Where ever there's BBQ, Bourbon & Football
I can’t even imagine guys doing this on the field on past teams.

They would have been ate up by guys like Rolando McClain or Hightower or Foster or Jonathan Allen etc before CNS could even get to them.

Former players have to be seeing absolute RED watching this horse crap.
I wish a few of them would show up to the facility and tell players and coaches if theyre not willing to commit everything they've got to this program then leave. That they are an embarrassment.

I'm beyond confused as to how the man was able to express himself well enough during formal interviews to be hired. Someone on here mentioned " word salads " . I must agree. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but the things I'm reading about how he handles or maybe I should say doesn't handle the team is really concerning. People in and out of the motel the team was staying in at all hours .... also heard they were ordering door dash into the middle of the night I don't know if it's true but the team sure doesn't play with any intensity or Energy. I sure hope someone can get in KD ear and tell him where he is who he is coaching .... and it ain't Washington !!!!

He sounds like a guys who has watched a lot of football but never coached a team at any level, much less major college football. It would be funny if you thought he was doing it as a spoof of a college coach.

Nothing about DeBoer's time at Alabama gives me any confidence in his coaching, or his ability to run a major program. Nothing. Someone in his org can recruit, but that's unrelated.

Every time I see him or hear him I think he's a fan who won some kind of contest where being a head coaching for game is the prize...only they're letting him do it for the season.

Somebody needs to make him read the transcript so he will see what he sounds like...

Word is he and his family dont like Tuscaloosa... I hope this doesnt result in our version of Brian Harsin, tank the program so you can get all your money...

Sheesh man. Can't watch his pressers due to coach speak but reading the transcript is even worse.

Courtney Morgan can recruit. He leaves and this thing will implode.

So he acknowledges there were players with bouts of lack of effort. Yet his answer to that acknowledgement is way too politically correct. He never directly said one negative thing toward or about the players for it. They should have had their butts publicly called out as a group and DeBoer should have made it publicly known he wasn't going to tolerate it. But, he didnt...
I just watched that abomination of a press conference and its was painful to sit through the entire thing. If what he's doing on the field and with the players is similar to how he conducts PC's lord help up. He should be kicking major azz but he's dodging and tip toeing around. Very disappointed in that press conference attitude. It seems like what Im seeing on that podium is reflected in what we're seeing on the field.

I hope what you heard is wrong. If those things are happening we've got a 3 ALARM FIRE! That is a complete lack of team focus and discipline. That is NOT a winning culture, it's one built to lose. I REALLY hope that is bad info.

Harsin didnt care. He reveled in twisting Auburn.

There are about 6 programs in the country where it is 16hr/365 day commitment, 4 of them are in the SEC. And very few coaches will commit that requirement. Even Dabo wont give you that. And apparently no coach hailing from Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota are willing. 4 months out of the year up there you cant even go outside.

Personally it makes me MAD ..... I mean does he even care ????????

He’s got a beta personality in a profession that demands natural alpha qualities. Players won’t respect that.

On the effort question, I could just hear him addressing a player/great kid: “Hey ______ , you know how we’ve talked about being intentional? Yeah, gonna need to see a bit more of that next week. Great effort overall though (pats on back), so don’t get discouraged…”

There are the Pete Carrolls of the world who can succeed and buddy around some, but they usually have a ton of charisma… and I don’t see much of that here either.
