re: Kalen DeBoer named next Alabama Head Coach.

Just wanted to say I love the Kalen DeBoer hire, was on board right away. He was, in my opinion, the best choice. Smart and Sark are way too comfortable at their current spots. A lot of Lanning smoke initially that turned out not to be even close to true, and while he has roots here, he's 0-3 against DeBoer.

This dude is already a top 5 coach in the country. Every stop he's made his offenses have improved after arriving and have dipped after him leaving, even the one year Grubb stayed and DeBoer left for Indiana, that's a great sign.

He can scheme, game plan, and build with the rest of them. He has a terrific record and usually has the lesser of the talented team on the field but still comes out with the W and has a very impressive record as an underdog and against the top 25.

When he took over Washington, Lake just got tearing up their program. He took a 4-8 squad to a national title appearance in just two season. 5-0 against Lanning and Sark, including beating Sark in New Orleans when we couldn't even beat him at home.

The main question/concern is recruiting/new to region. With Saban taking on a role in the program, at least for now, that should really help ease the transition. He'll have a ton more talent to work with than ever before regardless.

Don't forget, Saban interviewed Grubb just last season for the OC spot. He obviously had an eye on Washington for a while. People can of course doubt the hire and be critical but with Byrne (and a bit of Saban) identifying this guy immediately, I think we're going to be ok. RTR!
