HEAD FOOTBALL COACH
One of the premier coaches in the MidEastern Athletic Conference during his
tenure at South Carolina State, Buddy
Pough continues to keep the Bulldogs
among the MEAC elite year in and year out.
A veteran coach who has enjoyed success at every level, Pough hopes that this season will be the year for the Bulldogs to earn
their first outright MEAC title and their second league championship overall under his
tutelage, along with a trip to the Football
Championship Subdivision (formerly
Division I-AA) playoffs for the first time in
over two decades.
Since taking over the reigns at his alma
mater six years ago, Pough has turned the
Bulldogs into perennial contenders for the
MEAC crown and a national ranking in
Division I-AA. The SC State alum has compiled a six-year 47-21 overall record and a
35-12 mark in the MEAC, with a co-championship in 2004.
In 2007, SC State was 7-4 overall and
finished 6-2 in the MEAC to tie for second
in the league race.
Pough posted a 7-5 overall record and a
4-4 mark in the MEAC in his inaugural season in 2002 and has had a winning cam-

paign in each of his six seasons. In 2003, he
guided the Bulldogs to an 8-4 overall record
and a 6-2 mark in MEAC play, losing only to
Hampton and Bethune-Cookman. The
team’s effort left the Bulldogs in a three-way
tie for second place in the MEAC final
standings.
The 2004 season was arguably one of
the team’s best under Pough, as the Bulldogs
produced the first of two consecutive 9-2
seasons. SC State was 6-1 in MEAC play
that season, tying the Hampton Pirates for
the 2004 championship.
In 2005, Pough’s team duplicated the
9-2 record of the previous year and
improved to 7-1 in the MEAC, with the sole
MEAC loss coming at the hands of eventual champion and nationally-ranked
Hampton.
The Bulldogs were especially dominant
at home in the ‘05 season, dropping just one
game at Oliver C. Dawson Bulldog
Stadium. Over the last three seasons,
Pough’s teams have lost just two games at
home.
Pough became the 14th head football
coach at South Carolina State in the fall of
2002, taking the reins from legendary
Bulldog coach Willie Jeffries, who retired
after 19 years at the helm. Jeffries was an
early endorser of Pough and has continued
to be a great source of support for the
Bulldog football program.
Prior to taking the reins at South
Carolina State, Pough spent five seasons at
the University of South Carolina, three
under another coaching legend — Lou
Holtz. Pough, during his five-year stint for
the Gamecocks, served as the running backs
coach for USC, which was one of the top
offensive teams in the Southeastern

HEAD FOOTBALL COACH
Conference during the span.
Pough helped with the development of some of the best running backs in the school’s history, and the Gamecocks made
back-to-back appearances in the Outback Bowl in 2000 and
2001
Before joining the Gamecock coaching staff, Pough was one
of the top high school coaches in the state of South Carolina,
leading Fairfield-Central High School to a perfect 15-0 record
in 1996 and claiming the Class AAA South Carolina State
Championship. He earned SCHSL Coach of the Year honors
for his efforts, the first of three such honors.
He also had a coaching stint at W.J. Keenan High School in
Columbia, SC, where he built the Raiders into one of the top
Class AAA teams in the state.
Pough is a native of Orangeburg and a former offensive
lineman with the Bulldogs. As a player, he helped the Bulldogs
amass a 16-6-1 record during the 1974 and 1975 seasons, a
span in which the Bulldogs suffered just two MEAC losses and
captured a pair of MEAC titles. He was rewarded for his efforts
with All-MEAC honors as well as All-NAIA District 6 honors.
Following his graduation from SC State, Pough joined the
coaching staff at nearby Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School
from 1976-79. He then returned to the South Carolina State
sidelines in 1979 under then-SCSU head coach Bill Davis. After
a season as offensive line coach, Pough became the Bulldog
defensive coordinator (1980) and helped guide the Bulldogs to
their only two appearances in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs
as well as four MEAC championships.
“It’s always good to come home again,” said Pough
when he was introduced as Bulldog head coach in 2002. “I’ve
been a high school assistant, a high school head coach, and a
college assistant. It’s just a natural progression that I become a
collegiate head coach and to do it at home makes it that much
better.”
Pough earned his undergraduate degree from South
Carolina State in 1975 and also holds a master’s degree from
the University. He and his wife, Josie, are the proud parents of
two sons: Oliver, III (Bud) and Lee Judson.
SC State head coach Oliver “ Buddy” Pough will
look to win his second MEAC Conference title
this year, after taking over the helm in 2002.

experience, but earned All-MEAC honors in
the 2004 season.

Bulldogs from 1990-94, Blanchard earned
