CBS NEWS: Kalen DeBoer has broken what Saban built for, we need a new coach like …

Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer is entering a situation unlike any other. He must replace one of the greatest coaches of all time, take over a legendary program, and look to maintain his prior successes.

Last season, DeBoer took Washington all the way to the national championship, but fell short of winning it, and had some high-quality, impressive wins along the way.

Crimson Tide fans have grown accustomed to one thing under Nick Saban: winning.

Whether it has been on the recruiting trail or on the field, Saban has led the Alabama program to countless wins, some aren’t even quantifiable. DeBoer now has been tasked with the responsibility of not just maintaining what Saban has built, but to build upon it.

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg recently ranked Tide’s DeBoer as the coach with the most to prove heading into the 2024 season.

There’s no doubt that DeBoer understands and appreciates the unprecedented position that he finds himself in. However, it is all about how he responds to it. Unfortunately, we won’t have an answer to that until the start of the 2024 season.
