Chris low seems pretty locked in with whats going on at Alabama. He tweeted this today
This is what he said on the Josh and Swain about our coaching search
He also was the one who broke the news about Rees and Locksley getting interviews.

Nick Saban will get an office in Bryant-Denny Stadium in his new support role for the university. But by the end of the day Thursday, his old office at the Mal Moore football complex had already been cleared out. He did hit a few golf balls at the golf facility before leaving.

"I think it's going to be (Mike) Norvell or (Kalen) DeBoer. I think it's one of those two guys." @ClowESPN joined us to discuss Nick Saban's retirement + the most likely candidates at Alabama.

Kalen DeBoer, is known for running a pro-style offense in football. This approach typically emphasizes a balanced attack with a strong running game, effective use of tight ends, and quarterbacks operating under center. It often includes play-action passes and seeks to control the game's tempo. This style contrasts with more pass-heavy or spread offenses seen in modern football.
Kalen DeBoer's offenses stand out due to several key factors:
Balanced Attack: He emphasizes a balanced offensive strategy, effectively using both the run and pass. This balance keeps defenses guessing and allows for adaptability based on the game situation and opponent.
Quarterback Development: DeBoer has a strong track record of developing quarterbacks. He tailors his system to their strengths, whether it's pocket passing, mobility, or decision-making, maximizing their effectiveness.
Innovative Play Calling: His play-calling is dynamic and unpredictable. He often employs a mix of traditional pro-style plays with more modern spread concepts, creating a versatile and challenging offense for defenses.
Utilization of Tight Ends and Fullbacks: Unlike many modern offenses that focus heavily on wide receivers, DeBoer often incorporates tight ends and fullbacks in significant roles, both in blocking schemes and as receiving threats.
Adjustments and In-Game Strategy: His ability to make effective adjustments during games, responding to the opposing defense's strategies, is a hallmark of his coaching style.
High-Performance Offensive Lines: DeBoer's teams usually feature strong offensive line play. A well-coached, effective offensive line is crucial for both a strong running game and effective pass protection.
Player Versatility: He encourages and develops versatility among his players, which allows for more complex and varied play designs. For instance, running backs and receivers may be involved in both the passing and running games.
Tempo Control: His offenses are known for controlling the game's tempo, whether it's speeding up the play to pressure defenses or slowing down to maintain a lead and manage the clock.
Preparation and Game Planning: DeBoer and his staff are thorough in their game preparation, often identifying and exploiting specific weaknesses in their opponents' defenses.
This combination of strategic play-calling, player development, and adaptability makes DeBoer's offenses effective, versatile, and challenging for opponents.
Kalen DeBoer, known for his offensive strategies, typically leaves the defensive scheming to his defensive coordinator. However, the type of defense run by a team under his leadership can vary based on the personnel and the defensive coordinator's philosophy. Common defensive schemes in football include the 4-3 defense, 3-4 defense, nickel packages, and various zone or man-to-man coverage strategies. The specific approach would depend on the team's strengths and the defensive coordinator's preferred system.

Debeor. Hell No on Norvell
Posted on 1/11/24 at 6:25 pm to RiverCityTider
He’d have the budget to hire/retain some of the best recruiters in the country too. I’m on board.

Maybe Sark he feels he owes CNS something for salvaging his career ?
Worst reason in the world to take the job. He has been plenty grateful to Saban about his help, but he should only come because of his own reasons. Personally, I hope he doesn't. I have never been impressed with him as a CEO type. Great coordinator.

Would be interesting to see what he can do with Milroe’s development
Nice to have Simpson and Sayin in the wings (assuming they stay)

The thing I’ll give DeBoer and his staff credit for is they looked like Michigan was going to run them off the field but their no name defense actually gave them a fighting chance until they were exhausted.
He’s known for offense but they made good adjustments. Can’t really anticipate your veteran QB game having his worst game in a while even when playing an elite defense. Penix missing a large bundle of wide open throws cost them this game.

That 3rd down play where their LBer without even looking at the guy that was coming off the line to run an out and went into phase covering him perfectly to stop the completion was wild. Dude's are definitely well coached.
