DeBoer's strength is his on-field coaching. The guy is a top 3 coach in the country. Analysts knew that before he came to Alabama. People were saying even with lesser rosters he'd beat top teams. The big question was could he get the recruiting right and feed the 4 and 5 stars into the program. THAT was the ONLY question. If Alabama stays in the top 3-5 in recruiting every year then Alabama is going to be a nightmare for everyone.

Finebaum.... You bend whichever way the wind is blowing.

Actually we are number 1 in the SEC currently, and number 2 in the country as of today. I bet we finish in the top 5 in the country after it all shakes out. Everyone praying for our downfall will not like the recruiting status.

People neglected to do their research on Kaken Deboer. He’s literally won at every level including HS. He’s been a winner way too long to start losing now. Coaching and preparing his team is the easiest part for him. It’s what he’s been doing for over half his life. RTR

People said he couldn't recruit. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Man, listening to this guy reminds me how much I miss Cecil.

Yessir Coach K is cooking

Coach Debo!! 💪🏾

Year 1 is highly possible, saban took over a mediocre roaster, deboer is going in with some BOSSES ROLLIDE 🐘💯

The only question was the recruiting and that’s has been answered. Let’s not forget he beat Texas the team that beat us with way less talent than our 12 five star roster. He also beat Oregon twice in the same year and put 10 guys who were 3-4 star guys in the NFL just as many as we did. I think our coaching staff has been under performing for a while now since Saban’s retirement was hanging as the unknown over the program. You give this guy the most 5 star players in the country which we have this year on the roster, and give him the upgraded coaching staff along with his brilliant offensive mind and we are going to dominate some people and go a long way. The beginning might be a bit of a test like it was last year with Milroe the first few games, but the playoff has been expanded to more teams and we will make it in. By that time, things will be clicking and Bama will be the team that no one wants to play.

Saying that players feel a "freedom" they didn't under Saban, and calling that a positive, seems pretty iffy.

He doesn’t have to have the success of Saban, but there is no reason he can’t be as successful or more successful than Smart. That’s what Bama fans want. Greater success than other CURRENT coaches.

Love it!

I believe that ESPN has continued to show its bias for Alabama.

Caleb DOWNS and Isaiah Bond made a mistake. As far as transfers , thats all we lost. I don't count Roydell Williams.

Lucky enough to have him at Fresno State for one season !

Coach Debo for the win!!!

He is a younger and hungrier Saban. Look out!

12-0!!! RTR

Roll tide 🐘

I believe if Kelly can take lswho to the seccg then kd can win a natty

We still have the talent to compete with Ga.

I could lead this team to 9 wins. That would be unacceptable.

🐘🐘

Wisconsin doesn’t have enough athleticism and speed. They could barely field a viable second team in there spring game.

Yeah, but who gonna be qb?

I'd be good with 9 -3 for his first year. Roll Tide! 🐘

It won't be a bad first year for the ball coach. They may even make the playoffs and advance a round. But he won't win a natty. If he did, that would be absolutely crazy 🤪

Man you guys got too smart and started leaving Finebaum off the thumbnail and the viewable title so people might actually click on it. You got me this time, but I was able to hit pause at the 1 second mark. I guess I just have to block this whole channel now. Fool me once...

Let's just hope it's not another Texas A&M #1 class😂

Great interview w Captain Obvious

As long as Kalen is DeBoer and not DuBose

Speak for your self nerd 🤓 this isn't your average Coaching transition this is a ALABAMA MONOPOLY the NIL has created endless pool of 🌟 players and with our core Coaching staff I predict ALABAMA will win CHAMPIONSHIPS in football and basketball this coming season.

Sort of seems like the young guy here has mimicked his speaking style to Finebaum.

Alabama has won 2 out of 10 games against Texas 😂. Go Longhorns

Y’all in here talking about Alabama head football coach He was handed a gold platter. He was not handed a A bad program he has not coached a game We all need to see what he does on the football field on Saturday

Geaux LSU

FAFO !

Finebaum riding that same Alabama dong as usual.

Y’all can sunshine pump all you want your only up in the classes by how many commits you have from 3 and 4 stars not the 5 stars your accustomed to lol trust me it’s not the quality you think… once the saban recruits dry up…, your gonna see the drop off you’ve been warned… once more dominoes for other teams drop bama will drop they have 17 commits

Another secret hater.

Alabama fans ... trying to convince themselves they won't miss a beat.

Bama football about to get really bad. Hope their fans like rebuilding.

Alabama will not be the same without Nick Saban

BAMA IS BURNING LOST 40 GUYS IN THE PORTAL AND REPLACING WITH NAIA GUYS

Alabama will lose at Oklahoma Paul Finebaum knows nothing
