This is conjecture.

This has nothing to do with ability
Perhaps DeBoer sees something in Mack that makes him believe he's the right guy for his system.
There's no way to know any of this until we see the product on the field.
BAMA didn't hire DeBoer to be a continuation of Saban. They hired him because they believe he can develop a system of winning akin to the winning tradition at BAMA.
The problem is that even if DeBoer has BAMA competitive in every game next season, and goes say 8-4, people will say, if Sayin this, or if TRob that.
DeBoer didn't think TRob or Sayin were instrumental to his success. Until he proves otherwise, I'm with DeBoer.

I’m with you man. Got to let the man build his own staff and team and then judge him.
If everyone could calm down and think about it just for a minute, if you force him to keep members of Saban’s staff or players then you can’t really hold him accountable for the outcome. You have to let the man make his own decisions.

Ok. Let's take a closer look at players.
Rome Odunze was Mr Football in Nevada. He was recruited by Saban. He went to play for Petersen at UW.
He could've called Saban when Petersen left or when Lake left and played at BAMA. He didn't. He stuck it out and DeBoer's offense probably turned him into a 1st round draft pick. You think DeBoer probably told Odunze, "if you stay, I'll put you in the NFL?"
Isiah Bond. Left before the new coach was announced for a payday.
I know which player I want at BAMA.
If DeBoer told Sayin that he'd rather have Mack, then I'm ok with that. After all, nobody knows his offense better than he and Grubb. Best believe this was a consensus decision and not an impulsive one.

I remember a LOT of haters from other schools LAUGHING at us in December 2007 for hiring a "Dud"...... They all claimed Saban was an overpaid BUST. I remember LSux fans buying up tickets to the Independence bowl game in Shreveport to jeer and laugh at Saban.
But no one was laughing after the season opener in 2008.
Candidly, I was REALLY Hoping we WOULD hire a "Continuation of Saban"!!!! But we broke away from the Bryant & Stallings legacies in 2006, and that turned out "OK".....
DeBoer needs at least one full season before we can have ANY idea how he's going to shake out.
