Former Kansas football offensive coordinator Brent Dearmon is among the finalists for the head coaching position at West Virginia University. Dearmon, who has garnered attention for his innovative offensive schemes and coaching expertise, is now in the mix for one of the most coveted coaching positions in college football.
Dearmon’s potential move to West Virginia follows a successful tenure at Kansas, where he played a significant role in revitalizing the Jayhawks’ offense. Under his guidance, Kansas’ offense became more dynamic, with Dearmon’s innovative spread system helping the team increase its scoring output. His work with quarterbacks and skill-position players has earned him a reputation as a rising star in the coaching world.
West Virginia has been in search of a new head coach after parting ways with Neal Brown, who struggled to bring sustained success to the Mountaineers’ football program. The team is looking for a leader capable of restoring the program’s competitive edge in the Big 12 Conference and building a more potent offense. Dearmon’s offensive acumen and experience at the Power Five level make him a strong candidate for the job.
Dearmon’s path to becoming a head coach includes stops at several schools, including his role as offensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee and his previous experience coaching at Auburn and Arkansas State. His fast rise in coaching circles has impressed many, and now it appears he could be on the verge of taking the reins at a Big 12 program.
While West Virginia is evaluating other candidates, Dearmon’s innovative offensive philosophy and proven track record make him a leading contender. If hired, Dearmon would look to quickly revitalize a West Virginia offense that has struggled to find consistency in recent seasons.
