re: Deboer has won everywhere he’s been. Good hire. 10 win seasons ahead.

I had fun watching Bama football before greatness was guaranteed every season.


Me as well. Was in school during Shula and the beginning of Saban. Still had a lot of fun at the Bama games even with Darby up the middle.

Same. Seems they went with substance over flash.

He was the best available on the board.

If he got UW to the playoffs he certainly can at Alabama. However, following the goat will be rough.

Bama is a different animal. He's as good a hire as they could have possibly made, but 10-12 wins a season without at least a couple of conference championships will get him max 5 seasons before he's replaced.

They need to be very careful throwing out these De and Da words as synonyms. They do not want to end up with another DuBose.

It’s not the biggest splash of a hire, name wise, but I think it’s a safe hire at the very least. Time will tell but I don’t think one can objectively say it’s a bad hire.

To me, the only question mark is recruiting for a guy who has zero ties to the southeast and quite frankly wasn't killing it at Washington either. Auburn went down that rabbit hole. No question he's a good coach looking at his record.

Washington
2024 - 36th
2023 - 26th
2022 - 95th

Fresno State
2021 - 71st
2020 - 100th

Who were you looking for? Kirby? Mike Tomlin or Bill Belichick? Urban Meyer? Let's be real.

As far as the people you can expect to fit and have success, this guy is as big a name as anybody in CFB could have gotten.

The guy can coach. Will come down to recruiting. I would have been more concerned with Kiffin/Lanning, but DeBoer could be formidable if he can keep their recruiting up.

We'll have to wait and see if he can stand being in the pressure cooker that is Bama/SEC.

Based on 2 years as a P5 coach. We’ll see.
