Everyone drank the Kool-Aid and wanted to believe in Alabama football over the offseason. Kalen DeBoer did a masterful job building positive momentum to the point that, for a moment, fans had forgotten about the disappointing 9-4 debut season for the Tide's head coach.
While some fans immediately turned on DeBoer following last season's loss to Vanderbilt, the more realistic in the fanbase knew he deserved a little bit of grace in replacing the greatest coach in the history of the sport.
That grace extended one game into the 2025 season. With one loss to Florida State to open the season, fans completely turned on DeBoer and no longer believe he is the right man for the job in Tuscaloosa.
