Lotta posts shitting on him for coaching in the NAIA. That's ridiculous, not every coach is lucky enough to spend his early years at a SEC or P5 job. Anyone who thinks the # of fans in attendance determines whether a win is meaningful or not is a fricking idiot. He's a clear winner and was a great hire for Bama. Turning a 4-8 team to 14-1 is impressive regardless of conference. Hopefully he stops winning and they turn into Mississippi State.

Good coach. No arguing that. What’s funny though is the gumps made fun of Kelly’s non D1 wins when we hired him, and now Deboers non D1 wins make him a bad arse and a worthy Saban apprentice.

No one is shitting on him for coaching NAIA. Alabama fans won’t shut the frick up about his 114-7 record that’s bolstered by his NAIA stint from 2005-2009 while they ignore the legitimate concerns about him like his terrible recruiting track record and lack of time spent consecutively at the same D1 program. Ed Orgeron put the greatest team ever together with a Heisman QB, how much does Penix have to do with DeBoer’s success over the past 2 years?

I'll disagree with you without hating you. As LSU fans what we can all agree on is we hope the Alabama football program crashes and burns hard. I think it happens sooner rather than later, but who knows

NAIA wins are like 5A high school wins. At best.


Deboer is a fine hire but this is Alabama.

Should be able to pull whoever they want.

They hired a guy with 2 years of P5 experience no experience or ties in the south and is also a poor recruiter on top of that even in his area (recruited below Washington’s typical average)

Could it work? Maybe.


Just would think with bamas prestige they could pull better.

If you wanna talk about how your coach has won 10000 games people are gonna rag on 90% of them being a club sport.

Thats just an expected outcome.

He may be just fine at Bama and in the SEC. He likely won't have another Penix at QB for awhile.

Penix was legit. Lots of coaches get raises and jobs after a Heisman type QB leads the team. Can he do it without Penix and in a league with plenty of talent....

We will see.

My favorite is when they say it's a weak hire and that Lanning or Sark would have been better. Two guys who are combined 0-5 against DeBoer with superior rosters. It's almost like wins and losses don't matter.

The guy's record is impressive. 10-1 against the top 25 at Washington, 12-2 overall against the top 25 at his last two stops, 21 game winning streak, CFP win and national championship appearance, played in a highly competitive Pac 12 this season, OC for Penix at Indiana and brought him over to Washington and coached him as HC, etc

He has 3 years of P5 coaching experience. That obviously isn’t everything, but I also don’t put a ton of stock in his NAIA head coaching experience from 15 years ago.

And yet they still decided to go and get a coach that wasn’t. There are numerous out there that do have that experience. And the ones that they were interested in all said no. Poor guys.
