Let’s be clear on something. Joshua Dobbs made Mike DeBord during the two years they shared with the Tennessee football program.
Dobbs had already proven he was great by how he finished the second half of the 2014 season with Mike Bajakian as the Vols’ offensive coordinator.
When DeBord arrived that next offseason, he hardly changed anything. He just let Dobbs be Dobbs.
So Dobbs’s departure could be the reason for DeBord’s departure.
After all, DeBord’s experience is mostly running a pro-style offense. He coached guys like Brian Griese, Tom Brady, and Chad Henne. Then he coached running backs like Mike Hart.
