Scout
"During his 36-odd years in football, Harry Buffington has gained wide experience on virtually every level of the game, experience that he now brings to the Giants' scouting department. In his time, the Pryor, Oklahoma native has been a player, coach, scout, recruiter and personnel expert.
His professional playing experience includes one year with the Giants (1942) when he played running back, guard and linebacker; and three years with the Brooklyn Dodgers of the AAC (1946-48). As a collegian, Harry was an all-conference wingback and blocking back for three years at Oklahoma A & M. He received a Master's Degree in secondary school administration there in 1947.
Buffington was head coach and athletic director at Austin College in Texas from 1951-54, and from 1955-62 was defensive coach at Oklahoma State. He filled the same role at Texas Tech in 1963 and then coached the defense for the Edmonton Eskimos in Canada (1964-65). Since 1966, Harry has been an area scout with CEPO."
