Sucks at the moment, but long term will be all good.

Deboer and Saban are obviously totally different, and so there is some turmoil right now.

Deboer is more of a team culture type guy than Saban. Saban’s culture was hard arse work and winning, which was great and he attracted a lot of folks looking to win championships and go on to the NFL.

Deboer’s goal is to won championships too, but he obviously makes it important to build a team that cares about one another and the program.

Deboer is kinda like Dabo in that, but he has better x’s and o’s, isnt afraid to use the portal, and doesnt say the corny stuff Dabo does sometimes.

So long term I think it will work out for the best. Right now it just sucks because seems like there is new bad news every day. But it’s really just the same news continuing. Eventually it will stop, and then Deboer will be able to grow the program like he wants, and I think we’ll all be proud of it.

Hopefully so. There are things they can do in the short term too, though. There's a little bit of a standstill at the moment due to the one way portal rules, but there must be some productive things they can do. I think they need to emphasize finishing out the staff by the end of today, getting DeBoer's key players from Washington who are in the portal, making sure they are in constant communication with current players so that they aren't blindsided by any departures, and preparing a really sharp recruiting board for when the portal reopens for everyone. Also could be testing the waters on Michigan players since Harbaugh's departure seems likely - Morgan should have contacts there.

There is so much wrong here I don’t even know where to start.
Saban is massive on team culture! What are you talking about? Lol
I honestly have no idea what you are talking about in the 2nd paragraph. You think these guys from the west coast that DeBoer will bring on care more about the Alabama program? What?

Nothing has been proven that DeBoer is a recruiter. The long term could possibly be worse, there is a chance that this year's team will be the most talented that DeBoer will ever have at Alabama.
