Where are you getting your information? Brent Dearmon has been a FBS Offensive Coordinator the past few seasons. I was lobbying hard for Hud to return but I’m sure it’s not a difficult decision between the beach and dealing with the transfer portal.

Coach Dearmon is from Mobile where his father was a long time coach at several schools here on the Gulf Coast.


North Alabama hires Brent Dearmon as head football couch

North Alabama has hired Brent Dearmon as head football coach, the school announced Saturday.

Dearmon, 37, has been an offensive coordinator at several FBS schools in recent years, including Kansas, Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic. A Saraland native, he was a high school coach in the Mobile area at Vigor and B.C. Rain from 2008-12 and also served as an offensive analyst at Auburn under Gus Malzahn in 2013-14.

I’m excited to see what he pulls together for next season. Hope he can get our record-setting running back out of the portal.

He was a head coach for one year at his NAIA alma mater Bethel in 2018. They went undefeated in the regular season and won the conference title. Lost in OT in the first round of the playoffs. Then, Les Miles hired him at Kansas.

My apologies. I must have not finished reading the entire article or whatever it was I saw where he was mentioned as being hired. Whatever it was it led off as him being a successful HS Coach in Alabama. Congrats to Tuna.

It’s all good. You likely read the FootballScoop article. I think they confused him with his dad in that first sentence.

Hudspeth was fired from UL and 22 wins were vacated due to academic fraud. He suddenly resigned from Austin Peay upon being suspended for his personal conduct.

He's either done in college football, or he is the next head coach at Auburn.

I did not know that about and you officially made me spit out my coffee just now. Thank you.

Dearmon's first two hires are former SEC standouts at Auburn and South Carolina.

Yep, the rumors are starting to be announced. I've heard this for a while but the SFA coach let it out of the bag on a podcast right before Thanksgiving and the APSU AD basically said as much last week. So, I think you can pretty much say ASUN football is dead.
