Alabama fans: Does Deboer have any personality?

I don't think I can remember one memorable moment of Deboer in a press conference or interview.
Most coaches have a distinct personality. Like Saban has an extensive highlight reel of him on the podium or on the field coaching. Les Miles was a goofball we all got to know. Kiffin is an obvious one.
Even Hugh Freeze. He was a Baptist preacher type who saw football as his pulpit. A yuck yuck kind of knucklehead.
Kirby and his antics...we've all heard his locker room speeches and his almost-stuttering fast-talk way of speaking to reporters.
I don't even need to explain Orgeron.
Jimbo. Harbaugh.
Distinct personalities.
I guess Deboer is kind of like Ryan Day. I don't know anything about Day's personality besides the fact that he has jet black dyed hair.

Do you know who Sheriff Andy Taylor is? Well, that is Deboer's personality

The whole personality thing really only works in your favor when the coach is winning and everyone's happy with him.
When we had John L. Smith as our interim in 2012, he came across as almost senile sometimes. He called us Alabama in a post-game once. The "Smile!" thing after we lost to Bama 0–52, and got upset by ULM the week before, became a running joke the entire year.
Chad Morris and his stupid dancing GIF, his tweaked-out "hammer down full-tilt boogie" right before going 4–20 over two years, and generally just appearing like he always chugged an energy drink ten seconds before, but with the energy going to nothing productive.
Sam Pittman's "aw shucks" good ole boy attitude. Saying "I didn't know what to do" multiple times when questioned on a retarded call, acting like his incompetence was an endearing thing.
When a coach fails to meet expectations, blending into a beige wall is the best blessing they can give you.

Football coaches who don't have hobbies and don't have much of a personality usually work best!

If he wins, he can be literally anyone personality-wise for all I care.

Sideline personality wise , a lot like Mike Shula.
