This sounds like you're being dismissive. Sioux Falls has 4 National Championships in their entire history.

DeBoer won 3 of them in 4 seasons. If it is so easy to win there, why hadn't every coach that coached there done it? It's not like Sioux Falls was some power program at that level. He was 67-3 during his tenure. Sioux Falls moved from NAIA to Division II based on the success they had under Coach DeBoer.

the question was specifically what has he done in his year at alabama that gives you optimism?
Everyone that defends deboer points to his track record. There should be some things to point to over the last year at alabama. Doesnt even have to be on field w/l result.

I’m getting Billy Napier vibes from this coach. I knew Napier was going to suck after his first few games. Florida is way too big of a job for that guy. As long as he is there, the Gators will be mediocre at best.

Florida turned it around at the end of the year and were battling more injuries than maybe any team has ever had to overcome.

They also have among one of the worst facilities and NIL collective in the conference.

He gets well above a passing grade for his job this year.

don’t disagree. But then 2 steps backwards for not having guts to put in someone who might be able to deliver to said schemed open receivers.

Blind loyalty and optimism doesn’t make sense either. We’ll just have to agree to disagree. Luckily these things don’t impact our day-to-day lives.

People don't want to accept that Milroe was our best quarterback the last two seasons. I've seen nothing from Ty Simpson in the Spring games or limited real game action that would suggest that he's definitely better than Milroe.

I've always thought Simpson was a guy who'd be a gunslinger as a starter. He's going to put some throws up and you better hope his guys make a play on the ball. Certainly that was seen by the staff and their estimation was Milroe was possibly seen as a bit less turnover prone and a whole lot more dynamic as a runner. However, I will admit the last 3 games of Milroe's career here that argument got flimsier. 9 turnovers in 3 games has got to be among the worst runs we've had from a quarterback this century.

If Milroe is his starting quarterback to start next season, I will join the “fire Deboer bandwagon”. But until then, let’s give the guy a shot with his type of offense

His snaps have been so limited that there's no way to make an accurate assessment. But just seeing Simpson's delivery on simple dump offs and wide open receivers when he did get to play, and then comparing it to Milroe was pretty apparent. One of them made it look easy (because those throws are supposed to be and are easy for decent quarterback) and the other made it look difficult for no real reason.

All we want to see is an ACTUAL QB run this system. He doesn't have to be the second coming of Tua passing the ball. Just give your WR's a fricking chance instead of throwing it 10 feet over their heads or 20 feet out of bounds.

Holstein threw for 400 yards less than Milroe in his 1st year starting at Pitt in 3 less games and had only 300+ fewer rush yards.

I'm not suggesting that Holstein had a better year than Milroe, I'm saying it outright. And he wasn't number 2 behind Milroe when he transferred.

Edit: I'm interested to see what BOB can do with Lonergan too. If Milroe is the starter at BAMA next year, I'll be watching Pitt and BC.

You could visibly see the wide receivers getting frustrated yesterday. Our program will be royally screwed if Milroe returned in 2025. The team and fan base would have a mutiny.
