I’m only 23 so Nick Saban was always a coach I hated, and loved at the same time, but ALWAYS respected. Kalen deboer is a great coach and I wish him and Alabama the best. Roll tide AND Gigem Aggies!

Congratulations to Alabama! I am an Ohio State Buckeyes fan for life. I am proud of the traditions and legacies our previous head coaches have done for the players and the football programs. We have been one of the most respected and consistent teams in the country because of them in large part. I am glad to see Alabama has a very good new head coach taking over a great football coach in history. I think they are both great persons who care deeply for their families and their teams. They are absolutely winners in life. I also appreciate the fact that the new coach allows the previous head coach full access to the program in every aspect and showed his willingness to learn from his predecessor. That’s a very wise thing to do. In business, I have had to deal with key positions transition processes many times. I found it to be absolutely beneficial to allow for this kind of smooth process that almost always lead to successful results! I wish nothing but the best for Kalen DeBoer and his family. I also hope that Nick Saban and his wife Terry would enjoy their twilight years with happiness and fulfillment. God bless you! Lastly, I want to see the football programs at both Ohio State and Alabama be successful and honorable as they have been over through all the years in the past.

Roll Tide Coach DeBoer! I personally feel that he has set the right tone thus far and is a great fit. In that brief speech he was able to effectively express what type of man and Coach that he is and you can tell that he is feeling the energy from that institution that I am familiar as well. He said that last nights welcoming at the airport was almost overwhelming. Again, I feel he touched on all of the right issues and with the right tone. I’m glad Coach Saban and Mrs. Saban will be there to assist with the transition and to help him learn the Crimson Tide culture. I feel Coach Saban will do everything possible to assist. Coach Saban definitely wants Alabama to continue the path of success. Lastly, if you are NOT an Alabama Crimson Tide supporter,…why are you here? I was being facetious because we know why you are here. Everyone wants to know what winners are doing (DYNASTY) Roll Tide! 👊🏽

This feels like a Wallace Wade/Frank Thomas cycle to me. I'm sure Tide fans in the 30's felt we might fall off when Wade left for Duke in 1931. And Bama hired another great coach who also won at an 80% clip or better (the fifth in Tide history to do so). I feel Deboer might surprise people more than disappoint. He's won a lot of big games with less than stellar talent. I understand Washington only had fifteen 4 stars and zero 5 stars on this year's roster. Pretty impressive to go 25-3 there in the past couple of years.

Yeah but he in the Sec west now. Big big difference. It's like LeBron going to the playoffs every year and getting bounced in the west. Hope he does great bc I'm a diehard tide fan but Saban is the goat and anything else is a downgrade

@@FelixRamirez-dc5mh Before Saban came to Lsu he was in same boat as Kalen. As was Meyers. He has Saban to mentor him and offer advice. All left to do is see if he can recruit and use portal if needed. He has shown he is not afraid to use the portal

Alabama is a no nonsense kind of program. They seen the man for the job and they went and got him. I personally don’t think they could have got anyone better. He is a classy guy and a proven winner. He is going to be a great fit. Time for him to make his legacy.

Alabama has ALWAYS been a strong football program. There is no doubt that he's got a tough act to follow. Being the Head Coach after someone like Nick Saban is going to be tougher than he knows. The Boosters & Alumni come down hard when there is even one loss. I'm HOPING THAT HE LIVES UP to be as great as he can be. If he can even come close to being as good as Saban then Bama will be fine!!! Good luck Coach Deboer!! Roll Tide Roll

No doubt! They were even second guessing Saban for choosing Milroe as the #1 QB after that home loss to Texas! And although I trusted Saban's judgement A LOT OF FANS were pissed that we lost by 10 points AT HOME TOO!!! And even though I knew that might happen knowing it was early in the season and that things weren't going well. But IMHO if the defense had played better we would have won that game. But there is also something to be said about controlling the ball long enough that the other team has little time with the football to make points. And that in itself gives the defense a break. The longer the D is on the field the more they have a chance to mess up. EDIT: I do seriously hope that Coach Deboer can RECRUIT & COACH as good as he did in Washington. I hope that he ALSO realizes how hard it is to win in the SEC every week. THE ALABAMA STANDARD itself will help in recruiting HOWEVER, him being new to Alabama he's gonna have to convince recruits to 1) To decide NOT to flip to any of the other great SEC teams! LSU, Georgia, Florida, Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Ole Miss & NOW Texas & Oklahoma AND 2) Convince new & existing recruits that The Alabama program is & will continue to be at the top of the SEC & College Football & the best chance they have at being a high draft pick for the NFL. -AND 3) No matter whether a guy is a 3☆ or a 5☆ recruit that his coaching abilities turn every player into a 5☆ player. Cuz ultimately, what a guy accomplished or didn't in high school doesn't necessarily represent what he can accomplish in college football with the right coaching & team mates. Cuz his accomplishments in high school could have easily been influenced by the team he was a part of. ie: a good or bad offensive line can make a guy look good or bad whether he's a QB or a running back. And receivers & defenders, the competition they face is more telling about success & failure. And 4) he also must surround himself with other HIGH CALIBER Coaches cuz at the end of the day he can't do it all, & the rest of the coaching staff play a huge roll in what the team learns & how the team prepares for every game. And to be honest- I was not particularly impressed by the speech Coach Deboer gave at being introduced as Alabama's New Head Coach. When Saban was introduced in 2007 I was very impressed by his speech. I'm hoping & praying that he is better at coaching than he is at preparing a speech!!! THE 3RD GAME OF THE SEASON WE PLAY GEORGIA AT HOME. THAT GAME FOR Coach Deboer's sake I REALLY HOPE THAT GAME IS A WIN!!!! Roll Tide Roll

One reason I consider coach Paterno among the best coaches is because he was offered the job of the Patriots head coach and promised more money ever paid a coach at that time plus 7 % ownership of the team.
