Scott Fuchs is in his first season with the Titans. He was hired by Tennessee in 2024 as assistant offensive line coach after spending 30 seasons coaching at the collegiate level.

Fuchs has coached offensive lines every year since 2000. During his eight seasons prior to jumping to the NFL level, his teams went to a total of six bowl games: 2016 and 2017 at Wyoming; 2019 and 2020 at Buffalo; and 2022 and 2023 at Kansas.

Fuchs (pronunciation rhymes with "books") arrived in Tennessee after serving on the University of Kansas coaching staff from 2021 to 2023. During his time with the Jayhawks, his pupils earned a total of seven All-Big 12 selections, including Dominick Puni, who was a two-time All-Big 12 selection and earned first team honors in 2023. Center Mike Novitsky earned All-Big 12 honors in each of his three seasons at Kansas, while Earl Bostick Jr. was a two-time All-Big 12 selection before signing with the Dallas Cowboys following the 2023 NFL Draft.

In 2023, Kansas finished 8-4 to secure a winning record for the first time since 2008. The Jayhawks garnered a second consecutive bowl berth (Guaranteed Rate Bowl) for only the second time in program history. The offensive line paved the way for the No. 4 rushing offense in the Big 12 as the Jayhawks ran for an average of 211.3 yards per game and a league-leading 31 touchdowns. KU allowed only 15 sacks, which ranked fourth in the conference.

In 2022, Fuchs assisted as the Jayhawks qualified for a bowl game (AutoZone Liberty Bowl) for the first time since 2008 and reached the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2009. The offensive line helped pave the way for the third-highest scoring offense in school history as the Jayhawks scored 35.6 points per game. Three of his players earned All-Big 12 honors, led by Novitsky, who earned second team accolades. Bostick and Puni both received honorable mention from the conference.

Prior to joining the Jayhawks staff, Fuchs spent two years (2019-20) at Buffalo. In each season under Fuchs, the Bulls were semifinalists for the Joe Moore Award, given annually to the best offensive line unit in the nation.

In 2020, Buffalo ranked second in the nation in rushing yards per game (287.4) and allowed only one sack on the season, which tied for the fewest in the country. Three of the Bulls' starting offensive linemen were named All-MAC, including Kayode Awosika, who in 2021 signed an NFL free agent contract to play for the Philadelphia Eagles. Awosika was second-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). Fuchs was named one of five finalists for the 2020 FootballScoop Offensive Line Coach of the Year Award and was nominated for the 2020 Broyles Award, given to the top assistant coach in college football.

Prior to Buffalo, Fuchs spent five seasons (2014-18) at Wyoming, where he helped develop All-American center Chase Roullier, who later went on to a pro career as a starter for the Washington Commanders. Fuchs helped design a blocking scheme for running back Brian Hill, who rushed for a school-record 4,287 yards over his career. In 2016, Fuchs helped coach the Cowboy offense to average 35.9 points per game, which ranked second in the Mountain West and No. 25 in the nation.

Fuchs coached the offensive line at his alma mater, North Dakota State, from 2009 to 2013. He helped lead the Bison to a 43-2 record and three national titles between 2011 and 2013. In 2012 and 2013, Fuchs coached consensus first-team All-America offensive tackle Billy Turner, who was selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins.

Prior to returning to his alma mater, Fuchs coached at Southern Illinois in 2008. That team tied for the conference title and advanced to the first round of the FCS Playoffs. He also coached at Grand Valley State (2007), Nebraska-Omaha (2003-06), Minnesota-Crookston (2000-02), Wisconsin-Eau Claire (1999) and Valley City State (1997-98). The only school Fuchs did not coach the offensive line was his one season at Wisconsin-Eau Claire, when he coached the defensive line.

As a student athlete at North Dakota State, Fuchs was named to the 1993 Kodak/American Football Coaches Association first-team All-America squad as a senior offensive guard. NDSU won three consecutive North Central Conference rushing titles during his three years as a starter. Fuchs was a part of three North Central Conference Championship teams at NDSU in 1990, 1991 and 1992, and in 1990, the Bison captured the NCAA Division II National Championship. He broke into coaching as a graduate assistant with NDSU, working with the tight ends from 1994 to 1996.

A native of Minot, N.D., Fuchs earned his bachelor of science degree in physical education and social science education from North Dakota State in 1995 and added a master's of education with a specialization in physical education and athletic administration from NDSU in 1997.

He and his wife, Emily, have three sons: Hank, Jack and Gus.
