DeBoer is a top 5 coach in the game currently. Hard to argue against that. Smart, Sarkesian weren’t leaving no matter what, so that leaves who?
I think saying DeBoer is currently a "top 5 coach" is very arguable
Heck - just 6 months ago he was listed as the 23rd ranked coach in college football.
Obviously a lot has changed in 6 months - for example: 2 of the top 5 ranked coaches here are not even college coaches anymore. I think today DeBoer is better than the 23rd best coach in college football currently – but it can be argued that he isn’t a top 5 active coach

Other than Smart and Sarkesian, who I already pointed out who in the SEC is better? Kelly is the only one you can even have a discussion about, and only his longevity even makes it questionable. Nobody else has any record of achievement. I say this as a guy who wanted Kiffin because I thought he’d be a good fit but wouldn’t rank him higher.
The game has left Dabo behind, and he’s been unwilling to change. I’d have had him as a top coach 2 years ago, certainly don’t now.

Alabama with the 23rd best coach would still wreck shop. Outside of Bryant and Saban, Alabama’s coaches have all ranked a lot closer to 123rd than 23rd. I am not sure that Dubose and Shula weren’t in the 130’s out of 133. And they still each managed a 10 win season and division or conference title in their short stints.
No one is coming in and replacing Saban as Saban. But Alabama is not on the verge of going 6-6 or worse as so many on here are desperately hoping.

I wouldn’t judge the guy for this. I personally like him and I think he’s a decent coach but he certainly has challenges ahead man regardless of what Alabama thinks, but they will definitely slip for several years and whether or not they get it together after that is to be decided.
