Deric Scott is set to become the new head football coach at Foley High School.
Scott has had a success run at Vigor High School, compiling a 41-21 record over five seasons. That record includes a Class 5A state championship game appearance in 2018.
Scott will fill the void left behind by the departure of Tad Niblett who has moved on to become offensive coordinator at Hoover High School under his brother Josh.
