The whole nation understands how important football is in the South, especially in Alabama. Every school says the expectation is a championship, but Alabama is one of the few schools that can say the expectation is winning a championship, and they have some hardware to show that it can be accomplished.
The Kalen DeBoer era of Alabama football kicked off in 2024 and featured disappointing losses on the road that kept the Crimson Tide out of the playoff. In 2025, the season began in horrible fashion with an embarrassing loss to Florida State, but Alabama has won every game since then.
