Scott Browning is in third season as a defensive analyst for the Iowa State football program.
ISU’s 2017 season was one of the best in the history of the program. The Cyclones compiled an 8-5 record, the second-most wins in school history, and scored a victory in the 2017 Liberty Bowl over Memphis, only the fourth bowl win in the history of the program.
Iowa State also broke its school record for wins over ranked opponents (3), victories on the road (5), wins vs. conference opponents (5) and appeared in the AP national rankings for the first time in 12 years.
The improvement of the ISU defense in 2017 was simply amazing. The Cyclones ranked second in the Big 12 and 26th nationally in scoring defense (20.9), and ranked third in the Big 12 in total defense (366.2).
It had been over 10 years since the Cyclones ended a season with under 400 yards of total defense.
Once Big 12 play began, ISU was even better, ranking second in the league in scoring defense (18.9) and total defense (357.2) in conference games only.
Browning spent 30 years at Edinboro University (1986-2015), including 10 seasons as the head coach prior to coming to Ames.
Browning compiled a 57-54 (2006-15) as the head man at the Division II Pennsylvania school, the second-most victories in school history. The Scots finished in the final AFCA top-25 poll in 2008 and 2009 and qualified for the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2009.
A native of Loudonville, Ohio, Browning began his tenure at Edinboro in 1986 as running backs coach. He also served as defensive backs coach, offensive line coach and offensive coordinator before taking over the reins of the program in 2006.
Iowa State is the fourth Division I school he’s worked at, serving as a graduate assistant at New Mexico State (1982) and Ohio State (1984-85). Browning was also the wide receivers coach at Idaho State in 1983.
As a GA at Ohio State, Browning worked with the receivers and running backs under former Iowa State head coach Earle Bruce. The Buckeyes went to the Rose Bowl in 1984 behind All-American Keith Byars.
Browning, who earned his bachelor’s degree at Ohio State in 1981, began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Worthington High School and Dayton-Fairview High School in Ohio from 1979-81.
He earned his master’s degree from New Mexico State in 1983.
Brown and his wife, Lynn, have two children: Andrew and Katelyn.
