There's no hiding from the fact that Kalen DeBoer's first season with the Crimson Tide was far from ideal, with a loss to Vanderbilt highlighting the flaws in the system.
Heading into his second year at Alabama, it isn't make or break for his tenure in Tuscaloosa. However, fans were ready to call for his job after a 9-5 record, so DeBoer would be ignorant to think that the pressure on him isn't as high as possible.
While at the 2025 SEC Media Days, DeBoer didn't shy away from the expectations that are currently looming overhead for the Alabama head coach.
