From the article on SI.com (something sounds familiar here 😁):

"Back in the spring, when the schedule comes out and you're like, ‘OK, that's gonna be a grind,’" Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said. "But you don't even look at it that way. You look at one game, and you focus on that one game. And that's what we did against Georgia. And that's what we did against Vanderbilt. And now that's what we gotta do against Missouri. You focus on only that game. And when you do it, all of a sudden you find yourself going through the month and you're like, ‘OK, we've gotten better.’ And, ‘OK, we got the win.’ And again, just focus on the process, focusing on what it has to look like as we refine everything we're doing. Just competing at the highest level, where you just focus on those things that you can control. The schedule, you work through it one by one. And you end up, usually, if you've got the talent and you've got the people and you catch a break here and there, you end up on the right side of it.”

but but he’s not Nick Saban and must be fired immediately because he doesn’t look like Nick, sound like Nick, listen to Nick’s music, dress like Nick, do press conferences like Nick, doesn’t fly off the handle like Nick, doesn’t wear a straw hat like Nick.

Don't forget that he doesn't eat little debbie oatmeal cream pies and being a west coast guy. he probably eats kale and likes it.

People said the same thing after Coach Bryant retired. They wanted a coach who looked like Bear, acted like Bear, and talked like Bear. That's why Coach Stallings was so quickly accepted.
That, and the fact that he won ballgames. Love Coach Stallings man and he was just what we needed when we needed him. Of all the famous quotes he authored the one that always rings in my ear, "if you don't think Vanderbilt is a big game, try losing it." Wise words indeed.

It’s not these four teams that scare me, it’s the struggling team with revenge on their mind 24/7 and the game is at their place.

Definitely worrisome.
