overall and 4-4 in the MEAC in 2014, the last of Adrian's 10 seasons at the school.
