'Opportunity of lifetime': DeBoer takes over Tide

Kalen DeBoer, who guided Washington to a Pac-12 championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff National Championship game this past season, was named the next head coach at Alabama, replacing the retired Nick Saban.

Other than lack of ties to SEC and Saban, I'm happy. Given how replacing Bryant went, its arguable that a complete change might be something some would like. My only concern going in is who is going to be his DC. Really don't want to see a PAC12 view of defense.

I thought the Washington DC did rather well in the NC game. It was clear they were outmatched and overpowered on that side of the ball, but after he made adjustments, the defense is what kept them in the game. I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do with Alabama talent.

There's a lot to like here. To state the obvious, I think his success will be determined by how well he learns the area and the relationships he makes with HS coaches so that he can recruit effectively. The BAMA brand will help with this, of course, but if he can recruit well, I think the sky is the limit.

I'm a bit nervous still. I've seen these things fall apart when everything appeared to be a done deal. I hope we have a locked up conclusion before the end of the day.

Get that man out of purple and put some Crimson on him. Bring his daughter to play softball also.

Nick Saban will help with all of this, plus fundraising. We will be JUUUUUUUST FINE!

Beautiful family!

I hope this pans out and I hope our success continues for at least another 17 years.

He'll be fine, I'm liking this hire the more I learn about him, they should do what ever it takes to get him down here.

Yep, that's a great way to start for sure. He brings a lot to the table and hopefully guys who were eyeing the portal and taking a step back now.
