The unparalleled dynamism in the hiring and firing department post-2023 season has put a lot at stake. One among them is Kalen DeBoer’s reputation as the inheritor of the legacy of the legendary coach Nick Saban. But who can blame him when it’s a whopping 6 National Championship wins across 16 seasons he has to compete with? While DeBoer himself comes in with his commendable 102-12 record during his nine years as head coach, it’s barely about coaching records alone anymore. All of it boils down to leading one of the most pronounced conferences in the books of NCAA history.

Hence, it is now upon DeBoer to not let the reputation that Saban and the coaches before him have worked for years altogether to build down. The Alabama head coach is yet to enter the gridiron as a head coach, yet the burning questions laced with disparage have already begun. Till now, it was just analysts who were critically acclaiming DeBoer’s capacities as Alabama’s head coach. Almost as a major hit to Kalen DeBoer’s capabilities, Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart, too, is reported to not have much faith in Alabama now that it is in DeBoer’s hands.

DwagNation’s Mike Griffith revealed Georgia’s viewpoint of Texas Longhorns, who will be one of the three teams that the Bulldogs would be facing on the road next season, with Alabama and Ole Miss. “Georgia doesn’t think too much, Kirby Smart doesn’t think too much about Alabama. Really, the Oct. 19 game at Texas is the big headache,” reported Griffith. Even though it was a statement concerning Bulldogs, it was a direct humiliation hurled at Kalen DeBoer. What made the statement even more astounding was it was against Alabama, one program that has been having successful seasons for the past decade and a half.

To make things a little less harsh on DeBoer, Alabama was surely a success, till 2020, when the conference won their last National Championship title thus far. Since then, the program seems to have dropped off for the last three years, per Griffith

To add to this, DeBoer’s right hand for the last 12 years, Ryan Grubb, left his side to take up the role of offensive coordinator at Seattle Seahawks, despite Gruff assuring that he won’t. For many, in Mike Griffith’s words, “DeBoer, more and more, is looking like a placeholder hire.” And this season would be the only chance with Kalen DeBoer to prove it wrong.
