Kalen DeBoer hired to Replace Nick Saban - CONFIRMED by Greg Byrne

[CajunCrimson]

Chris Low is going to sell a lot of books in the next 2-3 years, I’m guessing

So is Saban…

I am rolling my eyes at people on other boards trying to compare him to Harsin. Harsin wasn't exactly missed when he left Boise. The general consensus is Washington fans are pretty broken up about this. CKD took a 4-8 Washington team and had them playing in the national title game in two years. While going 7-0 Against Lincoln Riley, Sark, and Lanning.

Great hire IMO!! Welcome CKD!!

Really wish someone would make the official announcement.
Chris Low and 100 plus others is official enough foe me.

I think our AD is excited ... as am I!

 

[BamaInBham]

Wolford not working out is a head scratcher for me. How can you be successful at Kentucky as a O-line coach but struggle at Alabama??

He as at UK for only 1 year, at USCe for several.

 

[westide]

Then the DB's will never turn their heads to find the ball.

And DeBoer will have to fire the DB coach.

 

[AlistarWills]

Quite literally the absolute best candidate out there. Home run.

The haters want to run with the idea that Norvell, Sark, Lanning (what a joke) turned Bama down, when this man just beat 2 of them 3x this season, and Norvell has really proven nothing.

Some are saying he was at the top all along. Jimmy Sexton was working out pay raises for the rest of “the list” (and himself) who are all his clients.

Guess it's time to watch some UW games from last season to see what we can learn...

 

[Rollingtide]

Great interview with a guy that covers UW about KD.

 

[LA BamaCarl]

I believe our AD has made great hires in both major sports. He knows what he's doing.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I think it is a great hire! Not my first choice, but I will take it!

Packed house on A-Day 2024!!! You watch!!!! Dude will be in utter awe!!!

Wait. I was tracking the second one for Freeze. Did he do the first as well?!?

I'll be there along with the 3 generations behind me 😁

 

[twofbyc]

Sark's history (as well as some of his behavior at sexat) made me wary of him - I've seen nor heard anything about DeBoer that gives me pause.

GREAT hire, imo.

Those worried about recruiting need to chill. He'll be fine.

Not for nothing - KD is 2-0 vs Sark

Yes

Yes

Yikes! That goes beyond sleaze to straight creep/predator.

No doubt. That's why many Auburn fans aren't supporting him. Couldn't understand why Liberty, a Christian university, hired him. I'm about second chances, but I'm not convinced he deserves it yet. Talk with no action...
