Scott Pioli (born March 31, 1965 in Washingtonville, New York) is a professional American football executive, currently serving as the Vice President of Player Personnel for the New England Patriots of the National Football League.

Education and athletics

Pioli attended Central Connecticut State University between 1983 and 1987, graduating in 1988 with a degree in communications. He was a a three-time Division II All-New England selection as a defensive tackle. In 2005, Central Connecticut State inducted Pioli into their hall of fame.

College coaching career

At Syracuse University, Pioli earned his masters degree while also serving as a graduate assistant with the Syracuse football team from 1988 to 1989. In 1990, Pioli began a two-year stint at Murray State University as a offensive line coach in his first year, and a defensive line coach in his second year.

Professional executive career

In 1992, Pioli was hired as a pro personnel assistant by now-Patriots coach Bill Belichick, then the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Even without prior NFL scouting experience, Belichick put Pioli in charge of evaluating college players and handling some player contracts.

When Belichick was fired following the Browns' move to Baltimore in 1996, Pioli stayed with the Ravens and was promoted to director of pro personnel.

A year later, in 1997, Pioli rejoined Belichick, who had followed Bill Parcells as an assistant coach to the New York Jets. Again the director of pro personnel, Pioli's moves helped the Jets to a franchise-high 12 wins and their first AFC East title in 20 years.

When Belichick accepted the Patriots' head coaching position in 2000, Pioli again followed Belichick as the Patriots' assistant director of player personnel.

In their seven seasons with the Patriots, Pioli and Belichick have led the team to three Super Bowl championships and five division titles. In his tenure with the Patriots, Pioli has earned promotions to Director of Player Personnel and Vice President of Player Personnel in 2000 and 2002, respectively, as well as a contract extension in 2005.

Awards and honors

Pioli is the youngest and only one of three NFL executives to win the Sporting News' George Young NFL Executive of the Year Award in consecutive years, a feat he accomplished after winning the award for the second straight year following the 2004 season.
