Not according to our fanbase when you compare his regular season record (20-3) at this stage to DeBoer's (19-5)... and this was before the days of NIL, expansion, etc.

Saban was 26-12 in his first 3 years at LSU before winning a NC in year 4.

He had 4 x 3+ loss seasons out of 5 coached with several losses to lesser teams.

He did win the SEC CG twice and the NC, but following Saban in 2005 us unlike following him in 2024. Saban's long term success at Bama will not be seen again, the style of play, recruiting, retention and development are not even comparable.

Fact remains, reeling off elite season after elite season should not be the measuring stick. Having a team that consistently competed for a playoff spot is. DeBoer has a very different team and some ugly losses. But, he has some great wins and overall success given the circumstances.

Hopefully things fall into place this year or next for a serious title run.

ETA: who gives a shite a team pic aesthetics?

This has nothing to do with DeBoer or the the teams discipline. This is on the photographer they hired to take the photo.

This whole issue just shows that auburn's whole existence is their obsession with Alabama. Their goal is not to be successful, but to tear down Alabama. Thats the most loser mentality there is.

It does sort of jive with what some people say the culture is like in the football building under DeBoer.



Is this gonna start folks catastrophizing or just another black hoodie Neurosis ?

The auburn controlled media is the one making a big deal about it. Their whole goal is to tear down Bama at every turn.

God I forgot that part of the fanbase was riled up over DeBoer wearing normal coaching clothes and not a suit

There's no way anyone actually cares about this.

I'm glad no one looks at pictures of me to make judgements.
I'm not photogenic.
