Alabama was a train wreck when Saban arrived. Alabama was in great shape when Deboer arrived. A better comparison would be to see how the last coach to follow Saban did.
The last coach to take over tor Nick Saban before now was Les Miles. Before getting to Baton Rouge, Miles had never won more than 9 games in a season. He went 11-2 his first year at LSU.
Alabama will arguably have as much talent as any team in the country. They will most likely finish the regular season 11-1 or 10-2. I’d take the over.

That's a good call and a solid comp, but probably compare LSU's 2005 schedule to Alabama's 2024 schedule.
LSU turned out not to be all that great that season in the end...

History of new SEC coaches would say to plan for 3 to 4 losses in the first year. However,…this is a pretty good comp….
So many things in flux right now with CFB: NIL, portal, expanded CFB playoff, etc…..makes it more difficult to predict.
