2015 Bison Coaching Staff Gary Harrell Head Coach Howard, 94’ Fourth Season

Gary “Flea” Harrell enters his fourth season as head football coach at Howard University and is committed to building the Bison program into a contender.

It did not take Harrell long to put his stamp on the Howard University football program. Using the slogan, “The Road to Redemption” in his first season in 2011, Harrell was able to turn the Bison’s fortunes around by leading them to a 5-6 mark. It was significant because the win total exceeded the total number of victories the three previous season combined.

Harrell was among the finalists for the Eddie Robinson Award, presented to the top coach in FCS and the MEAC Coach of the Year.

With his philosophy in place, Harrell would lead Howard to a 7-4 record and a 6-2 mark in the MEAC. It was the first winning season for the Bison in a decade and the second place finish in the conference was the best in over a decade.

Following a year leave of absence, Harrell returned the sidelines in 2014 and led the Bison to a 5-7 mark, but it is important to note that Howard finished the season on a four-game winning streak.

The Miami, Fla. native is no stranger to coaching at Greene Stadium, making his career debut as the Bison wide receivers coach in 2002. After two seasons with Howard, Harrell had coaching stints at Texas Southern (2004-2006) and Florida A&M (2006-2008) as the wide receivers coach.

He continued his matriculation towards a head coaching job by serving as the quarterbacks coach at Morgan State University (2008-2009) and the wide receivers coach for Team Michigan, a member of the All-American Football League (2008). Prior to being named the head coach at his alma mater, Harrell completed two seasons as the offensive coordinator for Bowie State University’s football team.

Affectionately known as “The Flea,” Harrell was a fan favorite for his calculating and precise on-the-field exploits despite his stature.

He is the all-time leading receiver in school history and ranks among the tops in MEAC history. He also holds the season record for punt returns (29) and return yards in a season (417). Harrell was a four-year letter winner at Howard University.

“Howard has a strong legacy of achievement,” Harrell said. “Every member of Howard University football accepts the responsibility of representing the program with dignity and pride on and off the field. We started out as the Road To Redemption in an attempt to bring the program back to respectability. We are now entering the next phase, ‘The Road to Glory.’ It is our goal to have a program that is competitive year in and year out.”

As a starter for Howard’s undefeated 1993 team, Harrell and his teammates won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship and were crowned the Black National College champions. He set the benchmark for wide receivers at Howard and holds the school record for most receptions in a game (13) and in a career (184).

Harrell made his professional debut in the National Football League with the New York Giants (1994-96), followed by a season for the World League’s Frankfurt Galaxy (1996) and two seasons in the Canadian Football league with the Montreal Alouettes (1996-97).

Harrell is a 1994 graduate of Howard University with a degree in marketing. He was inducted into the Howard University Hall of Fame in November 2005 and received a proclamation from the City of Miami declaring it Gary “Flea” Harrell Day. Harrell attended the Miami Northwestern High School.

Rayford Petty

Associate Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator/OLBs Coach Rayford “Ray” Petty is the senior member of the Howard coaching staff as he enters his 17th season with the program in one capacity or another, including two tenures as head coach. This will be his second season as associate head coach, who is highly respected among his peers as one of the best in the profession.

This is his fifth season with the program and his third stint.

Prior to Howard, Petty served as defensive coordinator at both Delaware State and Norfolk State. He spent four seasons with the Hornets, and among his team’s defensive highlights, DSU earned a No. 3 MEAC ranking in turnover margin (+0.5 pg) with a total of 22 forced turnovers and four touchdowns scored. In 2008, the DSU defense was ranked second in the MEAC in pass efficiency defense (79.5) and opponents’ first downs (15.3 pg), and third in total defense (288.4 ypg) and pass defense (1441. ypg). The Hornets were named MEAC champions in 2007 and Petty’s unit garnered national rankings in pass efficiency defense (No. 9/105.33), scoring defense (No. 13/18.4 ppg) and overall pass defense (No. 14/169.7). That year, Delaware State finished No. 1 in the MEAC in scoring defense.

Prior to coaching at DSU, Petty posted a 25- 30 record as the head coach of Howard (2002-06). Under Petty’s defensive genius, Howard set a NCAA FCS mark in 2003 for most returned fumbles for touchdowns with eight, a record that still stands. In 2011, the defense ranked among the nation’s best in tackles for losses, sacks and pass defense.

His resume is impressive as he has helped developed former or current National Football League draftees/ signees Antoine “Deuce” Bethea (currently with the San Francisco 49ers), Marques Douglas (formerly with the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens), Rudy Hardie (formerly with Detroit Lions) Ronald Bartell, Jr. (formerly with the St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions), Tracy White (formerly with the New England Patriots) and Geoff Pope (formerly with the New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals).

During his first stint with the Bison, he served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator from 199299. Petty was the defensive coordinator for the Bison during both the 1993 and 1996 seasons when the team captured Black College National championships. Howard went 11-0 during their 1993 season, earning them an automatic berth in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs as well as the MEAC championship. In 1996, the Bison defeated Southern University in the Heritage Bowl.

He received his undergraduate degree from Elon College. He and his wife Hazel have a daughter, Chantell, a Howard graduate, and a son, Shawn.

Ted White

Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator/ QBs Coach Ted White is in his fifth season as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach and his second as assistant head coach. White was instrumental in the development of former Howard QB Greg McGhee, who broke the MEAC record for total offense (previously held by White) while under his tutelage for four seasons. White came to Howard from Southern University where he served as quarterbacks coach. During his illustrious career at Howard, White cemented his name in history, accumulating numerous accolades by setting several career records. White remains the MEAC and Howard all-time leading passer with 9,908 yards and still leads the conference and school in passing completions (638) and touchdowns (92). He set the MEAC record for a single-game best mark in passing yards with 561 and eight touchdowns on October 17, 1998 against MEAC rival Florida A&M. In 1996, White was named the MEAC Player of the Year, MEAC Offensive Player of the Year and Black College Football Player of the Year. He also earned First Team Division I-AA All-America honors in 1996 and 1998 and was named the Pigskin Player of the Year.

By the close of his collegiate career he notched 1,169 passing attempts and 9,845 total offensive yards–– numbers that still leave him second in the MEAC as all-time leader in total offense. Following his ground breaking performances on the collegiate level, White played professionally for five years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. White also had stints with the Barcelona Dragons of NFL Europe and the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

White gained valuable coaching experience early in his career as a quarterbacks coach for Texas Southern University in 2006-07 under his former head coach Steve Wilson. He gained additional experience interning with the Atlanta Falcons were he worked under the direction of quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave, head coach Mike Smith and quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey. White assisted some of the league’s top-rated quarterbacks in Atlanta in Michael Vick and Matt Ryan. He and his wife, Ladricca, have one daughter.

SPARTANS HEAD COACH Latrell Scott Head Coach Hampton, 99’ First season Latrell Scott was named the 17th head football coach in Norfolk State history on Dec. 16, 2014.

Scott comes to NSU following an outstanding two-year run as head coach at Virginia State University.

Scott directed the Trojans to a 19-4 record and two Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Northern Division regular-season titles in his two seasons in Petersburg. The Trojans never lost to a CIAA team under Scott’s direction, going a combined 15-0.

Highlighting Scott’s two-year stint at VSU was an historic 2014 campaign. The Trojans went 10-3 overall and won their first outright CIAA championship since 1996 by defeating Winston-Salem State in the conference championship game. VSU recorded its first-ever NCAA football playoff appearance and victory by defeating Long Island University Post in the first round of the Division II Championship in Petersburg. The Trojans, seeded third in the six-team NCAA Division II Super Region One, fell to No. 2 seed Bloomsburg in the second round, snapping a 10-game winning streak. For his efforts, Scott was named the 2014 CIAA Coach of the Year.

In 2013, Scott was voted the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) College Division State Co-Coach of the Year and the Touchdown Club of Richmond’s state Division II/III Coach of the Year after guiding VSU to a 9-1 overall record and unblemished 7-0 mark in CIAA competition. The VSU football program also attained a top-25 ranking in the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) weekly poll in 2013, another program first.

NSU is the third head coaching position in Scott’s career. In addition to leading VSU the last two years, Scott was head coach at the University of Richmond in 2010. At 34 years of age, Scott was the youngest head coach at the Division I level at the time of his appointment. He led the Spiders to a 6-5 mark that season. His overall record as a head coach is 25-9.

Scott has 15 years of coaching experience. In addition to his previous stints as a head coach, Scott has also served as an assistant coach at James Madison University (2012), the University of Virginia (2009), the University of Tennessee (2008), Richmond (200507), VMI (2002-04), Western Carolina (2001) and Fork Union Military Academy (1999-2000).

At Virginia in 2009, Scott coached the wide receivers. One of his pupils, Kris Burd, signed as a free agent with the New York Jets. The year before, Scott was receivers coach at Tennessee, where he mentored another future NFL player in Denarius Moore, who was a fifth-round draft choice of the Oakland Raiders.

His stints at FBS programs U.Va. and Tennessee came on the heels of a stellar three-year run as an assistant at Richmond from 2005-07. Scott held the title of receivers coach and recruiting coordinator all three years and was also assistant head coach for the 2007 campaign. Richmond went 26-12, made two NCAA Division I FCS playoff appearances and beat an FBS team (Duke) in Scott’s three years as an assistant. The Spiders broke several school records in 2007, which ended with what was then a school record of 11 wins and a berth in the FCS national semifinals.

Of the 10 UR records eclipsed in 2007, Scott’s wide receivers helped the Spiders set new standards for scoring average (34.9), touchdowns (63) and total offense (5,675). Scott helped develop two more pro receivers at UR in Kevin Grayson and Arman Shields.

Grayson was a three-time All-CAA performer who played professionally in Europe, while Shields earned an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine and was picked by Oakland in the fourth round of the 2008 NFL Draft.

Scott arrived in Richmond after spending three seasons as wide receivers coach at VMI. During his tenure in Lexington, the Keydets led the Big South Conference in passing in 2003. His star pupil, Zohn Burden, went on to become the leading receiver in the history of the Big South.

Scott’s first coaching assignment was at Fork Union Military Academy, where he spent two seasons before being named receivers coach at Western Carolina in 2001.

A three-year starter at tight end during his playing days at Hampton University, Scott played on one CIAA championship team and two MEAC championship and NCAA FCS playoff teams for the Pirates. He also competed in the Gridiron All-Star Classic in Orlando, Fla., following his senior season.

A native of Richmond, Scott graduated from Hampton with a bachelor’s degree in sports management in 1999. He attended LeeDavis High School in Mechanicsville and Fork Union during his prep years.

Scott, 40, is married to the former Brandi Bradby of New Kent, Va. The couple has one son, Chase Latrell (1).
