Urban? Maybe, but there's baggage. Literally who else would have actually been a better hire than this dude based on resume?

I'm disgusted in myself defending Alabama like this, but y'all really are some phuckin' retards.

And only a couple days after Saban's announcement. They get a head coach from a major program who just went to the Natty. Very impressive job by the Bama AD

Two hours ago, we were being mocked for 'not being able to land DeBoer and having to settle for Tommy Rees'. Most of it is trolling, but there's at least 15% who actually believe the nonsense they spew

Lanning. I know DeBoer beat him twice this year, but Lanning is the superior recruiter and that matters.

I would argue Lanning or Sark but DeBoer is 5-0 against them in the last two years...with lesser talent.

Kiffin would scare me more at Alabama of guys who may have been realistically available. The problem with this year is there weren't many guys realistically available who would have been viewed as a homerun hire at a place like Alabama

I don't recall many Alabama fans singling out Deboer as the guy they wanted when Saban announced he was retiring. As we all do when we're having coaching searches, they justified the hire later when it became apparent he was going to be the guy.

It's not a bad hire at all, honestly a good hire, but the discussion on this topic has been hilarious to watch from both sides.

I would have taken Lanning 100 times over DeBoer

Kiffin, Sark, Lanning, and Norvell off the top of my head.

He was the best available after the first 3 said no.

Kiffin sark Kelly Kirby harbaugh



Not saying all were attainable but that’s not what you asked. this is supposed to be one of if not THE best job in the country.

Deboer is a solid hire but has big question marks.

It’s a good hire, but I’m very relieved it’s not Lanning, Norvell or Kiffin, especially the latter two

I mean, even Bama thought there were better potential hires. But he might be ok. He'll have to learn how to recruit.
