From The Archives - Brent Dearmon, OC Kansas Jayhawks

From the Archives: Originally an offensive consultant, Coach Dearmon was promoted by Kansas Jayhawk head coach Les Miles to serve as the program’s new offensive coordinator on October 6, 2019. Due to his previous experience as an offensive coordinator at Arkansas Tech, head coach at Bethel University (Tenn.) and analyst at Auburn University (Ala.), Coach Dearmon was able to handle the task of taking over as Kansas’ offensive coordinator mid-season. Prior to Kansas, Dearmon became one of the hottest offensive names in the game after his one-year campaign as head coach of Bethel University, where they went 10-0 and boasted an incredible 540.3 yards per game to go along with an unheard of 55 points per game, the most for any team in college football.
