Was Kalen DeBoer truly the right hire to handle Alabama football in the post Nick Saban era?
The jury is out on the answer, but the players for the Crimson Tide love him.
Fans have been frustrated with the inconsistent performances from the Tide all season. Alabama’s losses to Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Oklahoma came because of self-inflicted mistakes on offense and defense. All three opponents capitalized on the Tide’s miscues and Alabama finds itself out of Southeastern Conference Championship contention and hanging on by the thinnest of margins for the 12-team College Football Playoff. Some supporters of Tide football wonder if Greg Byrne made the right call on DeBoer, but an Alabama team captain said Wednesday on “Hey Coach” that the program could not have picked a better guy.
