re: How many of you think the DeBoer hire was a good one?

Honestly I think it’s a good hire. DeBoer has had a lot of success at Washington, which is not easy to do. I think he is an unproven commodity in the sense that the level of competition in recruiting and scheduling in the SEC is a different level than the PAC-12, so we will see how he does, but I think it’s a good hire.

The truth is that any hire except for maybe stealing Kirby from UGA would have been a step down from Saban, so you knew the trolls would go off about how Alabama will decline, but it’s silly to think Alabama can’t continue to be at the top of the SEC with DeBoer.

Replacing Saban is no easy task but I do not see DeBoer as a new Perkins.
