re: DeBoer appears to be a good coach, but he had Pennix throwing the ball for him

If I were a bama fan, I would be cautiously optimistic about him. Not a ton of high level experience, but did a great job in the short time he had.

From an external viewpoint the only thing I don’t know is how he will handle the pressure from the fans and boosters. He’s going from Seattle to Tuscaloosa. Expectations and pressure is much higher, teeth per capita is much lower.
