BREAKING: MTSU Hires Brent Dearmon as Offensive Coordinator

Rick Stockstill has made a very impressive hire as he plucked a sitting Offensive Coordinator from a Power 5 job. The Blue Raiders are set to announce Kansas Offensive Coordinator Brent Dearmon as the team’s new playcaller.

Prior to Kansas, Dearmon was Head Coach at his alma mater, Bethel University. Pulling from KUSports.com, “In his one season leading his alma mater, Bethel University, Dearmon guided the Wildcats to their best season in school history. BU posted a 10-0 regular season mark and a No. 3 ranking, while averaging 540.3 yards and a nation’s best 55.0 points per game, the highest scoring offense not just in NAIA, but in all of college football.

Prior to his time at Bethel, Dearmon spent three seasons as the offensive coordinator at Division II Arkansas Tech and two seasons as an analyst on Gus Malzahn’s staff at Auburn.”

Bethel will coach Quarterbacks as well for the Blue Raiders, according to sources.

Per FootballScoop, “By contract Dearmon owes Kansas $500,000 to buy his way out of his contract. Sources tell FootballScoop MTSU is not expected to have to pay Dearmon’s buyout.”
