Alabama Football: Coach DeBoer Press Conference

[@steventorrence1803]

This man took over for the GOAT, went 9-3 in the regular season of his first year at Bama and first year in the SEC, and most of these "FANS " leaving some of these comments act like ya'll are the ones out there on that field every weekend putting your heart and soul into every play. I feel our BANDWAGON getting thinner and thinner. But, I think that's great news. We love ya coach and are fully behind you and whatever decisions you make. Signed by: Real Bama Fans ROLL TIDE ROLL!

STFU. This guy was left with a roster good enough to make a 12 field playoff and just get a horrible job. He produced two of our most embarrassing losses in tide history with vandy and OU. The OU loss with so much on the line was inexplicable. This coaching staff let the players and fans down. I’m a 1992 grad and give my money to this program and expect more

[@braydenbabysmom08]

I am Bama fan through and through and seeing/reading some of these comments I am absolutely flabbergasted. This man had less than a year to get this team together and what he did with them was not horrible! We are spoiled and now everyone is getting a dose of humble pie! NIL and the transfer portal has changed the landscape of this game. College football is now like JR NFL and the drive is completely different! That's why I don't watch pro ball! In my observation when guys go into the NFL it's all about the money... Well look at NCAA ftbl now...the passion that getting to the NFL is dwindling. I am happy with where we are. While it's on the coaches it's also on the players and they to had a short amount of time to get this new way under their belt! I suggest everyone calm down and give Coach Deboer some grace and give the guys some grace as well. Show them your support rather than your spoiled disgust!

[@JamesClark-fn2db]

I agree give him time to get his personnel in. Last year he came in late so his guys will be different and the scheme different

[@chrissholes5471]

Baloney!! They had 60 minutes 12 times, and they were absent at least 390 minutes! They-coaches and players-blew it!!

[@MegaRealreality]

I agree with the last comment. This was a miserable failure.....everyone else has to deal with NIL and portal too. You allowed Milroe to destroy this brand by making it all about him. Caleb Odom, Kobe Prentice and Kendrick Law are leaving because the ball is not being distributed. Since when did this become the Milroe show . You don't stick with a guy when the offense is not productive. Nick pulled Hurts in a natty game and put Tua in and it work. You have try something when we cannot move the ball. To finish a game with 3 points with Bamas talent is inexcusable. Fix it faster get shown the door . This was not a 10 million coaching job. We can take a loss but you cannot lose games you are supposed to easily win. That happened this year. This is Bama, get with it. And btw, no more ice cream trucks. RTR

[@Bama22rolltide]

We were all hoping for more than one game this postseason, and we're disappointed with the outcome. You did an impressive job in your first year and are coming close to making the playoffs. It's easy for us as fans to play Monday morning quarterback, but we can't dwell on the past. You have dedicated fans who will continue to support you and the team wholeheartedly. Our program has high standards, as does our conference. Remember, steel sharpens steel; now you understand what the SEC is about and what needs to be done moving forward. Roll Tide!

[@RollumsTidums34]

Shake it off, Coach! Despite what many “fans” are saying, many of us appreciate you for coming to Alabama and trying to put your mark on it. We know you aren’t going backwards and we can look forward to a better outcome next year! Roll Tide!

Geez, guys. 1st year - 9 wins, maybe 10. Most Bama wins by 1st yr coach is 9. Saban was 7-6, Bryant was 5-4-1 his 1st yr. The CFP committee couldn't overlook the Oklahoma collapse. Worst Bama has played in about 20 years. I've bled Crimson since 1961. I'm not panicking. DeBoar will be just fine. Won't be surprised if Bama wins a NC by 2027.

[@pc3244]

there is a reason saban left so abruptly, deboer had to deal with what saban didn't want to. patience, some fans will never be satisfied. the committee is sending the message that playing a tough schedule isn't a priority, big mistake imo.

[@chrissholes5471]

Get real. Saban is 73 years old.

[@pc3244]

@@chrissholes5471 lol

[@popeyedave8253]

Bama only returned 5 starters on Offense and 4 on Defense. Had to replace the entire Secondary. He inherited a run first QB and an O Line that set a school record for sacks given up under Saban at 49. On top of that he had 6 months to teach players the new shcemes, 3 months or less to teach the freshmen. Some of you "fans" need to chill.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Jalen is a far better passer than he gets credit for. It’s hard to be any kind of consistent as a passer when your protection consistently fails almost as soon as the ball is being snapped. And they weren’t exactly doing a phenomenal job at picking up their blocks and moving guys off their spot in the run game either. They would occasionally show the ability to do both of those things. But it was going from being absolutely dominant one minute, to just seeming to play with no discipline and effort the very next moment. Jalen was one of the few guys on the entire offense that was giving everything he could at all times, and at points it eventually took its toll on him as well. And that shouldn’t have been surprising to anyone. It would have done the same thing to anyone, and it would’ve happened much faster for most people in that situation.

[@popeyedave8253]

@HawgWyldFishing While he is a decent passer and doesn't get enough credit. He still struggled with progressions and seeing the whole field. His throws though hurried at times were wildly inaccurate. The entire Offense was Jekyll and Hyde this year.

[@Fred-t8q]

Are you serious. 5 starters on Offense and 4 starters on defense for a team that won the SEC championship and went undefeated in the league. Give me a break, please.

[@MrYelder1]

@@Fred-t8q if he’s lying, prove it instead of the bs. If you have any data that says otherwise, we are here for it otherwise I do believe it’s true about the starters being 5 offensive and 4 defensive. Hell Ryan Williams even arrived during the summer. This team overachieved when everyone predicted them to be a 4 or 5 loss team from the regular season.

[@Fred-t8q]

@ there’s not one credible football analyst that predicted 4 or 5 losses for this team and certainly no one predicted losses to Vandy. Bama losses about half their started every year (have been this way for the past decade) and we still manage to win 10/11 games.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Keep your heads up coach. You still have one game left to win this season. Let’s go kick michigans ass and get a little get back for both your Washington team and Alabamas team that got bested by the Wolverines last season. Don’t wanna end up being Ohio State and squander a good opportunity to finish the season with 10 wins and a strong finish for our out going seniors. It was still a great season by my expectations. Disappointments happen, and while this season had a few sprinkled in. I refuse to be told that this season as a whole was a disappointment. This season for me was honestly more of a sigh of relief than I feel like it should’ve reasonably been expected to be. We had those two unexpected losses, sure. But, they were only unexpected, because of the fact that we won all of the marquee matchup games on then schedule, save 1. Every last one of them but the game in Neyland. From the road trip to Camp Randall, to the electrifying home game against UGA, the complete shut down of Mizzou, the road game to Baton Rouge that was done in emphatic fashion, and most importantly, stomping out the kitty chickens across the state. It was a great first season in total to me. I know a lot of clueless fans and apparently these clueless folks they have picked to ask you questions today, all seem to think that guys will be opting out, as if these guys who are seniors didn’t help continue to set and carry a standard of commitment to excellence that should be expected to be carried on for the future years to come. You don’t commit to and stay at a program like Alabama, to suddenly decide at the very end, that your “me”, is bigger than your commitment to the excellence of your teams “we”.. Roll Tide Coach!! Let’s go kick some Wolverine ass!

Get rid of your starting qb, he was a 2 year project and his issues are GLARING and honestly handicap the team. Defense could never catch a break because the qb cannot manage the other side. Do that & get the offense rolling i mean they claimed you were an offensive guru unless it was Ryan grubb this whole time. From what ive seen i see bama being slightly above average team each year under deboer, may make a few playoff appearances. Roll Tide

[@Matt-id1hp]

Brother it's a transition year. Fantastic, if confusing, results for a first year that indicate future success. And Milroe ain't the problem, we had several studs on offense leave after Saban announced his retirement, leaving Milroe to pick up the slack resulting in an offense that relies overwhelmingly and unfairly on the QB. Not to say we don't have offensive weapons, but we need a better arsenal to take some of that weight off of Milroe.

college football now rewards playing a soft schedule, beating nobody of note and just bows down to the wokes and crybabies, Saban saw it coming and bailed on this mess of a sport, I won't be supporting any of this joke of a playoff. Bama would be better served to go independent, play 11 soft teams and cake walk to the title game, as the playoff committee has proven is what they want....... FACT: smwho plays bama's schedule they lose at least 7 games min, if Bama's 3rd string played smwho's schedule they go undefeated and are sitting at 1 and with a bye,, college football is a broken mess that will only get worse. Even so this team got full of money and chains and doing interviews and choked their selves out of the playoffs, but still shows how broken the system is and it will only get worse.
