Social media reacts to Alabama hiring Kalen DeBoer as head coach

Nick Saban retired from coaching not even two days ago and the Crimson Tide already has his replacement. After 17 years and a half-dozen national championships, Saban won’t be on the sidelines for Alabama. Now, it’ll be Kalen DeBoer.

DeBoer joins the Crimson Tide program after coaching at Washington for the previous two seasons. In 2023, the Huskies made it all the way to the national championship game, but fell short against Michigan.

Fans had thrown around a handful of high-profile names over the last tow days as potential candidates for the Alabama head coaching job. We now have our answer and it’s DeBoer, who will head to Tuscaloosa with an impressive head coaching record of 104-12.

Here’s what fans had to say about the latest Alabama hire.

Welcome to the SEC, Kalen

If we lose this game, “it’s his first SEC game m, give him a break”

If we win this game, I will be the MOST insufferable person on this app. https://t.co/yEx6jK3xNf

This is going to be a very fun offense

This is unreal

How most fans felt when they heard the news

No concerns about recruiting

If we didn’t think DeBoer could recruit he wouldn’t have been hired, I’m not worried at all.

Red (DeBoer’s Version)

Rivalries run deep

Bama just hired a coach with more playoff wins in his career than Auburn, Tennessee, & Ole Miss COMBINED

Train keeps rolling!!!

Please please please bring Ryan Grubb (OC) and Jamarcus Shephard (WR coach)
