I think DeBoer could be fired mid year…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
We should hire him if they do. He's 113-16 as a head coach...
Tells me Sherrone Moore is horrible to go 7-5 with that team Harbugh left him, if the defending National Champs can beat Ohio State and Alabama they have no business going 7-5.
He was 12-6 at Fresno.
Both of his years at Washington were with Penix Jr as QB.
A great QB could make Gene Chizik look legitimate.
The rest of his head coaching record is at the NAIA level
The QB for Bummer just doesn’t seem to have an “it” factor to me.
"He won 2/3 of his games at a G5 school" or "He recruited a great QB transfer and won big with him right way" sound like arguments in DeBoer's favor to me...
Don't forget "lost 4 games with one of the most talented rosters in the country"
He doesn't look like he has what it takes to be coached for Alabama. He's made too many mistakes, and he's also tried to make a running back play quarterback. There were several times today that if they had an adequately accurate quarterback, they would've completed the ball.
Unless they go 6-6 or something, he’ll get a third year. Now if they aren’t in the playoff after year three, he’s probably gone.
It doesn’t help that he has zero personality or persona about him.

Plan was always to hire a transition coach to fail and take the heat off Lane in his first years at Bama.
That was never the plan. That’s never anyone’s plan. They hired DeBoer to win & win big. Now he may wind up bringing the transition coach who takes a little of the pressure off the next coach. Big that was never the plan.
Kirfen will be walking the sidelines in T-town in 2026. Write it down.
If he takes an easy offseason and doesn’t look very busy toiling for all things crimson, and they get a slow start outta the gate next fall, he will be smoked.
Anyone thinking a third year for this guy is automatic clearly doesn’t know the kind of asshat hive-mind at work there.

He has to get a better QB. His offense can't be run by Milroe. He is way overhyped. Basically Chris Relf. In the right offense he would be good. Dan could win with him. I don't think he will get fired next year tho by any means. You may want to earmark this post
Milroe wasn’t awesome today by any stretch but it also looked like he was being straight harassed today by the Michigan defense all damn day. Still, the dude ain’t awesome.
I could very well see it happening. I know a prominent Tider who told me about half way through the season that the program had lost some discipline. That's one thing that Saban was very good at. When a coach loses discipline it's extremely difficult to ever get it back. I don't see DeBoer righting this ship.
If Brian Kelly don't make the playoff next season he will be out.
Last years Pac 12 was way more difficult than the SEC is. Even this year big 10> SEC
Pretty sure he was referring to Milroe. And the offense is different this year. He doesn't fit for DeBoer offense. Can't read the defense and can't hit the short and mid depth passes.
Milroe has never really been that great, a clear step down from the likes of Hurts, Tua, Jones, and Young.
DeBoer had a better first year record than Saban did. But he also inherited a better team, although some transferred out when Saban quit.
Why is Alabama considered the gold standard without Saban? He made them the gold standard. They are not that anymore.
Other jobs are just as attractive. Stop thinking in 2007 terms.
Milroe is a fantastic running back that can hit open 5 star receivers often when the entire system is setup for him to do so
