I disagree. He is one of two coaches I was hoping they wouldn't hire. Unless they lose a bunch of their current players I expect to see Bama back in the playoffs next season.
Next bama coach

Next year maybe, but IDK about after that. Dude has never proven he can recruit.
You think this clown is gonna be able to recruit like Saban? Even with him Bama was slipping, now with a near biblical exodus taking place in Tuscaloosa…. I don't see it.
Bama to a very large degree recruits itself. I don't see much of a drop off for Bama in the coming years.

If you go outside right now, it's not the wind…… you can hear Lane Kiffin and PDB crying!!!!
Not a bad 3rd, or was it 4th choice?
Wonder if they required him to keep some of the previous staff?

Lost it? Are you new here? He never had it.
Dude, that's old school Photobucket stuff from the early Tndeer days right there!

He wasn't my first choice but nobody asked me. 
I hope he will be great. It's going to be interesting to see who's on his staff. First conference home game is Georgia.
Welcome to Title Town! ROLL TIDE!

Really? He took a struggling 4-8 Washington team and in 2 seasons took them to a National Championship. Guy groomed a serious contender for a Heisman too. Did Butch Jones do anything remarkably close to that as a head coach the entire time he was with the vols? Answer??? NOPE!Kalen DeBoer???did he immigrate from the Netherlands? Scandinavia? Big football hotspots those 2.
No kidding , his record is awkwardly similar to Butch Jones!!! Go look for yourself. And he's roughly the same age. Oh Bama…what have you done?
With 12 teams next year, if he doesn't it's going to get ugly quick.
I'm sure his agent got a very large buyout in the deal so that he'll be set and never have to work again.
This should be good

PBD.. it's the Pac12 man…come on… Sioux Falls Cougars? That's like Tennessee Tech level….
I'm old school…what can I say?!?!

Quite the circle jerk going on among the Vol faithful, figures.
When they hired Saban Vol fans were laughing at Bama paying $4mm for a coach.
When Saban started winning Vol fans said he will leave in three years.
One fact is that any new coach will be a drop off. How much will be determined.
Also, the players entering the portal as a sign of "exodus". I would advise them to do the same until they see the direction. By declaring to enter the portal they can evaluate their options. They can also stay if they choose.

I suspect DeBoer was the Athletics Director's first choice and he was on the AD's list before Saban ever mentioned retirement but we may never know. Smart and Sarkesian were mentioned by some but I doubt there was ever any expectations there. Kiffin says he has matured and it may be true but I think the administration at Alabama are still holding his shenanigans that took place while offensive coordinator there against him.
Big questions regarding staff.
DeBoar's first recruiting task will be going after Alabama players that have recently entered the portal.

Looks like he only has two years of Power 5 experience, but he knocked it out of the park in those two years.
Cons. Zero SEC experience, zero experience at all in the south doing anything football wise. Not a proven recruiter.
Sorta did the same thing Heupel did his first couple years at UT. He took a shot at a failed 3* Indiana trasfer QB and a few trasfer WRs and hit a Homrun. Kinda like what Heupel did with hooker & Bru and others.

I think Deboar would be a good hire. I'm a little surprised so many alabama fans against that. Who do yal want?

Really trying to be kind to people these days. Holy smokes you make that difficult.Guess he would lose his fan boy status with the vol nation if he came to coach at ALABAMA now huh?
