Lanning and Norvelle were the two that scared the shite out of me. DeBoer is a "prove it" for me.
But by going off the resumes, I'd say Norvell, Lanning, and then DeBoer have shown the potential to prove it.
Norvell won at Memphis and turned around FSU who had been dogshit since even before Jimbo left.
Lanning's ties to Kirby (and one year as a GA under Saban) tell me he knows how to win, but it is a lot easier to win at Oregon compared to much of their competition because of the resource advantage they have.
DeBoer's resume is solid, just very thin at the major coaching level. Alabama will recruit itself for a year or two. After that, we'll see.

There is only one coach Alabama could have theoretically hired that was purely plug n' play for Nick Saban and that was Kirby Smart. We know in practice that was not a possibility in reality because Smart is established at his alma mater.
Literally anyone else Alabama hired to replace Saban is a "prove it" or "wait and see" hire.
