So if he runs a 4 man front, will we be recruiting differently on defense? A 3 man multiple scheme has different roles and body types than a 4 man front. We have been running the 3 man multiple for 17 years under Saban. A lot of teams, including Ga, also use the 3 man multiple. One thing I will say is that in Saban's 3 man multiple we ran a lot of 4 man front, with Will Anderson or Dallas Turner or whoever the Jack was actually lined up in a 3 point stance on the edge. But the linebackers especially have different roles in the 4 man front. It will be interesting.

I'd heard that DeBoer had a new UW contract sitting on his desk unsigned after the P12CG.
Couple that with Saban's admission-veiled-in-light-humor to Kirby during SECCG pregame: "I'm getting too old for this"
Pretty sure Saban was heavily contemplating retirement at the end of the season. And the fact that DeBoer wouldn't sign his UW contract when it was presented to him at around the same time... It makes one wonder if this plan wasn't brewing for several weeks before CNS and Miss Terry did their post-season career assessment.
Not as much of a transition as everyone is assuming, as it was much more of a hybrid 3-4/4-3.
A lot of 4-3 teams use a slender, more athletic DE on one side to drop him into flats coverage if necessary, allowing to keep somewhat of a "nickel" concept while keeping 3 backers on the field.

I just don't expect lot of changes personnel wise, It's more of teaching them different scheme.... Its not any different from going to 3-4 to 4-2-5 or any other scheme.... from college to NFL. They can handle it. They're probably going to seek players who palys fast and agressive

We'll never know how this played out... I think DeBoer knew he was going to get opportunities and I think Brynes kinda did the work behind the scene with DeBoer... and I think Nick played a role in it, no matter how much he denies it.
Yes yes she is!!!!!!!!!
Kinda like it myself, it's my name, only issue I have is my daughter is Kaelyn so she thinks it's funny Kalen is Kane's boss
This concerns me....

Makes me question the hire entirely.

Dude. Why?
Offense intended. You are making me think of @50+yeartidefan ... paying attention to Alabama, but not the football world.
Solid hire. He's good.

I'm still freaking out on this statement.
They did it at INDIANA. The defense improved, immediately, at South Alabama when he took over...and stayed that way.
You've complained about defense...without looking at what he can do for a defense.
GREAT hire.
This is not a "fandom" statement. This is one of the best OC/DC combo's we've seen.

I might agree with this. You're saying, essentially, that mando is bi-polar.
Me or him?

@mando
And yet i am not sure if thats good or not so much....or agree and...wait a minute...maybe i do agree...yeah...ok i agree
But dont know its true...
I haven't been a pessimist regarding DeBoer. I've been pessimistic about the future implications of Saban being so close to the program going forward.
