Alabama fans—it’s time to recognize what’s unfolding before our eyes.
In just over a year, Kalen DeBoer, Courtney Morgan, Bob Welton, and the entire Alabama staff have done what many thought impossible: they’ve not only steadied the ship after Nick Saban’s departure—they’re charting a bold new course. DeBoer inherited not just a program, but the weight of a dynasty, and within two recruiting cycles, he’s reshaped the roster, replacing over 70 players. This team is no longer built on Saban’s recruits—it’s DeBoer’s now.
And look at the results: five five-star commitments and a recruiting operation unmatched nationally. Detractors may call it the “Saban Effect,” but that’s missing the point. DeBoer embraced the legacy, welcomed Saban’s ongoing presence, and used it to reinforce the Alabama brand. That’s not luck—that’s leadership.
Credit also belongs to the assistants and support staff. The transfer portal? Quiet. Why? Because this staff is building relationships, culture, and trust. Players aren’t just coming—they’re staying. That’s rare.
DeBoer’s 104–12 pre-Bama record wasn’t a fluke. He’s a builder. Year one had growing pains, but flashes—like the Georgia game—hint at the championship-level ceiling. Now, with momentum and vision, Alabama is once again pointed toward the top.
To DeBoer, Morgan, Welton, and every name behind the scenes—thank you. Alabama didn’t just hire a coach; they hired a leader to carry us from the greatest era to the next.
