Coach DeBoer

Is a very good coach but I don’t think he realized what he signed up for here. CKD forgot more about the X’s and O’s of football this morning than most of us will understand our entire lives. I don’t doubt his coaching ability, but being the head coach at Alabama is about a lot more than coaching football. Being the head coach at Alabama is like being the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and I don’t think CKD understood that when he took this job. He acts like he’s still at Washington or in South Dakota, but you can’t coach players here the same way you coach players there. Right now, CKD appears in over his head. This team is undisciplined, unfocused and is regressing instead of improving like you’d hope to see at this point in the year.

This team has a serious culture problem. There’s no accountability. Malachi Moore embarrasses the program at the end of the Vandy game and CKD stoically defends him, showing zero emotion about his team captain’s temper tantrum. Kendrick Law gets a dumb penalty that blows up a potential game tying drive and he immediately is put out there to return the ensuing kickoff. The lack of discipline and accountability with this team is an indictment of our coaching staff. CKD has got to start running a tighter ship or he won’t be successful here.
