Why has Bama been terrible on both sides of the line for 4 or 5 years?

Show me the hardware Mike Leach won with his offense...
Oh, I agree. Not advocating for the full-bore Leach offense. Just noting its similarities to our scheme.

We aren’t ever going to be a team that routinely pounds the ball 40 times a game for 250 yards under DeBoer, but we need to get to a level where the run game is at least respectable. I don’t think DeBoer wants to run the full fledged Leach scheme because we have some power formations and we use tight ends.
 
Kirby Smart and Gus Malzahn beg to differ.
Well being the big Alabama fan that you are, you will be happy to remember how Alabama is fairing against her 4 biggest rivals, despite her D not being perfect:

UGA: Alabama has won 10 of 12, CKD 2-1
UT: Alabama has won 17 of 19, CKD 1-1
LSU: Alabama has won 15 of 18, CKD 2-0
AU: Alabama has won 14 of 18, 6 in a row, CKD 2-0

From the internet on 5* Keon Keely:
He was rated by the On3 recruiting service as the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2023 college football recruiting class with a 99.35 rating. Rivals.com rated him as the No. 5 recruit nationally. He was also rated as the top pass rusher in the 2023 college football recruiting class.

So what did Alabama decide-- he needed to gain significantly more, no longer a credible outside linebacker?

Grew a bunch... too big for OLB. Now learnign a new position and getting used to SEC level physicality.

I am hopeful we see him reach the promised land next year.
