Well it’s official - Kansas football has a new offensive coordinator. And yes, I had to Google the name when I saw it, which let’s be honest, is not a great start.
Mike DeBord, most recently an offensive analyst at Michigan, has officially been named the newest KU OC.
At 64 years old, DeBord is a career offensive line coach (which is actually a plus). He was the head coach at Central Michigan from 2000-03, and has served as offensive coordinator in the past at Michigan (1997-99, 2006-07), Tennessee (2015-16), and Indiana (2017-18). He “retired” from football following the 2018 season, but joined Jim Harbaugh in Ann Arbor in March of 2020.
