Alabama football’s head coach Kalen DeBoer thinks the Crimson Tide failed to live up to the Alabama standard in 2024.
Alabama missed the College Football Playoff and lost four games in DeBoer’s first year as the Tide’s head coach. A reporter asked DeBoer if he felt Alabama lived up to its own high standard at SEC Media Days on Thursday.
“I mean, if you internally ask us, no,” DeBoer said. “We fell short of making the Playoffs. It’s as simple as that, giving yourself a chance to go compete for a championship. I think there’s a lot of things that I’m super proud of that have happened within the program that are part of the progression.
