re: ESPN reporting that DeBoer is negotiating terms with BAMA

One of saban’s greatest accomplishments at Bama was being able keep all of the cooks out of his kitchen. Is DeBoer going to be able have that same amount of credibility? Gonna be interesting.

He seems like a good coach but there’s a lot more to it than just that.

This is what strikes me the most. DeBoer's a damn good coach, and the whole 'he can't recruit in the south' thing some are tossing around isn't necessarily a given (see BK for an example of that). But does DeBoer have what it takes to control booster interference and deal with the politics that goes with certain tiers of schools in the SEC? That's one of the biggest questions, IMO. The next few years will be interesting for sure.
