The people over at Alabama Crimson Tide are going to defend Kalen DeBoer through and through. The former coach for Washington got the opportunity of a lifetime to be the head coach for Alabama. The only issue with that was that he followed up right after the exit of Nick Saban, who left behind a huge pair of shoes to fill.

Nick Saban’s retirement from the sport shocked the entire world of college football. The 72-year-old was one of the best coaches of the sport and had an unbelievable legacy with Alabama. Now that he has left, the fans are quite skeptical about the once-great Alabama, more so because DeBoer has taken over the reins from Saban. In a recent report, Kirby Smart, the coach for the Georgia Bulldogs, went after DeBoer and said that Georgia is more worried about Texas than Alabama. Turns out, these words didn’t stick right with Greg Byrne who wasted no time in looking out for the new HC.

Byrne said, “Sometimes in today’s world we all want instant answers and responses, but in reality, he’s very thoughtful, I can tell, in how he’s approaching the staff, how he’s approaching just managing the roster and connecting with the kids.

He added, “Not to say they weren’t equally huge transitions — they were. But from [DeBoer] to go from Coach Saban and what he means to our university and college football and everything else between today, this is a really challenging transition. But I’ve been extremely impressed with his approach from the second he’s gotten here and embracing our culture at Alabama, embracing Coach Saban. I think he’s done a really nice job with it. Excited to watch him get out on the practice field with the team for spring ball, too.” Thus even Byrne believes that DeBoer will have a lot of difficulties in taking over for Saban, but feels as if he’s ready for the challenge. With all that said, here’s a look at what Greg Byrne looks for in a coach.

Byrne said, “One of the things, you know, I’m in my 17th year now being an AD, you know, I haven’t batted 1,000 hiring coaches, but I’ve been fortunate to hire a few good ones here and there, and the one thing that all of them have in common, besides the things that I said, those who have success are very smart. Coach DeBoer I can tell already, is really smart. He’s very thoughtful. You know, sometimes in today’s world, we all want instant answers and responses, but in reality, he’s very thoughtful already, I can tell.” Thus, the fans will look on to Kalen DeBoer with keen interest as he tries to prove himself against the Saban name.
