In just 14 games at Alabama, Kalen DeBoer has begun a legacy of broken streaks and a failure to live up to the standard.
You never want to be the guy who follows the guy. That's an old adage in coaching. Following a successful coach is never easy. It's even harder when that coach was the greatest in college football history and in a place where expectations were through the roof before Nick Saban reset the bar to an unreachable level.
But I have no sympathy for Kalen DeBoer, who willingly took a job that he should have known was going to be a heavy burden in a cutthroat league.
