With what’s going on up North I wouldn’t be so fast to shout out michigan man.
All going on at one time you had:
Harbaugh and Conor Stallions ordeal…while his OC was already sleeping w/his assistant and knocking her up…while down the hall his assistant was hacking school computers to get nudes of students…michigan men…😳

I had First Take on in the background. The panelists were Jeff Saturday, I believe Louis Riddick , and Mad Dog Russo. RUSSO raked Bama fans over the coals with his rant about how Bama fans treat Kalen DeBoer. Jeff Saturday piled on . And it struck me that we are judged by 15-20% of our fanbases actions. Painted with a broad brush with The lunatic fringe if you will. And that Idiot Finebaum fans the flames of discontent. Add to that, after the FSU loss, many of the national sports media were leading the charge to can CKD . It’s a little tiresome hearing this all the time.

On an unrelated note, Jeff Saturday’s daughter attends U of A, and Saturday attends Bama games View attachment 54862

It's gets tiresome how we get slammed for being hard on coaches when it happens at other schools also. Anytime a coach has a run of success at a school who don't even have the history nowhere near as good as Alabama their fans act (IMO) just as bad.

I see this going one of two ways.

Perhaps we have yet to see DeBoer's true system, he hasn't been at any FBS stop too long, despite the transfer portal and 26 5th and 6th year players at Washington, he might just never have put his true staff and team together. I tend to think not because of the portal and him seeming to be able to get almost everyone he wanted on staff at Alabama. But, it is still possible he just hasn't been able to place the keystone yet, the thing that makes it all work together on offense.

In that case, I'm curious to see who else he brings in and what changes he makes to facilitate that.

The other, is kind of as you alluded to and I would add wouldn't be unlike what Saban must have had in mind when he tried to hire Grubb. He wasn't going to just run DeBoer/Grubb's scheme. He was as he did with all the other OC's going to adapt it to Alabama and the SEC. That's what I'm kind of what I'm hoping for, that fusion of SEC style physicality and his west coast offense.

On another thing though that makes this difficult, is being in the playoff makes dealing with staff and roster issues really hard. If Alabama lost, they'd already be eyeing the portal and the staff changes, but as it is they are very much in a "don't rock the boat" type situation Saban got stuck in as well.

Saban had to make choices that sometimes were not the best long-term, because he was focused on competing for championships. So it's easy to say oh DeBoer should do this with his staff, or what have you, but what I think we all want the most is for Alabama to compete for a championship, and they have a shot this year to do that so the rest might just have to wait.

I believe it’s going to have to be an evolution of his offense. Similar to when coach Saban brought in Kiffin. The finesse and trickery of the west coast will not hold up in the SEC. As someone else already pointed out Michigan pushed around that Washington team coach DeBoer carried to the championship game. I think if he can combine his philosophy with a little more power and consistency in the run game his offense will be dominant. I would also like to see a change in the routes ran by the receivers but honestly a good run game would help that as well.

In retrospect, should have used the “Blue Font”…

I thought it would be obvious, though, that I found a bit of irony in a post calling out someone for spelling Coach DeBoer’s name wrong…but in doing so, misspelling the word “spelling” 🤪

Fun fact: "Misspelled" is the most misspelled word in the English language, and is still misspelled even when spelled correctly! ;)

DeBoer built his offenses based on the talent he had. He will adjust. But he needs to adjust faster. He just does.

He just makes me feel Bill Curry-ish and I just don’t see him here long term.

You have a good point about adjusting quicker. I even felt like Womack should have adjusted quicker with more pressure the other night. I’m glad he did and it worked out.

If he keeps getting into the playoffs every year and past the first round, its going to be tough to get rid of him.

Idk this team seems like a big jump from last year. Last year we didn't seem to have much fight. This year we started out rough and obviously the SECCG was rough but we fought back more often.

The big question to me though is what happens when Kane gets a HC job. Replacing him will not be easy.

Kane will probably be a bit more choosy on where he goes than most former assistants. He was a successful G5 coach and a son of a successful father at the college level. So he probably isn’t jumping ship to some directional school in the G5.
