Thatawesomeguy4 - read what other's think about your "awesome" OC...
It's really happening? I mentioned that there was chatter on Tennessee boards that Mike DeBord might be their offensive coordinator earlier. I didn't think it would actually happen for a zillion different reasons, but… uh…
Mike DeBord
Most recently — TE coach, Chicago Bears
DeBord, like Jones, is a former head coach at Central Michigan, and the two Midwestern natives have become good friends over the years. DeBord, a former offensive coordinator at Michigan from 1997-99 and 2006-07, hasn’t coached since serving as the Chicago Bears tight ends coach from 2010-12 and is currently the Olympic Sports Coordinator at Michigan….
Why he’s still on the board: Because he remains, by all accounts, the clubhouse leader for the position despite also holding at least a couple of potential NFL offers in his pocket.
I am going to be fascinated if this in fact happens. Tennessee found some life on offense last year when they turned to sophomore dual-threat QB Josh Dobbs, who ran for 500 yards in six games and is not at all like John Navarre. DeBord, meanwhile, is probably unaware that quarterbacks are allowed to cross the line of scrimmage.
He also hasn't been a coordinator since 2007—Lloyd Carr was the only guy who ever thought he was that level of coach. He'd seemingly given up on the whole enterprise when he took an administrative spot in the Michigan AD. To suddenly show up in the SEC as a coordinator is a reversal worthy of Zack Novak.
It also means that Mike DeBord found a coordinator gig before Al Borges.
OT: Former UM OC Mike DeBord of Chicago Bears not retained by new HC Marc Trestman
Maybe he'll join Loeffler at VT for Lloydball 2: The Lloydening?
Coming soon to theatres near you: This time, the punts are on THIRD down!

What does DeBord bring to the table that current wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni doesn't? What does he bring to the table that South Carolina wide receivers coach G.A. Mangus doesn't? What does he bring to the table that Alabama wide receivers coach Billy Napier, USC wide receivers coach Tee Martin and Arizona co-offensive coordinator Calvin Magee don't?
Familiarity with Jones?
That seems to be the most important factor. As an offensive coordinator in college, his experience doesn't exactly jump off the page. - Barrett Sallee SEC Football Lead Writer Feb 6, 2015

That write-up on DeBord makes him sound exactly like Karl Dorrell who was OC for Vandy last year. Former HC and mentor of current HC? Check. Hasn't been an OC in a while? Check. Fans of former schools are laughing really hard at him being hired as an OC? Check.
Oh, please, if there is a God, Debord will be half the frick up that Dorrell is.
