Loved how he said " last year WE were a 12-2 team in national title semis" loving what he's doin every day, got all the confidence in the world. This 1st season will be the "easiest" to win a NC. All the players are hongry, they feel disrespected, highly energetic, embraced the new staff, and have experience against SEC,now I know Deboer doesn't, BUT the rest of the SEC don't have tape on Deboer at Bama, what he can do w this talent.

Great analogy. The past few years it felt to me that Saban had a Ferrari but drove it like a Buick, unless he absolutely had to put the pedal to the metal. I think DeBoer is going to floor it from the opening possession. Win or lose, we're going to put up a bunch of points.

I moved to Alabama at 7 years old an my team, ND, won a national championship that year. So when i got older life as an ND fan in Alabama, after 93, was tough. So they are my sports nemesis. My sisters and several friends and family are fans. I'm also a huge cfb fan so I respect them and what Saban was able to do. After saying that i think they made a great hire with Kalen Deboer. He is a winner and great coach to pass the torch to imo. He just wins and especially wins at home. They few losses didn't come in front a home crowd, covid the exception with one, which is incredible to me. I wish they had made a bad hire😂 but unfortunately i think they got this one right😢😂

[@tdwagner1]

[@sc100ott]

The expanded playoff is going to take some pressure off of DeBoer. Up until now, the expectation has been 12-0 or 11-1 plus an SEC title, and a trip to the 4-team playoff. Up until this year, 10-2 wouldn’t cut it at a place like Alabama. But going forward, 10-2 (possibly even 9-3) will still get you into the playoff, and a shot at redemption.

[@chrisendsley5724]

Yeah boy things have sure changed since my youth, ALL the New Years bowls mattered, listening to most games on the radio. Remembering like 84 with TV contracts and more now all games became televised. Then we get all the conference expanding and dying. The BCS then the 4 team playoff and now a new format. It's awesome. Nice interview. Good luck and God Bless Coach.

Roll Damn Tide! Lot of faith in Alabama Athletics, not a coincidence two of the greats did it at Alabama. I’m excited about this hire, while also, it’s bittersweet having watched Saban Retire. We always knew it would come, we always knew we were in an unbelievable and extremely uncommon era. Although thanks to Saban, the standard has become more common, there are more and more constantly successful programs, happy to see Saban stick around, his foundation along with the foundation at Alabama prior to him, along with this fantastic coach and his principles, everything will be great. Won’t be easy, but it’s possible to reach new heights in many ways. Regardless, ROLL TIDE ROLL! 🐘 🏈 🌊

this was GREAT! thank you. It is interesting to see how he works it, and your questions were EXCELLENT. so we learn alot form this, AL will morph into a slightly different version but at the same time most of the SEC morphed away from the Saban model except for UGA. Who are the best teams in the SEC? Nevertheless this is more of an offensively oriented staff and they are good at that. Most of the SEC is that way now. Therefore the defense has to be very good too, but not better maybe. He beat TX 2x in 2 years so I am confident he can mold it into the needs of excellence. Best Wishes KDeB!
