IMO, it should make you worried. If he can do that with subpar talent, what can he do with top 10 classes. You realize it will be a lot easier to recruit to Bama than it was at Washington right?

Again, you could substitute the word Washington with Boise State and Alabama with Auburn, and your post would be very much in line with Auburn posts from December 2020.

Look, no one knows for sure how this hire will go. But what we do know, because we have Harsin as a prime example, is it’s extraordinarily hard for a west coast coach who has no knowledge or ties to the Southeast to come into the SEC and be successful.

Already we’ve heard from the top high school coaches in Alabama that they’re taking a “wait and see” approach on this guy. Well these coaches already know coaches like Hugh Freeze, Kirby Smart, Lane Kiffin, etc. If you think this guy is going to come in and there not be a process of building new bridges, then I have bad news for you.

If he doesn't bring the defense up a few notches DeBoer won't win anything of significance. We'll have a Lincoln Riley - Oklahoma tenure. He'll start off great but as time goes the program will noticeably regress and start to lose more games.
