Kalen to Bama. Done deal

that's a fine take if you're an out of touch boomer. doesn't change the fact that Alabama had a coach from Ohio and LSU has a coach from Massachusetts
DeBoer has proven success at the P5 level, Harsin never did. stupid take.
How much Saban steps out of DeBoer’s way (or not) intrigues me. On one hand, he could seamlessly transition to broadcasting on
E(SEC)PN. On the other hand, Saban really wanted DeBoer’s OC (Grubb) last offseason. He could be a huge advantage in DeBoer’s back pocket.
Regardless, as long as DeBoer wins at a high level like the outsider Urban Meyer did at Florida, that’ll be plenty good enough to fit into the southern “culture.”

Not an out of touch angry boomer like you, just someone that's lived in the South. DeBoer is a great coach and he might do well there, but he will face a bigger learning curve (just like Saban did when he started) than other guys like Sarkisian and Norvell. Nothing stupid about that take. It's just common sense. You backed yourself into a corner with name calling and no real rebuttal because you wanted to dunk on a newbie.
Congrats on being my first ignore.
Every indication is that DeBoer’s players love him. He’s coming in with credibility given their playoff appearance. He also doesn’t have the baggage Harsin did. DeBoer is a grounded midwestern guy. He’ll do fine if he wins enough to keep the boosters off his back. Public support from Nick can help DeBoer a lot.
If he wins they will build him a statue and he will be universally loved. If he fails they will send him packing one day. They couldn't care less where he grew up.....
I'm sure those idiots are probably thinking they're gonna get Ryan Grubb because he's an "Iowa" guy. If they only knew someone like that wouldn't throw away their career to just do it KKKirks way.
That's true. Guys like Harsin and Petrino are the cautionary tales though. Outsiders get a shorter grace period to start winning. DeBoer needs to keep his nose clean and use the Rhule playbook to hit the ground running. Go around the state. Meet lots of people. Show that you want to be there.
I wonder if Jonathan Smith regrets taking the Michigan State job now? He would have been a shoo-in for the Washington job.
I have no opinion, but I heard a lot of speculation Trev had someone else in mind (Leipold?) but Ted Carter was high on Rhule from when Temple played Navy and forced Trev's hand.
I can tell you for a fact that many Bama fans are fired up right now about him....
I wear being a Boomer on my sleeve like a badge of honor. Because I have lived longer than I should have after doing so much crazy shit, and I devoured all the resources and advantages that came my way like a locust to set myself up for a nice life.
There was one nimrod on here that tried to advance that theory. I’ve heard nothing to support that from a few boosters of substance that I know. It was Rhule or Fickell.
Ain't that the fvckin truth.....everyone who didn't ride in the back of Dad's pickup truck is a candy ass.
I flipped a buddy out of the back of our pickup while he was trying to rope a horse from the bed. 🤣. Lucky I didn’t kill him.
I would. I'll do it for half what Deboer is doing it for. They can fire me and I'll even leave out whatever door they want quiet as a mouse.
Was my first though too. Washington is a better job than msu, location wise idk, never been to either state.
We rode in the back standing up and flexing muscles going 60 down the highway and the highway patrol waved at us.....Good Times
U Dub fans getting a little crazy. Geez
Did the Admin at Alabama even think about this issue?
Unfortunately, Saban will cast a big dark shadow over the program like Osborne. Saban already said he will be around and happy to help. DeBoer has a tough act to follow. A standard that will likely never be met. Bad for him.
One of my favorite movie quotes and fits the loser mindset on this board perfectly.
"It's the Big 12!"
Funny how now it is just assumed they are a feeder league to be picked over by the P2 conferences
