While Dearmon was at Auburn, the Tigers posted a combined 20-7 record, including an 11-5 mark in SEC play.

Dearmon was at Auburn during “The Miracle in Jordan-Hare” hail mary play verses Georgia and the “Kick Six” Field Goal return touchdown verses Alabama. Dearmon brought extensive experience in the high school ranks to Auburn, as he spent three seasons as the offensive coordinator at Vigor High School in Prichard, Alabama before taking the reins of the program at B.C. Rain High School for two seasons. Dearmon won a state championship at Vigor in 2008 as his offense averaged 36 ppg.  He began his coaching career at his alma mater, Bethel University, in 2007, where he served as a student assistant, coaching the defensive backs as the team posted an 11-2 record.
