🏈 Cole Cubelic sounds off on Alabama fans still comparing Kalen DeBoer to Nick Saban

Sort of life when Ray Perkins took over after Bear? I'm sure every fan base has done that after a legendary coach left. It's inevitable. And it's human nature. There's an adjustment period. Sometimes it's short, sometimes it's not. Kalen DeBoer is entering his 3rd year at Alabama. If he wins the SEC or a national championship within the next 2-3 years, the comparison will subside a little bit. But the comparison will always be there. Why? Because he's the coach who followed one of the greatest ever. I can't imagine what went through his head (or what's currently going through it) knowing the shoes he had to fill.

Taking advice from a Barner? No thanks.... Is there merit to what he is saying? Sure but that is not going to change expectations at Bama nor should it. CKD knew what he was signing up for. Get the job done is how you make it a non-issue. Bama was built on high expectations but even more so on meeting those expectations. Bama football did not start with CNS nor will it end with him not on the sidelines. Just going to take some time. I believe by year 4-5 you are going to know if he is the man that will get it done.

He is entitled to his opinion and we are entitled to agree or disagree. Some of us who have been around for a very long time can relate to a new head coach following a legend. In most cases, it’s been very difficult, almost impossible. There are a few exceptions.
