When audio was released of Kirby and Saban talking after SEC championship, Nick said “you were right about one thing, I’m too old for this” Kirby immediately corrected him, but followed that up with “I appreciate everything you taught me coach” that sounded like a respectful and admirable “farewell my friend” and I really felt like Saban was done after the playoffs. The best to ever do it, got all the respect in the world for the man, but I’m glad we have Kirby and that HUGE road block we ran into every year, just got a bit more manageable.

As a lifelong Bama fan that lived through some lean years, I LOVE this hire. Just remember, this isn't 2007. Saban left Bama WORLDS better than when he found it. All we need is a guy that knows how to win to steer the ship. I think DeBoer is that guy. Fanbase needs to give him a chance, schedule is BRUTAL next year but I think we are fine long-term

KDB seems like a very decent choice and I’m a little surprised that some fans weren’t happy with him. I’m sure he knows exactly what he’s walked into ie the program, the person he’s replacing, the expectations etc etc My money would be on him to keep doing what he’s doing so by that logic Alabama should be a decent spot next season.

Husky nation is gutted. Huge bummer for the players, fan base, and program. So sad to see him leave so soon. Definitely a great coach/leader. Only question mark though, was recruiting. Most of the talent on the UW team was already there, recruited by the previous staff. DeBoer brought MPJ and a few other players in, but a lot of talent was already on the team (receivers, o-line, defensive players) and underforming due to the lack of leadership and no star QB. He had the perfect storm for immediate success. DeBoer has been on the move every couple of seasons to new jobs recently, so it'll be interesting to see how he proves himself over the long term 🤷‍♀

@EricaBliss I know you guys are. The gold standard HC job in CFB is Bama, and Saban, Byrne and DeBoer executed a perfect chess move. Us old fans are thrilled that he wanted to be a part of our program, the Process, the Dynasty. I hope you guys are very happy with your new HC. He too came from someone else’s school who is gutted at their loss. We always got ticked about Saban’s best underlings getting poached. But CFB is a business first, and trees will fall only to be transplanted somewhere else. I know we got the best man for Alabama, and I wish you the best success. It hurts. It will always happen though. Maybe it won’t happen again for a long, long, successful time.

Any Bama fan over 30 should be thrilled. Just remember all of those searches in the past where the candidate had to have a connection to Alabama or Bryant. Gave us some real doozies in Mike Dumbose and Mike Shula. Saban rescued Bama. He was the best coach available and the way I see it so is DeBoer.

Why didn't you want Saban?

Kalen is a good hire from an Xs and Os standpoint and seems like a good dude. My big question is not what's on the field but off it. Can he recruit and more importantly how much control will he have at setting the tempo and culture at Bama. Saban had a unique way of running his program that very few could match. Does the fans, boosters, donors, etc. fully except Kalens way? Or quietly are they whispering that's not what Saban would do. That is going to be the big question for me. Bama needs to go all in on Kalen and effectively commit to the whatever type of program he wants to run. Not just lips service or changes in some ways but everything. Anything less and it won't work

Just surround him with some great recruiters that know the SEC footprint and he will be fine. Great X's and O's coach. Great gameplan coach. Saban was the GOAT, but he saw that he was tired and kept his word. He would not ride the program down by staying too long. What a gift. Thanks Coach Saban and welcome Coach DeBoer.

All things considered, this is about as good as you can hope for as a Bama fan. Saban showed his unselfishness and bowed out while the team was still at the top. DeBoer is setup to succeed and chances are he will.

When I heard that Byrne was considering DeBoer, my reaction was ecstatic. Everyone has been fawning over Dan Lanning, but Lanning took over a program that has been recruiting well for about 2 decades and was well stocked by Christobal and DeBoer came into a program that has been very inconsistent and has had frequent turnover in the coaching staff and he beat Lanning twice even though Lanning had the advantage on resources. I think it’s a great hire and I am eager to see what he can do with the machine he is inheriting.

Just a quick question - since DeBoer was at Fresno for 2 years and Washington for two years, how many of his starters at those teams were players he recruited vs ones he inherited from the coaches before him?

Very very few. At UW the team was mostly 6yr seniors and players recruited by Jimmy Lake. Shocking considering Jimmy was a shit recruiter. Only Penix and a few others transferred to play for DeBoer.

As an Alabama fan from Alabama, I love it!

A couple of weeks ago Josh said “I’m not even sure people know how to spell Kalen Daboer in Alabama” or the south, but regardless, you were right about that

How is it more logical to conclude that DeBoer was the first choice? You expect us to believe that Bama waited more than 24 hours to leak they were in negotiations with their top choice? I call BS. He was at least their second.

Alabama instantly becomes explosive offensively. Very dynamic passing game. Saban made Bama offensive because of the game. This guy thinks offensive.

Thanks Josh@ Ive watched a few other podcasts (yours is the BEST) but they did all say what you are saying for the most part. DeBoer is a great coach, disciplined, hard working and a great offensive coach. Thank you for all you do!! God bless! ROLL TIDE!! 🐘🐘🐘🐘

You are the best. Love watching you. I’m so excited about Bama’s new hire for college football. RTR

As a lifelong UW fan I find it sad that no one seems to care that his leaving means gutting UW and it's future. The mass exodus will leave us in tatters, all because he left.

This was a great take. Believe it or not, this is very hard for any coach to come to Alabama, After the Goat. This is a great opportunity for him, the university, and the fans. I hope all the players buy in.

Thanks, I’m feeling better about our coach.

Bama nailed it. The guys who know ball in the media are very very impressed. I love it.

Your take on this situation is how I know you’re the best college football Channel there is in the business! Great take.

JOSH, Deboer just pulled the 38th ranked recruiting class in a year they made the playoff. That's comical

Josh was gonna hype whomever Bama hired

This is a good hire, I told my friend who is a bama fan. I was impressed what he did with Washington in 2 years

Klatt called it. I liked his take, I also really enjoy Josh's take here. Great point about being 5 and OH against the two guys who supposedly turned down the Bama job before DeBoer got it

He can coach. Lets see how successful he is at recruiting his own players. Never understood people saying Dan Lanning is a proven winner. Just 2 years at Oregon and it seems like most everyone does well until they get plucked by another school. We will see how good Lanning is in the years to come in the Big 10.

@mollyclum2302

Lanning is a winner…..5 losses in 2 years. One to the eventual national champions (first game ever as HC), 3 times to national championship runner up in Washington. They absolutely should not have lost to the Beavers in 2022. You are a winner when you can count on one hand how many losses you have over multiple seasons.

This was a monster hire!

Everyone needs to buy in to this and support this guy

Born and raised in Fresno. He did magical things here in the Central Valley

The fact that he's confident enough to follow Saban says a lot about who this guy is. The last thing Alabama needed was a coach that was afraid of Nick's and Bear's legacy.

@CalvinK225

Lmao. Hopefully Bama fans don’t think it will just continue to roll as normal, if so, they will be let down. This is an entire program change to his way of doing things, then he has to recruit, keep players from entering the portal, etc.

@tonyrmathis

4 ай бұрын

@@CalvinK225 Personally I think the expanded playoffs, portal and paying the players is the biggest reason Saban retired. It's one thing to recruit players based on NFL prospects and convincing parents you'll watch over their kid but then to have to sell them on earnings potential from ad revenue. Based on everything I've heard about Saban's recruiting style I just can't see him doing that but many other most certainly would. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if all this doesn't end up ruining college football.

Can’t wait to see what bama can do with a new coach we will see yall guys soon Goooo Dawgs Sickem

105-12. He is a winner in multiple places. Welcome to Alabama Coach DeBoer! Roll Tide Roll! Oh and please bring your OC with you!

We'll see. Best hire they can go with given what's going on, and he's had success with mildly inferior rosters, might be unreal with great rosters possible if they can retain most of the talent there.

I remember all those comments about Meyer and Saban. Football is football and coaching is coaching. I remember Bama fans laughing about Saban going to LSU because he was a "tyrant" and none of his assistants came with him.

I’m a bama fan and I’m excited by this hire, now would I rather have nick saban, of course who wouldn’t he’s the G. O. A. T. but I like this hire. U never know how these things will play out cause we can’t see the future, but I think this guys a winner and with the bama program he’ll have every advantage to bring his coaching to the next level and that includes having saban at his disposal, if he’s smart he’ll take full advantage of that.

Love your videos!!!

Well JP, I know what I’ll catch from some Bama ‘fans’ for saying this but I don’t worry about them, so here goes: I LIKE IT. I trust Saban, we have a really great top drawer AD, and I LIKE IT. I like it, I trust the heads that be at my Bama, and I LIKE IT. It’s going to be a transition. But everything is transitional now with the portal and NIL and CFB as I’ve known it for decades is dead, dead, dead as a door nail, so let’s light this candle! The Saban era is gone, but he’ll still be whispering. Trust the process. RTR 🐘🏈 Kalen DeBoer, welcome to Alabama, welcome home, sweet home! Edit: Yes, born in Bama, been for Bama since the Bear, seen it all. I definitely remember all the Saban naysayers when he stepped off the plane. They don’t remember panning Saban but ooooh, I remember them pouring out the hate. I’ve seen it all. Gonna see some more, RTR! WELCOME HOME, KALEN DEBOER!!!

Excellent hire, probably the best they could have made!!

Great job, Josh. Huge fan.
