- As Nick Saban's successor, Alabama has hired Kalen DeBoer away from Washington. Here's what we know. Kalen DeBoer is a proven winner. An amazing human. Players love him. He has had success everywhere. He will succeed in building a TEAM & running it that way in Tuscaloosa. Cole Cubelic shares stories and his experiences with the new Crimson Tide head coach.
Cube, I truly appreciate your description of Coach DeBoer as a servant leader. I've been a Bama fan since Bear leaned against the goal post. The biggest thing that Coach DeBoer will have against him is the same thing that all of his predecessors had (including Coach Saban) ... Fans bowing up against him with the attitude 'that's not the way we do things here.'. Folks, I think we have a winner on our hands if we simply give him a chance.
Very solid take. You have a very good coach coming in, and just be patient with him and his coaching style. It’s going to be different than you’ve had the last 17 years. Good luck and Fight On! ✌🏻
I think this is where Saban can run interference for him.
Great pod cast. Forget about the person you mentioned at the end. Saying you won't be able to get 10,000 likes. Everyone in Alabama who follows sports and football 🏈 and Alabama and Auburn football 🏈 loves yours and Macs show. And I'll continue to listen to your podcast. You did a class action report here. Hope you both have continued success. 🙏 Prayers for both of your and your families. I'm a Bama fan but pull for Auburn as well when their not playing Bama. I personally was friends with Reggie Slack and Stacey Danley. Had many outings with both of them during their playing years at Auburn. Anyhow God Bless 🙏 and thanks for a quality podcast and quality commentary. In the 🌎 world we live in now, quality and positivity are always needed. 🏈🏆📣💯💪🤙✌️ Will be back Sunday 🎉to listen in and tune in. To hear what you have to say.
There’s a lot that needs to get cleaned up. Washington was almost dead last in penalties per game, three blocks given up on special teams, eight fumbles lost, and a dline that got no pressure this past season. You can’t play that way in the SEC and win consistently.
Even though you are an Auburn Man, I could listen to you All day.
Cole you and McElroy break it down better than anyone.
Facts!
👊
From now on when I think of AU I’m going to think of you Cube. You’re the best bro. I’ll be able to manage my attitude a whole lot better.
My favorite Aub. Knows the game. Thanks for the info, Cole
I enjoyed your comments, Cube. You brought up so much I hadn't thought about. How Coach Deboer built a tremendous offensive line and his work ethic to succeed. I feel better after your opinion. That old saying about, .'"Don't be the man that replaces the man," hopefully, will prove wrong.
As not only a Bama fan, but a college football fan in general, I truly appreciate your non bias opinions. You are a great ambassador for the sport and you know your stuff and it shows when you speak.
All good points Cole. But, this is the SEC, not the PAC12, not the Big10 etc. I remain optimistic and hope he isn't gone in two years.
Bama fan here that was interested in your take more than anyone else. Love your college football coverage Cube. Wish AU the best every year and just want em to lose one 😬.
👍
Love the info Cube. Tone of respect for your football knowledge and knowledge of this hire. Thanks !
I get the feeling that Nick is not going to let DeBoer flounder. The fact that Saban did not simply disappear, like Spurrier, and finished top 2 in recruiting, is a testament to the kind of man he is. I am sure he will offer whatever DeBoer needs to keep the program strong.
Nick saban hadn't recruited in the south either until LSU, same with urban Myer. No one had experience until they got a shot. I think its a good hire. Yes some players will leave no matter what. But that's just how football works today. It's a culture of right now players. Lets give him time and a fair opportunity. welcome to bama coach DeBoer! Yes nobody is Saban, but nobody ever will be. Let's judge him off the play on the field. Roll tide roll
You literally made the point I've been trying to explain to people. Saban came to LSU from Michigan State and Meyer came from Bowling Green Ohio and Utah.
Yeah but they ain't Saban..
@@clintmorris6451 Umm, no one is
@@clintmorris6451 nobody is. That's a pointless statement
@@RepublicConstitution correct 💯. Nothing but negative haters. Hasn't even hired a staff or coached a down of football. I would like to ask some of these people if their coach was in the playoffs? Because our former coach was and our new coach too.
I don’t know why you aren’t at 100K subscribers. Your knowledge of the game, the way break down your analysis, and the supporting facts you use to validate your opinion is better than most sports analysts I’ve watched. So, when Cole speaks, I listen! 👏👏👍
Sweet mic 🎤 Cube....ROLLLLL TIIDEEE
I love listening to Cole Cubelic analysis. The show he does with Roman Harper on SEC Network, Xs and Os, is the best college football show around!
Thank you
@@CubeShow61Thank you for what you do for college football!
Always great segments, thx CC.
Cole, I appreciate the info. Impressed enough to subscribe. 👍
Awesome job reporting as always!
But great video. Your knowledge and honesty is rare and fantastic. Keep up the great work Cole. I understand you want to temper expectations and not throw any extra pressure on Deboer. There doesn't need to be comparisons
Thank you for this analysis of the new Bama Coach!
Great commentary Cole, thank you
Tremendous respect for Cole’s fair and balanced analytical analysis. Mature and fresh stuff that’s more informative than you get from former players like Kanell and Pollock whose “homer” bias limited their media careers.
Great show Cube ! Roll Tide
Cube is the man! Great analysis!
Love your show and your insights about coaches, about learning new play, about locker room insider stuff, and about what motivates competitive individuals. What you have to say, is intelligent and grows out of experience and feels anything other than a nerd wannabe. The best football nerds are the ones who played the game, and whose brains have survived intact. You’re one of those my friend. Thank you.
Cole I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your emergency podcasts you've done regarding Coach Saban and Coach DeBoer. Your insight and delivery is straight forward, informative and honest. I just subscribed!
Good job, Cube! Very honest assessment. I think he’s gonna kill it. And by that, I mean in the playoff mix every year. Maybe win it once or twice over the next 10 years. I’m as happy as I can be knowing the GOAT isn’t gonna be there. Roll Tide!
I am excited that he has the confidence and fortitude to follow Saban’s legacy. Give him a chance.exciting times for Crimson Tide.
Great listen!
Bama nation is stoked on fire 🔥 so is this team esp! He is gonna be amazing! Bama fans love him.
Courtney Morgan coming is huge and ppl don't know yet
This is a home run hire....he acquires talent and develops talent. It's going to be fun to watch.
He's a PAC 10 guy. This is the SEC. Should have got Dabo
@clintmorris6451 stop please. How long since you heard anything about Dabo
@@clintmorris6451 There are two reasons Dabo would never be hired as HC at Alabama. First, he was on a coaching staff at Alabama that got Alabama put on probation. Second, Dabo's career is currently trending downward and he doesn't seem interested in re-inventing himself. Either that or Dabo doesn't have the ability to re-invent himself as Coach Saban did multiple times during his tenure at Alabama. Furthermore, the ACC is weaker than the PAC-12....why would Alabama want to hire a coach from a cupcake league?
@@clintmorris6451 Dabo is in clear decline.
Until the talent goes off to Ohio St, Wash, NC St, FSU, wherever. Depressed as much about where CFB headed than CNS having to finally retire.
Can he bring his center?
...😅Dam right!!!
Appreciate your show. Very informative and insightful.
Thank you for your shows read and react and I just found this podcast. It was amazing the information that you present is always In-depth easy to follow. I could not recommend any podcast more. Thanks
Love the show!
Great breakdown. If he wins he will be embraced.
Great coverage Cole. Thanks for being the pro yo are .
He is a good coach and will do fine. Still weird that ole Nicks gone.
After speaking with countless true Bama fans, not the fair weather types, the realistic expectations are consistent 9+ win seasons starting out. We realize that we are witnessing the end of an era. Not just in Tuscaloosa, but the entirety of college football. With NIL deals and free agency, star players are going to be hard to hold onto throughout college football. Most everyone I've spoken to is happy with this hire. We believe he has a great opportunity to be successful. Many fans expect to see Alabama in the final 12 come playoff season, which is a possibility. But we have to stay behind him and the team if it doesn't happen.
1st time listener, great information !! Excellent job !!
Glad you found us!
Fantastic show...now subscribed
Love the show Cole!
One of the biggest things will be building relationships with the coaches down here. It’s the core of all of it.
Best in the biz.
Get that Grubbster to Tuscaloosa!
You,Greag,and josh pate are the best
I have no doubt that Coach DeBoer will be successful. The key in these situations is “embrace the past.”
Kalen was the 1st coach i thought of the day Saban retired. I couldnt put my finger on why but its sinking in now. Time will tell tho👍
Enjoyed this episode!
Sure did ❤ coach KD is 🔥 he killing it already.
I guess Coach Saban coming from Michigan State to LSU was the death of recruiting in La. And the South…. What a bunch of fools …
Yeah but Saban seems Southen,, I know he’s from West Virginia which isn’t the south because they betrayed the home state and separated from Virginia.. But,, you talk to people from West Virginia they seem more southern then not..I remember when Rich Rod came to Michigan he sounded so out of place amongst us Yankees it never worked out..
we will see those who are Alabama people and those who are Saban people ... there is a huge difference
Appreciate the KD love ❤️
Sark/Lanning is the 10/10 Freshman hottie sororitute
who slashes your tires and peaks after a year or two. Debeor is the 8/10 Senior Med student who you marry for life and have 3 kids go to Harvard. The way he got off the plane Inknew we had a champion
😂
My opinion as a UGA alum and fan: He will be good, but probably won’t match Saban’s success because of all the changes in college football. The portal has leveled the playing field.
Great hire
I agree, we got the right guy. This man is a devout Christian takes care of community will build a great staff will motivate players and even not being from the south east I believe he's going to be a good recruiter because of the foundation of his family life and his personal beliefs, and he's certainly a proven winner! I disagree with the fact that there's not a potential for us to get a lot of 10 win seasons, correct it's not Coach Saban, and although it won't be the same and will be different, I think this man has the potential be just as good with the players, the University and Tuscaloosa. ROLL TIDE!
He's a liar
I think we are going to see an offense at Bama weve never seen before. This could be epic because the sec hasnt seen an offensive scheme like Deboers will present. Im excited about this hire.
We will see in the fullness of time......
How the f-stop does cube have just 8.44k subs?! 😲
LFG
The only Auburn guy I trust. RTR
The recruiting concerns are real. Deboer's recruiting classes have been pretty underwhelming at Washington. That's why you'll always hear people say "he does more with less". Why does he always have less? Possibly because he's always job hopping, so recruits don't feel the stability you'd like. Penix was a 4 star recruit ti Indiana, he was always hurt, so he never felt comfortable. Penix obviously had talent, but a good percentage of his completions were contested throws to Odunze, who really is a Julio Jones/AJ Green type of receiver. Chris Peterson recruited Odunze.
So who’s the other SEC OC he should go after if Grubb doesn’t come.
I would guess Charlie Weis Jr
Tommy Rees, the one that's already there.
I was told many times before that no one will win like Bear Bryant did. We'll never see 6 National Championships ever again. And then Alabama produced another one. This is Alabama football.
No because you have to be able to recruit at an elite level. And yes he can hire a staff of recruiters with elite SEC experience but the HC at times has to be able to be able to seal the deal at times as well. He has a great resume because he has a great system that works I assume….So did Bryan Harsin. …But let’s go back in time to a HC that Bama hired that was an outsider with a very good resume…Dennis Francione!! Now Dennis did ok his second yr lost at least one game he shouldn’t have lost to Auburn because he was headed to A&M. But he was a system coach..At that time, I dare say the SEC was not what it would become. And his recruiting was horrible & we were left about where Auburn is now as a result.
Negatory captain. You just hang back and watch. A new day has dawned.
So what I heard you say Cole is essentually what I hear when new coaches aee hired anywhere...Oh Kirby Smart says hold my beer wrt 10 win seasons or NCs...
Yes they did
Forget recruiting in the south, can he recruit period? His last 2 recruiting classes at Washington were 26 and 34 IIRC.
ROLL TIDE ROLL
I just hope he proves all these fake fans and haters wrong. This guy had 2-3 stars and had them playing good together. just imagine what he can do with 4-5 stars #RollTide
Next up with Adam Did some great interviews with him
I just hope Alabama fans give him a chance. Don't go screaming to dump him if he doesn't win a Natty in his first season. Go take a look at Nicks record his first season. Sure, we may have more in the stables than Nick did his first year but, the guys gonna need a little time. signed ~ realistic Alabama fan.
They got it right.
Alabama players do the revolving door to other places ... better to develop than recruit in some players
I’m more concerned about the defense and what they do there
104-12
Why not do we get 6 titles and 10 win seasons? We've had two coaches do it and have done it a hundred years now.
Y’all didn’t even know KD .. was first pick lol 😂
Indeed, time will tell……..RTR! 🌿🐘🏈🐘🌿………
Sorta sucks for Tommy hopefully he will still have a position on the staff. I mean dude did up and leave ND to come to Bama so would be sorta messed up for Saban to retire on him an now he is job less
👍
Yes.
If Grubb doesn't come to Alabama, here is the new OC for Alabama.
Kurtiss Riggs.
Passing yards are harder in the SEC than they are in the PAC
DeBoer is obviously an excellent coach. But i think they should've grabbed a coach from the N. Dakota State program of the past 15 years.
Yall gonna find out, soon😅😅😅
Go back to the 90s and let me know your thoughts on the “outsider” from Michigan State, Nick Saban, taking over a southern school like LSU.
Yeah you got it right! Gosh Almighty ! What difference does it make who coaches anyway when you get the best players in the Nation and the second best too..?
yeah, like you did when Georgia was winning the title for how many years? and LSU was kicking your butts?...... LOL you bama fans are delusional....you are not even HALF as good as your think you are.....Georgia will win again next year......oh, and PS,,,,you didn't win this year either....you got hammered by Michigan
hehe you're right!@@mannonmission1
You should maybe talk to the players from UW who have all gone to social media today- they sure don't love the fact they were lied to and had their hearts ripped out after all he preached was loyalty and commitment- 25% of the players showed up today for his crocodile tears blindsided meeting he left early for to jet over to Alabama which speaks volumes. Try to learn the actual truth of how it just transpired in ONE day and just 4 days after a devasting national loss. Then he's jetted off with NO thank you or acknowledgment for the team he just used as a stepping stone. People in the national media just don't know anything because Seattle is just alaska to you
Get over it. Its just football and it happens all the time
What a spin job, he'll be gone in 3 years, never follow a legend and in this case the goat.
Footage will not be like it was when Saban got here nor 4 team 12 or 14 playoff. No school will have complete dominance anymore. This coach hire has beaten Oregon twice he's beaten TX twice. He has a vision not Saban's vision just his vision. He was just in NC 2 yesrs after getting to Washington.
Connection with an area will hurt Bama recruiting
What will tell the story is the reaction of the fan base the 1st season Bama goes 8-4 or 9-3.
Saban as recruiting coordinator?
Well. As a 40 year sec fan I think Bama fans are in for a reality check. I’ve always supported Bama in playoff but you’re gonna take a huge step back. Period. I’m looking at UGA and lsu to surge to top of league. There is a lot of wishful thinking in this podcast. This kid from Washington might be the real deal but you really have no idea. You’ve got your fingers crossed. Bama goes back to pre nick saban.
I’m a Kentucky fan. Bama fans won’t admit it but Alabama football and Uk basketball have huge similarities. Small states. Limited nil. My fear is we will both struggle in the nil world.
LSU is still on a solid foundation that Saban built 20 years ago. You are the one wishful thinking
Bill Curry was atrocious at Ga Tech and Kentucky. Yet he won the SEC at Bama.
Gene Stallings was terrible at A&M, yet won a national title at Bama.
Mike DuBose is one of the worst head coaches in SEC history. Yet he won the SEC at Bama.
Mike Shula was an imbecile, yet won 10 games in 2005.
The Alabama job is the definition of “idiot proof.” DeBoer is being handed the keys to program with arguably the best roster in the country. If he’s just mildly competent, which it sure seems like he is, he’ll be a success in Tuscaloosa.
Well why is Bama 2nd in nil money because if you are not today you want have the type of players that Bama has !!
If you're a Kentucky fan you should leave discussions of college football to others.
@@dalebrooks3152no. Don’t think that is correct. Maybe top 10. No one will catch A&M or Texas.
A&M
Texas
Miami
Tennessee
OSU
Alabama will struggle with this. I’ve accepted as a Kentucky fan. Both states just don’t have that kind of staying power. Georgia, Florida and Texas are sec states with most potential
Gene Stsllings started out 0-3 when hd was hired. I hope fans dont crucify Deboer after his 1st loss
College football just “jumped the shark” they are now a NFL minor league
if DeBoer is so phenomenal then why was Washington embarrassed by Michigan ??? Please explain that
We were embarrassed by Michigan. That statement is irrelevant. Did you not just hear what Cole just said about him.
Big mistake. He inherited a loaded experienced roster. It just needed a QB. He knew Penix and brought him in and it worked. Great coach of someone else's players. That's how he got this job and how he got the WA job from Fresno St. He has recruited nobody. Grubb, his OC, is the guy you better hope he brings with him. Without him he won't make it 3 years. It's the 2nd coming of the last time the Tide got a coach from the state of WA.....Mike Price. Take him to a strip club in Pensacola ASAP and fix this mistake.
He is not Mike Price nobody has been he was from Washington state anyway Saban has said that he is not the best xs and os guy let someone have this types of talent it could be one of the best Bama has had winning and getting your good players paid.
No question a huge mistake
Yeah, he inherited a loaded experienced roster than went 4-8. LOL
@@Don-md6wnAfter coming off a very successful run by Chris Peterson he resigned and passed along a talented team to Jimmy Lake. He coached 4 games in the covid year and got fired during the next season. One of the worst coaches ever. Talented team and he couldn't beat anybody. DeBoer took over for loser Lake. Maybe you should have some kind of knowledge before you post ignorance next time. Were your parents cousins?
The dynasty is over, back when they were posting.
