I listen to a couple of other channels. Have tried out maybe a dozen. This channel, Late Kick With Josh Pate, is hands down, far and away, the best college football channel on the internet.
I love those as well. Try out College Football Nerds too! They don't post often though.
FACTS!!!!!!!
facts
I agree and I suspect Mema does too
Affirmative
In 5 years, this dude went from the OC at Fresno State to head coach at Alabama. Crazy ascent
Not the PAC12
Man was playing ncaa14 in real life
he's a lucky guy for sure. Good coach? who knows
@@crockettwalker3683He's a great coach. No one who knows anything is denying that.
@@crockettwalker3683lol he’s a good coach look at his resume
Ever since Nick Saban retired, Josh Pate has been the only sports person I’ve trusted. He’s been thorough and no BS.
Fact. When he drops shit I listen.
💯
Yep!! 💯
Keeps it real without the hype!!!
Same
As a lifelong Bama fan that lived through some lean years, I LOVE this hire. Just remember, this isn't 2007. Saban left Bama WORLDS better than when he found it. All we need is a guy that knows how to win to steer the ship. I think DeBoer is that guy. Fanbase needs to give him a chance, schedule is BRUTAL next year but I think we are fine long-term
Now you and those thumbs up are just dreaming, The SEC is going to take bama to the woodshed. 5 starts won't come in a year or two. Well it had to end sometime.
@@flman1478don’t compare us to what happened to your team. Cause your team ain’t even in the same Category as Alabama! They took y’all’s Ass to the wood shed! So get that stupid 💩out of here!
@@flman1478you’re so delusional 😂
Saban has coached at Alabama for half my lifetime. I remember pre-Saban Bama well but I’ve gotten so accustomed to seeing him on the sidelines each Saturday during Fall. I’m happy he chose retirement when he did so that he could enjoy it in good health while leaving my favorite team infinitely times better than he found it. Looking forward to the new era. Good or bad, the Tide will always roll
Dang you’re young
@@JPer811 If Saban coached at Alabama exactly half of their life time they'd be 34. Not as young as you might think.
Well said and agree. It's going to be so hard to get used to seeing a new coach wearing that A. I really hope he does well and Bama needs to temper their expectations from what Saban did and we need to support our new coach. RTR
This is a good hire. My only concerns are recruiting and defense. I have heard that Washington was 94th overall in defense in 2023. That won't cut it in the SEC
@@Neo-hw7nuyep, UW defense wasn’t that great nor is DeBoer an elite recruiter. Good to be worried. That said I think he’s a good coach and I think he’ll be a better recruiter at Bama than for the Fuskies. He’s smart, likeable and capable. His defense will improve with better players that Bama can get.
As an Alabama fan I look forward to see what Kalen DeBoer brings to coaching at Alabama.
Me as well !! How can you write someone on without even giving him a chance? We have became too spoiled to winning! Nick had to leave someday! This man was in the college football playoffs last year and "beat" Dan Lanning head to head twice! Please don't change your feelings when he winning
What a bold comment.
Y’all really trying to make him saban smh 😅
Great people person 😅 Bama sucks now stop fronting. Bama lost the best coach ever now they are still at the top hell no 😂
@@bigload9515Somehow I think it's wise that we don't take seriously the intelligence of someone who says Alabama sucks lol
A week ago you could have asked every Bama fan who they want to take over for Saban when he retires and not a single fan would have said Kalen DeBoer. Now that it's a done deal, all the sudden he is every Bama fan's first choice. 🤣
You couldn't be more wrong. He would have easily been my first choice
@@sabanite08interesting that you said “he would have” instead of “he was”. It’s not like the rumors weren’t swirling around on Wednesday. You didn’t already know then?
I agree. I read plenty of comments leading up to the natty, before Bama lost, talking about how it would be a Bama and UW natty and Bama would win because of better coaching. I think the comments were that DeBoer only looks good because he coaches in the weak PAC-12 and has Penix. That if he coached in the SEC he wouldn’t be that good.
Even Josh is riding him lol!
When audio was released of Kirby and Saban talking after SEC championship, Nick said “you were right about one thing, I’m too old for this” Kirby immediately corrected him, but followed that up with “I appreciate everything you taught me coach” that sounded like a respectful and admirable “farewell my friend” and I really felt like Saban was done after the playoffs. The best to ever do it, got all the respect in the world for the man, but I’m glad we have Kirby and that HUGE road block we ran into every year, just got a bit more manageable.
I'm in Vienna with my wife sleeping after planning for us to go to many museums and bakerys tomorrow to eat Sachertorte. I'm secretly looking at college football news in the bathroom
Man it's bedtime lol
I watched some late night games in france a few months ago
Two of the other guys mentioned prominently in the Alabama coaching search, Dan Lanning and Steve Sarkisian, were a combined 0-5 against DeBoer over the past two seasons.
In a conference that plays zero defense good joke.

Just can’t see why all the love for Sarkisian. Until he actually does something people need to tamp the brakes. He has all the money and resources in the world and still hasn’t delivered. Won’t do it next year, either.
The DeBoer detractors don't give this guy enough props. This guy was the AP Coach of the Year, 3-0 vs Lanning, 2-0 vs Sark, and has won everywhere at every level he has coached. He will bring several great players with him through the portal, has a great offensive scheme that will feature a Heisman caliber qb in Milroe, and if he can hire Coach T-Rob at DC-will have the defense solid. If he can talk Bond and Wiliiams into staying-even better. Amazing hire!
@jaygabbard6083: I don't think Milroe is heisman caliber. Robinson as a DC? He used to have a pretty good reputation as a recruiter, but not as a coach. He was awful at South Carolina.
This guy is gonna kill it. He just knows how to win. He’ll have us at 10 or more wins most years and in the playoff. Then, it’s just about if you play well when you’re in. Plus anyone who WANTS to follow the GOAT has balls of stone! Roll Tide!!
Fantastic hire. He will win big there. Congrats Bama
He will have an insane toy chest at Alabama. As long as he can manage 4 and 5 star head cases he will do great👍
How do you know he will win big there?
@@briangreen256yet he doesn’t know how to play the defense side of the ball or recruit makes sense.
@@briangreen256”toy chest” I know what you mean but that’s weird af 😂😂😂
He wont
K. DeBoer is one of those coaches that started at the bottom and worked his way to the top by his own merits. No OC/DC jobs at flashy programs to get his name in the media like many of the usual people mentioned during these coaching searches. Saban did the same thing during his career
Best comment I've read!
Ummm, many coaches have done the exact thing you state, he’s not alone with Saban working his way up, although Saban was head coach at Mich State for several years, as well as LSU prior to testing the NFL. Saban has had more experience at the head coaching level in D1 than DeBoer. He is a rookie in big D1 program coaching, having only a few years. Oh, and the SEC isn’t the PAC 12. He will learn that quickly.
@@CalvinK225then he isn't a rookie lol.
@@CalvinK225he made it farther in the playoffs than any other SEC team so.
Alabama is done in the sec it will be rough to get to a national championship he will lose 2 games a season or more
Watching SEC fanbases lying to themselves about Kalen DeBoer's quality is a little pathetic. It's a good hire, suck it up.
Sure it's a good hire, but it will be a down year.
@@bk6555 I would hope so
I just want to say, I appreciate your story the other night about how Nick Saban changed your life. After you shared that story, I understood you very differently. You are a great ambassador to what you learned from him. Keep passing it on brother.
Been a Bama fan since 1992 and I wasn’t thrilled about this I’ll admit so I did some digging and WOW I was blown away! Track record is phenomenal plus he did something we couldn’t do this year…beat Texas with a roster not as loaded as Bama’s. Can’t wait to see what he does with better resources at his disposal and ROLL TIDE ROLL!
no where near the same roster 😮 if bama loses half the team they'd still have a better roster than what he had at Washington.
Dynamic offensive mind. A winner.
Just be ready to get out that checkbook because that’s the only way Bama will stay near the top of recruiting. Deboer is a notoriously bad recruiter.
He "beat" Dan Lanning twice!! The guy we wanted ! Give him a chance RTR 😊
@@achhkay4229 2-0 vs Sark. Saban was 1-1. Saban had the better team. not saying he's better by any stretch but to me he's shown he has the ability to get it right.
When Mal Moore wrote the check to hire Coach Saban, I wasn’t completely in agreement with the choice but VERY happy to have been shown there was a choice better than my particular choice. I’m hoping that Greg Byrne writing the check for Coach Kalen DeBoer will do the exact same thing. If it even proves close to as successful then things will be just fine in Tuscaloosa going forward. I’m going to do my part and support Coach DeBoer as best I can.
Welcome aboard Coach !!!
RTR
That hire saved Moore's legacy. He was about to go out looking like a loser with his hiring history.
He beat Dan Lanning 2xs head to head
@@achhkay4229 3 times.....
A lot of people slammed Saban as a hire, though very few will admit to that. They’re more May-December fans so I pay them no mind. This hire was the perfect one. Chess move; check and checkmate.
Why didn't you want Saban?
Agreed, great hire!... After Saban, it was going to take not just a great football coach, but also a person of great character.
DeBoer would win anywhere, including Alabama!
Yet can’t play defense 🤣🤣
@@Jrm-xs9qikeep talking cat 💩 somebody will come along and make you eat those words.
@@Jrm-xs9qi Buddy, Alabama is known for defense and its not going anywhere.
@@Jrm-xs9qi and we still have Coach Saban, just whisper in Coach DeBoer's ear.
@BrandonNewbill-nl8eh with Saban at the helm not this bozo deboer
Any Bama fan over 30 should be thrilled. Just remember all of those searches in the past where the candidate had to have a connection to Alabama or Bryant. Gave us some real doozies in Mike Dumbose and Mike Shula. Saban rescued Bama. He was the best coach available and the way I see it so is DeBoer.
Era of Mikes. Quite a dry spell.
He is definitely not the best option. Dabo or kiffin would have been the best option. This was a knee jerk hire and won’t pan out
@@WAZZJRVFL They didn't want the job....Why can't Bama fans accept that? They settled for the best guy available...
@@WAZZJRVFLAlabama alumni was absolutely outspoken against Dabo being offered the job. These are Bama people with deep pockets. Dabo didn't stand a chance.
This hire reminds me of Dabo of Clemson. Not a blue blood but a red blood. A career based on Merit not station. RMFTR
Best thing is that he will definitely hire a good o-line coach.
The center leaving alone will improve the offense.
He will bring his OC with him the guy we tried hiring last year but he went to Washington to yea we will have a great one
@@CareySullivan-cu3fw 😂
@@leerjet31 Not a certainty yet as he may be HC at UW but 🤞
BAMA already has one of the top OL coaches in the game in Eric Wolford. Let's hope DeBoer can keep him.
Husky nation is gutted. Huge bummer for the players, fan base, and program. So sad to see him leave so soon. Definitely a great coach/leader. Only question mark though, was recruiting. Most of the talent on the UW team was already there, recruited by the previous staff. DeBoer brought MPJ and a few other players in, but a lot of talent was already on the team (receivers, o-line, defensive players) and underforming due to the lack of leadership and no star QB. He had the perfect storm for immediate success. DeBoer has been on the move every couple of seasons to new jobs recently, so it'll be interesting to see how he proves himself over the long term 🤷♀
Or if he does. There is always something new and shiny on the horizon. Some folks aren't meant to stay around too long. That's what most people thought about coach Saban. The NFL is always out there, I used to be a fan, until I figured out how rigged it is. The woke political stuff was the last straw for me. Too bad they are too big to fail.
@EricaBliss
I know you guys are. The gold standard HC job in CFB is Bama, and Saban, Byrne and DeBoer executed a perfect chess move. Us old fans are thrilled that he wanted to be a part of our program, the Process, the Dynasty. I hope you guys are very happy with your new HC. He too came from someone else’s school who is gutted at their loss. We always got ticked about Saban’s best underlings getting poached. But CFB is a business first, and trees will fall only to be transplanted somewhere else. I know we got the best man for Alabama, and I wish you the best success. It hurts. It will always happen though. Maybe it won’t happen again for a long, long, successful time.
I looked up his coaching background. He's the real deal and as a 60 year old life long Bama nut I think this is really great hire.❤❤❤Saban wasn't a SEC coach until he was
I am 60 and agree 100%
This 60 year old Bama gal agrees. May the Tide keep Rolling. RTR!
61 and I agree.
Like me you guys have seen bear and saban. Who knows may e we see a 3rd guy win multiple titles, no.presdure but this guy has the resume and all he needs to do it at bama. Here is to round 3 of bama being bama and being g top team people will hate for their success. He got washington to final cfp game so if he can do that with washington bama should be just fine I his hands.
@@RT22-pb2pp I think he will be a good fit. If not then Bama doesn’t let a bad coach hang around too long
Great take Josh. The only concern I have is on the recruiting side. Beyond that this is a homerun. Roll Tide!!
Hire some good coaches that are good recruiters. Bama already have a few on staff already.
Lol what is coach Deboers biggest recruiting win? He has not recruited at any level. He leaves before it bites him and he has to actually build a team
@@briangriffith4574 Thanks to the NIL you no longer have to have a top 10 recruiting class . You can just buy the players you need .
@@eaglerider1826 He took Washington from 4-8 to 14-1 and an appearance in the national championship game with the 26th- and 30th-ranked recruiting classes. Sounds to me like the guy knows how to coach guys up. Given Alabama's name and resources, he should have no problem consistently getting highly-ranked recruiting classes and players from the portal, which will make him even better.
@@briangriffith4574I remember you said the same thing about Dabo Sweeney 😂😂
KDB seems like a very decent choice and I’m a little surprised that some fans weren’t happy with him.
I’m sure he knows exactly what he’s walked into ie the program, the person he’s replacing, the expectations etc etc
My money would be on him to keep doing what he’s doing so by that logic Alabama should be a decent spot next season.
If nick saban , Greg Byrne , and Josh pate is ok with the hire, so am I.
I second that haha
Fact.
Nick Saban nor Josh have a say so. So actually your just riding on what Greg has done. I think bama will fall back into a irrelevant 6-6 team for the foreseeable future
@@JustSpeakingFacts_😂😂😂I’m saving this post.
@@JustSpeakingFacts_if you think Saban had ZERO influence on the decision, you are out of your mind
As a Bama fan I love the hire. Not my first choice but top 3! He earned the hire. He’s better than people think cuz of where he was. He’s a stout coach
Debor beat sark two times he beat Dan Lanning three times that he play them I think bama got them a good coach
Who was your first choice?
Lol good luck recruiting with a coach that has 0 SEC ties, FSU will enjoy poaching more of your players transferring tho
@@doc8013I would’ve waved Kiffin or Norvell. But I’m not complaining at all. I think he’ll be a great coach
@@morganwartman8507 you must be upset still FSU didn’t make it 🥺
Kalen is a good hire from an Xs and Os standpoint and seems like a good dude. My big question is not what's on the field but off it. Can he recruit and more importantly how much control will he have at setting the tempo and culture at Bama. Saban had a unique way of running his program that very few could match. Does the fans, boosters, donors, etc. fully except Kalens way? Or quietly are they whispering that's not what Saban would do. That is going to be the big question for me. Bama needs to go all in on Kalen and effectively commit to the whatever type of program he wants to run. Not just lips service or changes in some ways but everything. Anything less and it won't work
I don’t understand why this man doesn’t have a million subscribers yet. Josh the real deal man
Great he’s a winner. Congrats you met the minimal requirement to get the job. For me how handles his staff hires will be my deciding factor on whether this was a good hire or not. Everyone forgets Saban and Meyer made sure one their Coordinators was an elite recruiter in the SEC (Jimbo Fisher and Charlie Strong). So who Deboer get’s as his Coordinator and nobody poaches Daniel Bush then I’ll have a better idea if he’s ready for the SEC or not.
I love the hire. Honestly, Sark was my first choice, but thanks to Josh for reminding me what coach beat Sark this year. Our new coach!!! As everyone, sad to see Saben leave but happy for him and Miss Terri.
Welcome aboard to our new family member! As always, ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
Yep. Sark. Then Kirby. Then Dabo. But like this hire.
DeBoer beat Sark the year before as well.
I’m a 4 or 5 Star WR I’m coming to Alabama now. Coach D will get the right WB and Oline in place
When I heard that Byrne was considering DeBoer, my reaction was ecstatic. Everyone has been fawning over Dan Lanning, but Lanning took over a program that has been recruiting well for about 2 decades and was well stocked by Christobal and DeBoer came into a program that has been very inconsistent and has had frequent turnover in the coaching staff and he beat Lanning twice even though Lanning had the advantage on resources.
I think it’s a great hire and I am eager to see what he can do with the machine he is inheriting.
Lanning is still a phenomenal recruiter. Best believe Kirby hated to lose him.
"recruiting well for about 2 decades"
Lmfao what? Oregon literally fired a coach 8 years ago after losing 8 games because he failed to recruit any talent to Oregon. They've been recruiting well for 6 years, and even then Lanning has had some of the highest turnover in his 2 years at Oregon and in just 2 nears has nearly entirely gutted the roster from any of Mario's guys
@@lul4501Lanning walked into a team that has had an average recruiting ranking of 9th since 2019, DeBoer walked into a team with an average recruiting ranking of 38th since 2019. In fact, Washington's recruiting class was ranked 95th the year before DeBoer arrived, they've had zero 5 star recruits since 2019. As for Oregon, Nike does their recruiting, not Lanning. There is a reason why Oregon has had the most money donated to their program since 2005 in all of college football at 1 billion! Nike. Oregon leads the next team on the list in donations by a whopping 120 million since 2005. Washington has only had 420 million donated to them since 2005. DeBoer is a far superior coach to that of Riverboat Lanning.
@@TrashPanda324of course he did.
This is THE ONLY sport’s talking head show and host I watch on a regular basis. Josh is entertaining and informative and best of all he’s not full of himself or obnoxious about what he does.
Thanks for the great show and analysis of the only sport that really matters, College Football.
Oh, and Roll Tide!
So excited for our new coach and to see what our future holds.
As a lifelong UW fan I find it sad that no one seems to care that his leaving means gutting UW and it's future. The mass exodus will leave us in tatters, all because he left.
Seriously Josh’s response here is kind of disappointing. Is his audience just Bama fans? As a gator fan, I assure you they’re the only ones who want to see the Saban empire continue. A rising UW would’ve been awesome for college football as a whole and now it’s in complete Jeopardy. WTF.
@@whaddup5417 Sucks to suck buddy.
@@crimsonkings205 Never said the empire would continue ;). Good luck recruiting without Nick.
Now you know how oregon state feels after jonathan smith left for MSU. Not to mention UWs lawyer is the one trying screw osu & wsu out of their pac 12 money after being left high & dry. Its a level playing field now :)
I was just thinking that same thing. I feel bad for UW. Hopefully, another great coach will continue your ascend in the college football nation. Go Dawgs ❤️🖤
Klatt called it. I liked his take, I also really enjoy Josh's take here. Great point about being 5 and OH against the two guys who supposedly turned down the Bama job before DeBoer got it
He seems like a real professional, with a calm spirit and level head. I was rooting for Wash in the nc, but hard to win against the system. Looking forward to what he can do for Alabama. 17 years ago we didn’t know what Saban could do for Bama and look what happened. We have to give this guy the same opportunity. RTR!
This is a good hire, I told my friend who is a bama fan. I was impressed what he did with Washington in 2 years
Saban has office still down the hall to help him out and coach Deboer ask the Goat many questions as possible
Ive watched alabama with my grandfather since ive been old enough to remember i dont remember the game but i remember being on the couch with him in 93 against miami and i remember when i was in middle school asking him if he ever thiught bama would be good again... he has seen the 2 greatest head coaches in history coach this school it took almost 30 years for him to see what i saw in 17... i say that to say this most people wont or havent experienced that or wont experience that i cant be excited about a new coach because the only joy ive truly experienced as a bama fan has been with nick saban as a coach until the season starts i wont know how to feel about any of this
So does this mean that the model and Josh will start overlooking Bama, just like they did Washington?😂😂😂. This is a great hire!!! Roll Tide!!!
Lol , good one .
I’m a bama fan and I’m excited by this hire, now would I rather have nick saban, of course who wouldn’t he’s the G. O. A. T. but I like this hire. U never know how these things will play out cause we can’t see the future, but I think this guys a winner and with the bama program he’ll have every advantage to bring his coaching to the next level and that includes having saban at his disposal, if he’s smart he’ll take full advantage of that.
The fact that he's confident enough to follow Saban says a lot about who this guy is. The last thing Alabama needed was a coach that was afraid of Nick's and Bear's legacy.
Lmao. Hopefully Bama fans don’t think it will just continue to roll as normal, if so, they will be let down. This is an entire program change to his way of doing things, then he has to recruit, keep players from entering the portal, etc.
@@CalvinK225
Personally I think the expanded playoffs, portal and paying the players is the biggest reason Saban retired.
It's one thing to recruit players based on NFL prospects and convincing parents you'll watch over their kid but then to have to sell them on earnings potential from ad revenue. Based on everything I've heard about Saban's recruiting style I just can't see him doing that but many other most certainly would.
Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if all this doesn't end up ruining college football.
@@CalvinK225 Well no shit Calvin. You're not breaking some news here.
Your first point is excellent!
😂bruh he got paid to follow him you would to
There will never be another nick saban but to get a guy who wins everywhere he goes took the Washington huskies to the championship Alabama fans be happy
Josh, I agree with you 99% of the time. This was their 4th or 5th choice. Last guy to jump feet first into the SEC for the first time begat Hugh Freeze. This feels a little like that. And BTW, Kelly has really not done anything yet, that experiment is still ongoing.
I love everyone acting like he was the first choice. Great plan B though.
@@jsauce311 He just played for the national championship. He beat Dan Lanning and a red hot Bo Knix twice this season and Texas/Stark with Quin Ewyers . He can coach football. Now he has the talent and Saban to guide him. If he can handle the pressure and demand of SEC big time coaching. He will be Great. Don't see anyone being better than Saban though. Everyone is still copying the (Goat ).
Just surround him with some great recruiters that know the SEC footprint and he will be fine. Great X's and O's coach. Great gameplan coach. Saban was the GOAT, but he saw that he was tired and kept his word. He would not ride the program down by staying too long. What a gift. Thanks Coach Saban and welcome Coach DeBoer.
I like this guy and this hire. Not a Bama fan but love when they are a power in the sport, and I think he will get them in the playoffs regularly. He's not Saban, but who is?
to bad he doesn't believe in Defense
A couple of weeks ago
Josh said “I’m not even sure people know how to spell Kalen Daboer in Alabama” or the south, but regardless, you were right about that
This was a great take. Believe it or not, this is very hard for any coach to come to Alabama, After the Goat. This is a great opportunity for him, the university, and the fans. I hope all the players buy in.
Kalen Will Be a Great Coach for Alabama! Roll Tide!
Alabama instantly becomes explosive offensively. Very dynamic passing game.
Saban made Bama offensive because of the game. This guy thinks offensive.
You still need defensive prowess. Be prepared for a down year or two
Lmao. Oh yeah, over night just exploding. Poor Bama fans, they want this guy to be so good, yet he hasn’t done crap yet. He better think defense, this isn’t the PAC12 where defense is absent.
@@CalvinK225If Nick Saban thinks he is a great hire, enuff said...
@@bk6555 ok, we shall see.
@@CalvinK225 ok, we shall see
I think Kalen will be a great coach for our Alabama Crimson Tide. Congratulations. ❤
How is it more logical to conclude that DeBoer was the first choice? You expect us to believe that Bama waited more than 24 hours to leak they were in negotiations with their top choice? I call BS. He was at least their second.
Bama could have hired a high school coach and the national media would have slobbered all over it. It’s ridiculous.
💯 Josh Pate. He's an AMAZING offensive mind. I'm a Bloomington Indiana native, & 1 of the biggest(& only)DIE HARD IUFB fans, & what he did the season he was with us- 2019, was over the moon. We had the worst OL in the B1G, yet he schemed & TAUGHT our squad how to achieve the 2nd best team total offense, with that terrible OL, & 4th best scoring Offense. That's like some David Blaine illusionism right there! Btw, I was right there with you on Scot Frost to Lincoln. I thought it was a slam dunk, but there was more to Scot Frost than met the eye at UCF.
Thanks for all the quality content! Definitely one of the most honest, unbias outlets for all things college football there is. The best part is that Josh isn't afraid to admit when he's wrong like so many others do!
As a UGA fan, I am VERY excited about this hire for the gumps 😂
You should be. Only being 1-8 vs saban and all
@@nickamalfitano3613That was funny 😁
@@nickamalfitano3613 it was saban.. your new era has begun
Bama fans r entering the darkside😂
Gumps?
@@MaryEverling I think it's a reference to Forrest Gump
Everyone needs to buy in to this and support this guy
The Brian Kelly comparison is exactly what I was thinking. I also think he is a good portal player. I live in Indiana and watched Penix take off to Washington. He’s young enough to adapt to new College football
All things considered, this is about as good as you can hope for as a Bama fan. Saban showed his unselfishness and bowed out while the team was still at the top. DeBoer is setup to succeed and chances are he will.
He can coach. Lets see how successful he is at recruiting his own players. Never understood people saying Dan Lanning is a proven winner. Just 2 years at Oregon and it seems like most everyone does well until they get plucked by another school. We will see how good Lanning is in the years to come in the Big 10.
Lanning is a winner…..5 losses in 2 years. One to the eventual national champions (first game ever as HC), 3 times to national championship runner up in Washington. They absolutely should not have lost to the Beavers in 2022. You are a winner when you can count on one hand how many losses you have over multiple seasons.
One of the best out there hands down. Keep up the good work.
As a SEC and V🍊L fan, I believe they made a fantastic hire! Congratulations to all involved. And GOD BLESS JP AND EVERYONE 🫶🏻 🏈
You are the golden unicorn we have been searching for. The kind-hearted and good Vols fan. Bless you and lead yourn to follow your way.
Bless your heart as a bama fan we don't hear that often. Thank you, can't wait to see what both programs are moving forward Tennessee looks like they may have a lil something
Heck, I would be surprised if TENN is not in playoff contention next year. UA/UT playing for playoff positioning.
Thanks for being nice about it! RT! I hope you have an amazing year as well.
As an Alabama fan from Alabama, I love it!
Just a quick question - since DeBoer was at Fresno for 2 years and Washington for two years, how many of his starters at those teams were players he recruited vs ones he inherited from the coaches before him?
Good question
Very very few. At UW the team was mostly 6yr seniors and players recruited by Jimmy Lake. Shocking considering Jimmy was a shit recruiter. Only Penix and a few others transferred to play for DeBoer.
Really like the hire. First order of business, promote T Rob to DC. Thank you Coach DeBoer for accepting the challenge. The Ferrari that Coach Saban is handing to you is yours. Drive the hell out of it! RTR
Is Auburn rolling the trees again like they did 2 days ago? Lol
Well done! Great hire! Potentially the best hire possible. This guy has potential to be one of the coaching greats. He has taken “irrelevant” programs and made them relevant. He has (from what I can tell) a great attitude. I’d like to see him show up, do great, and retire. My fellow Bama fans please realize. We lost 6 season one under the GOAT. Give the guy a chance. Next year Might be rough but it’s all good. Sabans going to have an office at Bryant Denny😂. ROLL TIDE!!!
Um, I assume you’re talking about just Sioux Falls and Fresno State? If you’re implying UW is irrelevant then it’s only irrelevant to you. I mean, cmon! Was UW irrelevant when Don James dominated college football and won UW their 2nd natty? Was it irrelevant when Rick Neuheisel took them to the Rose Bowl, or when Chris Peterson was HC and took them to the Peach Bowl? UW is in the Top 25 of the winningest colleges in NCAA football history. In fact Washington has the 2nd most wins in Pac12 history (behind USC). I know it’s not the coveted SEC or the 6 other colleges that are always talked about, but UW isn’t irrelevant.
Deboer IS GONE BE VERY SUCCESSFUL AT ALABAMA! All He Needed Is The Right Roster‼️💯🔥🐘
Gone? He’s here. YeS , he’s going to
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He has the right roster Bama has three qbs I think milroe won't be starting next year but we are very talented on all positions
Ah, classical hoarding of talent and then having them sit around collecting dust 😂 The portal is still open, better wait and see. Oh and hope that Deboer gets some defensive vision going, you need that in the SEC.
JOSH, Deboer just pulled the 38th ranked recruiting class in a year they made the playoff. That's comical
Bama nailed it. The guys who know ball in the media are very very impressed. I love it.
Well JP, I know what I’ll catch from some Bama ‘fans’ for saying this but I don’t worry about them, so here goes: I LIKE IT. I trust Saban, we have a really great top drawer AD, and I LIKE IT. I like it, I trust the heads that be at my Bama, and I LIKE IT. It’s going to be a transition. But everything is transitional now with the portal and NIL and CFB as I’ve known it for decades is dead, dead, dead as a door nail, so let’s light this candle! The Saban era is gone, but he’ll still be whispering.
Trust the process. RTR 🐘🏈
Kalen DeBoer, welcome to Alabama, welcome home, sweet home!
Edit: Yes, born in Bama, been for Bama since the Bear, seen it all. I definitely remember all the Saban naysayers when he stepped off the plane. They don’t remember panning Saban but ooooh, I remember them pouring out the hate. I’ve seen it all. Gonna see some more, RTR!
WELCOME HOME, KALEN DEBOER!!!
I LOVE THIS HIRE PATTE.....Dude WINS everywhere he goes
As a 45 year old lifelong bama fan…
I couldn’t be happier
lol he will be a failure, he has never had the pressure of a program like alabama
I’m almost seventy and this is one fine chess move. Saban and Byrne did us proud!
Meteoric rise. We'll see how it goes. I think Bama will chug along pretty good for a couple of years just based on what Saban has built. He's IMO a PLENTY good coach, an excellent coach. The key is at a place like Bama, although there might not be any fan base quite as spoiled as Bama is, CAN HE DEAL WITH THE PRESSURE? That's the key. That level of pressure just wrecks a lot of folks. About as good a hire as I think they COULD have gotten.
Very happy considering. Guys a winner so let’s ROLL!
Always have been and always will be an Alabama fan. Up or down, good or bad, doesn't matter. Roll Tide Roll!
You're the best Josh. Straight up !
Thanks Josh@ Ive watched a few other podcasts (yours is the BEST) but they did all say what you are saying for the most part. DeBoer is a great coach, disciplined, hard working and a great offensive coach. Thank you for all you do!! God bless!
ROLL TIDE!!
🐘🐘🐘🐘
Thanks Josh. You are my absolute go to for insights into college football.
Like Bear said, “ They will love you if you win”.
Josh was gonna hype whomever Bama hired
Only 2 years coaching a power 5 school but he did lead the huskies from a 4 and 8 season to a National championship caliber team! Welcome Coach Rtr!
Was looking at other coaches when our guy Norvell's name was bounced around. Is DeBoer really freaking 80-3 as a head coach? That's freakin insane!
Everyone saying DeBoer doesn't understand Southern culture needs to understand that South Dakota values are the same as Southern values.
Not even close dood the north vs south recruiting is very very different and deboer doesn’t know how to play defense
He means that South Dakota is super conservative the same way Bama is. So dealing with bigoted donors who see Black athletes as commodities won’t be new to him.
If losing in the natty was the first tower being hit for Washington fans, this must be the second tower going down lol
I’m not sure if you’re being insensitive and using the circumstances to mock and laugh at Washington fans, or if you’re actually trying to be empathetic and sympathize with our pain… It’s actually really hard. Devastating, like your eloquent example. We get to the natty but lose the natty. But we have hope because we have a great HC. Pete Carroll gets fired, so that’s devastating. Then our awesome UW HC, that carries our hopes and dreams of getting back to the natty, rug pulls leaving us with a bare bones team and nothing recruited. It’s kind of a big middle finger. Its crushing. So, thanks if you’re genuinely sympathizing. It’s been a crappy week.
@@JJR9000 I was reposting a joke I’ve seen a lot of places already lol, I have no problem with Washington really, and jokes aside I think you guys will be fine in the long run. Maybe next year is a step back, maybe it was already going to be based on all the players that were leaving. What DeBoer did sucks, and honestly I’m pretty surprised. I get that it’s the Bama job, but it’s going to come with so many strings and issues I’m surprised he wants to deal with that when he already had such a great program that literally got farther than Bama this year. But I’m sure you guys will have options in terms of head coaches, and even if it doesn’t click next year perfectly I doubt it’s a complete reversal.
@@MrParanoiaAgent apologies for my reaction.
@@JJR9000 lol you’re good, if anything I’m a dick for making a 9/11 joke. Welcome to the Big 10, hopefully we have some good games next year! And I hope BOTH our teams beat Oregon next year!
They could've hired Charlie Strong, and he would've given it his stamp of approval. This channel carries Alabama' s water
So glad Bama will not go through a period like after Bear died. It took a long time to move on past The Bear. Bama suffered because of that myopia.
Wut? Literally everyone was saying "No one wants to be the coach that fills in Saban's shoes. You want to be the coach AFTER that coach!" Now everyone thinks Daboer will bring the Natty home every year without skipping a beat. 😂
@bk6555 Maybe. Were you around 1983-2007 as a Bama fan? The boosters made it so that only one of Bear's boys could be the coach. Except for Stallings, none of them found success. That was the Era of hapless Mikes. It's a different Era now. Different in terms of coaching, recruiting, and how teams are ranked.
105-12. He is a winner in multiple places. Welcome to Alabama Coach DeBoer! Roll Tide Roll! Oh and please bring your OC with you!
This was a monster hire!
For the rest of the SEC. Let me thank you in advance.
As a Bama fan, and as DeBoer becomes accustomed to the 6’4”, 255 lb, 4.5 40 athletes that predominately exist in the south / southeast, he will continue the success. Bama could not have accomplished a better hire to continue the standard.
The only downside to DeBoer is recruiting. But with the right staff hires / if Saban is genuinely hanging around to help, that can be fixed.
And he doesn’t know how to play defense
@@Jrm-xs9qi He's an Offensive minded HC, that's not his side of the ball. Just like Saban was a Defensive HC so he didn't call the Offensive.
He just needs to hire a good DC, and let them work.
@@CrashB111 yea and his whole offense got picked apart by Michigan 💀
@@Jrm-xs9qiso did Alabama’s and every other team Michigan faced? Have you considered maybe Michigan was just that stout on defense? Casual.
@@rdhodges30 I’m a casual? Buddy bama lost by one touchdown while Washington lost by 21 with a way better offense than bama🤣🤣🤣🤣
Urban Meyer was the big fish in the SEC, before Saban came to Alabama. Saban made him quit at Florida twice. The SEC has become so much tougher since came to Alabama.
Kalen DeBoer is a great coach but his lack of recruiting is a massive question mark and it never bitten him because he had great transfers and inherited a great talented roster . 40th ranked recruiting class will not do it every year
THIS is the main red flag I see with Kalen. He hasn't built a roster at any of his D1 stops, he takes the inherited talent and succeeds with it, but he hasn't stayed anywhere long enough at the FBS level to demonstrate he can sustain success in one place cycle after cycle. The second flag is the defenses have been suspect. Fortunately for DeBoer, Saban is an expert in D and in recruiting/talent acquisition, so will no doubt help the new coach improve in those areas if he's receptive to taking that advice.
josh is very smart with his information loved this video all makes since perfect hire for the Tide best choice for DeBoer and Bama RTR
The DYNASTY continues...not necessarily we are going to win a Natty for the next 3-5 years but I'd say we make playoffs at least 3 of the 5 years and a SEC title game.
😂
You are gonna lose 6-7 games next year🤣🤣
It will be a down year or 2 for Bama, lol.
If that’s his record, Bama fans will run him off. I bet if he goes 9-3 next year they’ll want him fired
@@blondie214 lol, we know better. Well, some of us. Even when Saban came in, I was happy with just getting to a bowl game that first year. Everything takes some time. Just as long as he doesn't take as long as Lincoln Riley to realize his deficits, he'll be fine.
True! I am from Alabama but I am successful in Washington DC area
We'll see. Best hire they can go with given what's going on, and he's had success with mildly inferior rosters, might be unreal with great rosters possible if they can retain most of the talent there.
I don't know much about Kalen DeBoer, but I will say that the man has to have nerves of steel. Either that, or he really has no idea what a buzzsaw he has just walked into. I hope for his sake and the sake of other Bama fans like me, that it's the former. Because he has just taken on the most difficult job in the history of college football to date. In an era of unprecedented volatility with the playoff format changing, NIL, transfer portal craziness, and massive conference realignments, this man decides to try to succeed the greatest head coach in the history of the sport at a school, after 17 years, in the most brutal conference with possibly the most unforgiving fanbase in college football. And it's not like Nick Saban's coaching acumen had started to decline, and the cupboard was bare at Alabama. Saban had just won an SEC title and made it to the playoffs for the 8th time.
