Since 2016 they have won 10 or more games 5 times. Their last national championship came before teams like Notre Dame and State Penn. Ever is an awfully long time.UW will never be in the final again. He definitely needs to move while he can.
With the 12 team playoffs now, their chances are certainly better than never in final againUW will never be in the final again. He definitely needs to move while he can.
I know what you are saying, but playing a Big Ten schedule will be far more difficult for them to negotiate. And they caught lightning in a bottle with Penix this year.Since 2016 they have won 10 or more games 5 times. Their last national championship came before teams like Notre Dame and State Penn.

I do agree that striking while the iron is hot makes sense.
I know he's the flavor of the month, but feels to me like they settled a little too quickly.
The other big names came out publicly and said they were staying. Who else would you have gone after?I know he's the flavor of the month, but feels to me like they settled a little too quickly.

He wasn’t their first choice. They wanted at least Lanning first and then Sarkisian.Disagree. If you know who you want to lollygag around, which is what Pitt would have done.
I tend to agree. I didn’t realize he only had 4 years of head coaching experience in NCAA D1; 2 years at Washington and 2 at Fresno St. the rest of his head coaching experience was NAIA, although he did have success.Yeah not enough of a track record there if I’m Alabama.
Agree. Seems like a pretty big leap for him and a pretty big risk for Bama.Talk about a meteoric rise.
And with Saban gone Bama might not see it for a long while either. No igjt to DeBoer, who was OC at the likes of Eastern Michigan and Indiana just a few short years ago, but when a GOAT level coach retires, there’s nearly always a dropoff and a power vacuum that follows. UGA is right there to fill it, I expect LSU to be rejoicing in this development as well.UW will never be in the final again. He definitely needs to move while he can.
My take as well. The shoes he’ll be trying to fill could not be bigger.I know he's the flavor of the month, but feels to me like they settled a little too quickly.
Looks like Alabama valued expediency over anything.I know he's the flavor of the month, but feels to me like they settled a little too quickly.
Who would you have gone after?My take as well. The shoes he’ll be trying to fill could not be bigger.
You never know.? Hard to predict the future. Where did Franchione, Price or Shula go after their failures at Alabama?Not much head coaching experience for a job like Alabama. From his end, it's a no brainer. It's rare opportunity to coach at a school like Alabama. Even if it doesn't work out, he'll still land another good job.
I don’t have an answer. Probably would have emptied the bank to try to lure Urban. Only college HC of our generation who’s in Saban’s class.Who would you have gone after?
Lanning, Sark, Norvell, Swinney, and Kiffin were not options.
Who could they possibly have interviewed or had serious discussion with in a couple days? These 4 or 5 guys were the only possible options?The other big names came out publicly and said they were staying. Who else would you have gone after?
He beat lanning twice this year and Sark has it going on at Texas. Sark wasn't moving.He wasn’t their first choice. They wanted at least Lanning first and then Sarkisian.
Well, the guys mentioned were nothing great at ‘Bama.Franchione ended up at Texas A&M. Price never coached a game for Alabama. Shula's only head coaching experience was at Alabama. DeBoer is 104-12 in 9 years as a head coach. He'll get a good job.
Don't think he played a down in the game, same with Lanning. The reality of it is, the guy should have stayed at Washington. They were willing to double his salary and more importantly, he was "THE MAN" at Washington. Going to Alabama right after Saban left was dumb. He has to do at lest as good, if not better then Saban did or he will be gone in a year or two. Alabama's advantage was their ability to hand out money to the athletes or their family as needed.He beat lanning twice this year and Sark has it going on at Texas. Sark wasn't moving.
Does DeBoer care about being the man at Washington? It’s Alabama. Those opportunities rarely come around and it’s worth taking a chance.Don't think he played a down in the game, same with Lanning.

Pete Carroll is a possibility.Also, who does Washington go after now? I think that’s a pretty attractive job.
Think I saw that DeBoer owes UW a $12million buyout. He signed an extension there through 2028 in November of 2022 that included those terms.Does DeBoer care about being the man at Washington? It’s Alabama. Those opportunities rarely come around and it’s worth taking a chance.
The strong do what they can. The weak suffer as they must.Law of the jungle in college football. The red elephants trampled the husky.
Would be nice to get him here! 🤔Former Top Pitt Target, 4-Star DE Decommits From Washington
Pitt was a finalist for Dominic Kirks the first time around, but he ended up committing to Washington. He decommitted Friday night after head coach Kalen DeBoer accepted the coaching vacancy at Alabama.
