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

Good solid hire but certainly not great. DeBoer is not a culture fit and has a limited proven resume at the Power 5 level. Bama optimized the hire given the best targets didn’t want the job. Could have been far worse if Dabo or Rees would have been hired. DeBoer will do fine but don’t expect the greatness you had under GOAT.
