Kalen DeBoer not surprised by how challenging the SEC is in first year at Alabama

He has to do things his way and build his own winning culture in Alabama football, but how does Kalen DeBoer do it?

In his first season as the Crimson Tide’s head coach, he is 5-2 through seven games. Alabama is not a top 10 team in the nation right now and is in danger of not making the College Football Playoff. He has been in tough moments throughout his coaching career, including last year at Washington in leading it to the CFP National Championship Game, but expectations are different in the Southeastern Conference. DeBoer is not surprised by how challenging the SEC is, but he needs to find ways to be successful.
