| FTBL Alabama hires Kalen DeBoer as its next football coach.

[OldPlayer]

If I was Bama I would state atleast that they offered only one Coach. I would to shut the press up

Those who have declined pursuit of the role never got to offer stage. Byrne isn’t going into conversations saying, “We have an opening and we’ll pay you $X, are you interested?”

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Yeah. If i was willing to bet on this.....thats where i would lay my money down...

Know little about him...other thanhis year at Washington....

Know Only this...AU hired outside Southern region...an offensive coach...
How did that work out..?

DeBoer might would fall on his face at Alabama, but the similarities between he and Harsin begin and end with the… offensive coach from outside the south comparison.

ESPN stating DeBoer.

Guess I meant more on the back channels.

I just assume it’s all semantics. They don’t officially offer anyone the job. They say,“If you were offered the Alabama job, would you accept?”. Technically they aren’t offering the job, just gauging your interest IF you were offered the gig.

I really don’t know enough about him, but his interviews leading up to the CFP don’t make me a fan.

The Husky fans thinks he is a goner and they are mega pissed. They also contend Lanning never was even offered the position.

He's won everywhere he's been. That makes me a fan.

It's over.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Once it's done, you think we'll get the true rundown?

I would say yes, unless the new coach has a Saban like swag, and shuts down in the know type.

 

[64Tide]

It's over.

Until Byrne announces anything, it ain't over.

You saying it's over, thought you were referring to the deal signed or in place

They’re right. That was an info gathering session on DeBoer.

Do you mean Lanning?

While true to a degree, guys like Norvell and Sark never even got the wink and nod offer. It was all a leverage game. The media and opposing fans will say what they want, and it doesn’t really matter, but it’s the truth.
