DeBoer's winning pedigree and offensive innovation offer Michigan a chance to rebuild. But can he truly conquer Tuscaloosa's shadow?
It’s safe to say that Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach Kalen DeBoer took the most high-pressure position available when he arrived in Tuscaloosa. Taking over for legendary head coach Nick Saban is a role that many coaches may want to run from.
There is at least one ESPN college football analyst that isn’t ready to close this chapter of the coaching book.
DeBoer and the Crimson Tide's chief focus can now be on the Sooners after a previous loss to Oklahoma last month put Alabama in several playoff elimination games down the stretch. The Crimson Tide suffered three giveaways during that 23-21 setback in Tuscaloosa despite doubling Oklahoma in total yardage and largely dominating the contest.
The former Crimson Tide gunslinger broke down why he doesn't think DeBoer should entertain an potential offer from Michigan.
