I know enough Bama fans to know that their expectations are for DeBeor to just continue what Saban has built. That isn’t reality and when they go 9-3 next year they will already be calling for his head. The loss of Ryan Grubb is also huge from a football perspective. I give him two years.
I'm not predicting the downfall of Alabama football in general, but I do expect DeBoer to fail and potentially fail miserably. He has two years of coaching experience at the Power 5 level. Think more Scott Frost rather than Saban 2.0. He also lost Ryan Grubb who has been his O coordinator for over a decade and had to promote a 36 year old TE coach with two years of coordinator experience, which he ended up getting fired from Indiana for having the lowest scoring offense in the Big 10. 8-4 incoming for this year and they run him out of town in two years. Please credit.
Yep, it's his offense, but if Lebby had coached with Lane for over a decade and left suddenly and then Lane promoted the TE coach whose only coordinator experience was running the worst offense in the Big 10, we would all be worried. Bama thinks they are invincible and those days are over.
