On the Pat McAfee show, the topic of Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide came up during an interview with Nick Saban, and Saban shared his thoughts about Alabama’s 2025 season and how DeBoer is doing at Alabama.
“I do think Kalen DeBoer is a really good coach, and he’s doing a good job here,” Saban said. “This is a tough transition, especially in this environment that we live in in college football in terms of players coming and going. I think there was like 26 players that got in the portal when I retired, so that’s a lot to overcome for anybody, and it would have been a lot to overcome for even any of the guys that formerly coached for me, so I fully support Greg Bryne and how he’s done it.
