Statistics

Doug Scovil (June 30, 1927 – December 9, 1989) was an American football coach. His career included five years as head coach of the San Diego State Aztecs (1981–1985), where he compiled a record of 24–32–3. Following his stint as head coach for the Aztecs, Scovil acted as the quarterback coach for the Philadelphia Eagles until his death from a heart attack at Veterans Stadium. He was credited with developing Randall Cunningham.[1] In memorial, the Eagles marked their helmets with black electrical tape for the rest of the season.[2]

Previous coaching stops included the College of San Mateo, the U.S. Naval Academy, the University of the Pacific, San Francisco 49ers (Quarterback Coach) and Brigham Young University.

While serving as quarterbacks coach at Brigham Young University Scovil deserves significant credit in developing future NFL quarterbacks Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, and Steve Young.

Scovil played for Stockton Junior College and the University of the Pacific.[3]

While head coach at San Diego State, he helped develop several players under the system he had started at BYU.
