Edinburgh have tasted victory in the league just four times this season, and former international hooker Scott has just five games to turn their campaign around.
The first of these comes at Murrayfield as Edinburgh welcome Ulster on Friday night, and Scott, who made 99 appearances in the Gunners' front-row in his playing days, is happy to get going as soon as possible.
"I'll come back from Paris on Sunday and have a meeting arranged with the staff at Edinburgh for that evening," Scott told the Edinburgh Evening News.
"I may be from the Borders (his playing career at club level was spent with Melrose and briefly Gala), but ?Edinburgh was the first place to give me my professional rugby opportunity.
"I have a lot of passion for Edinburgh. I want to pay them back for the opportunity they gave me.
"We are not looked at as specialist coaches any more thanks to the opportunities we have been given by Johnno (Scott Johnson) with Scotland.
"We are rugby coaches capable of taking on a range of jobs.
"Hodgey has a great knowledge of the game having been given responsibility for more than kicking. I have been working on the line-out and the maul, both attack and defence as well as other aspects. Before getting involved with Scotland, too, I was at Sale. It's not as if we are coming in from the wilderness."
