The move has been made — Kalen DeBoer will replace Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa. Alabama decision makers have opted to hire DeBoer away from Washington, fresh off of his National Title appearance one week ago.

DeBoer was hired by Washington following the 2021 season. He guided the Huskies to a 14-1 record during the 2023 season, following an 11-2 season in 2022. DeBoer turned Fresno State around before that, going from 3-3 to 9-3 from the shortened COVID year to the 2021 season.
