The transition to a new head coach in Alabama football has certainly been a significant shift with Nick Saban’s retirement. Kalen DeBoer has stepped in, and while the change felt abrupt for many, including offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic, DeBoer has managed to keep the team on track.
Kapilovic’s surprise at Saban’s retirement, especially given the ongoing interviews for new staff members, highlights just how unexpected the decision was. Saban’s legacy looms large, but DeBoer seems to be making a strong start.
With a perfect record so far, including a notable win over Wisconsin, the team appears to be adapting well under DeBoer. The upcoming matchup against Georgia will be a true test, not just for DeBoer, but for the entire squad. It’ll be fascinating to see how they handle such high stakes against a top rival. Football fans will definitely have their eyes on Tuscaloosa!
