Yeah think part of it is the Alabama hate, part clickbait, and part lack of writing skill/AI use. Most sportswriters these days suck, you can bet Cecil would've never written anything like this about any coach. If the standard is Saban the safe bet is that Deboer won't reach the mark but who would? That would be the safe bet on anyone hired. We've been blessed to have 2 of the greatest if not the greatest to have ever done it. I hope Deboer can one day be mentioned with the same love and reverence of the Bear and Saban but I'm not holding my breath for that I'm just excited to see what he and his team brings to Alabama and hope he's someone who will keep trying to teach boys to be good men and give their all to life and the game.I understood. I just find it funny I keep seeing this same article… different writers, same theme, the last 24-48 hours or so. Saw another one earlier from a guy that covers Washington area sports teams… same theme as this guy. ‘DeBoer doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into…” Maybe not. Maybe he fails. But it’s hilarious to assume that him failing is a foregone conclusion. These same type folks said Saban would be at Alabama for 3-4 years, tops. Then constantly predicted his and Bama’s downfall after every (rare) loss. At some point, some measure of self-reflection is in store, you’d think... where the mirror would tell them to sit this one the fuck out.
