re: To the Bama fans saying we are scared of DeBoer

There are worse coaches than DeBoer. I don't think it was an awful hire. The big weakness is that he has few ties to the SEC. There is no real way to predict how this will end up other than to see how the team plays in the fall.

I agree. So many people want to "know all along" that they don't have the humility to admit they don't know what will happen. For example, I shat on the AU Harsin hire from the get-go, and I was right, but I also shat on the Mizzou Drinkwitz hire from the get-go and boy was I wrong.

This is all correct. Obviously your first two sentences are a little tepid. I think anyone who’s not brainwashed is reasonably sure he’s a “good or very good coach.”

BUT, he may be an epic failure at Alabama. 100% agree on that, it’s easy to see the
challenges he will be facing. And we won’t know anything for some time now.

All of that is to say I agree with you, and disagree with all the braindead morons, including the OP, who feel the need to make a definitive stance one way or another right now, in January, on how he will turn out.
