This is about the worst game imaginable for Kalen DeBoar.

I haven't said it before, but he is definitely in hot water next year. If he doesn't make the playoffs, he has to be gone.

You can't lose 4 games at Bama and you sure as hell can't lose (even to the best team in the country) by 35 points.

BUT NO! IT IS OKAY TO GET MAULED 4 TIMES IN LITTLE OVER A YEAR!

I love losing 4 games a year!!!

ETA: HE MADE A 12 TEAM PLAYOFF IN HIS SECOND YEAR!

that has to be the dumbest argument^^ dude he inherited a team full of 5 stars.

If Grubb is our OC this fall I’m going fishing on Saturdays.

This is the worst game in 30 years for this program and you want him on the hot seat?

He should be fired today!

I said it earlier; and I’ll make it more personal. I am a COO over a smaller company. If I suck at my job every other quarter my board gives me a pink slip. We are essentially in quarter two for Deboer and he has, I think we would agree underperformed. Today, underperformance doesn’t scratch the surface of what he did out there.

He’s a dead man walking anyhow. He’s done. He can’t win at a program like Alabama.

The Clemson loss was equally as bad. People are hot right now and I get it but let’s not all jump off the cliff.

I wouldn’t say hot water next season. He needs to have an ugly next season to get kicked

Womack needs to be tossed IMO. I’m just tired of this simple scheme on defense. Also didn’t get rotating Domani Jackson in and out constantly, he cannot tackle

Grubb is painful to watch. So many wasted first and second downs with runs when it’s clear we’re not getting any give. Took until Mack was in to call deep shots and you’ve got Ryan Williams/Lottie running free multiple times

I could say a lot of possible band-aids for the team...But honestly the best thing to do is just get rid of Deboer. He is not a good coach on many levels. We'll never be up to the Bama standard as long as he is here.

Better hope there is a rising star in the head coaching ranks for next year.

Could be a case of interim coach like Wommack turning into permanent coach type situations.

Womack is a horrendous head coach compared to Deboer

Yeah but unlike 2018, this makes three blowout losses in one season.

Dumb

Should we have fired Saban after 44-16? Dabo took his foot off the gas or that one could have been worse (Cignetti never takes his foot off the gas. He’s a run it up guy).
