He still is:D

He graduated in 1960 so that should make him about 68.

Ironic timing, considering ASU was playing for the title yesterday. DeBerry was a great coach as a Wofford and ASU assistant and the Air Force head coach. He was an offensive innovator. His players from the 1970s at App speak volumes of praise about him. A lot of ASU alums were livid when Jim Brakefield resigned that the school chose the irraciable Mike Working as his replacement (someone told me yesterday about a Watauga Democrat article that was headlined something lie this: Appalchian State isn't Working), instead of DeBerry.

As you likely know, he was commonly referred to as Mike "It Ain't' Working.
