Kalen Debor did so much with so little. He beat Lanning twice, Sarkisian twice and took Washington to a natty. He also has a great track record as a coach. I knew Alabama got a great coach.
from an oklahoma guy on the outside looking in I’m not surprised that this is happening and no one should be shocked this is what they do and deboer has literally won every where he’s been.
Hey Matt, I have a video idea for you. I know how you like to do documentaries on certain players, but instead of certain players, I have an entire team in mind do a video talking about what happened to Texas A&M legendary 2022 recruiting class
Still the Saban effect is in the air at Bama.. If he can still recruit like that in 5 years, then you may be able to say recruit like Saban… too early to compare….
@@chrisvinson1165Alabama brand is recruiting. Not Kalen Deboer. Does not matter who coaches at alabama they will always get top recruits just like a lot of other big time programs. Look at Ohio State with Ryan Day.
@@daredevil5072 then why was the talking point that deboer couldn't recruit at Alabama a thing a few months ago. It was the big story until he started landing them. Again, the goalpost was moved
@@chrisvinson1165 because he can’t recruit 😂 i literally just said alabama brand is recruiting. Not him. I am still standing on that. You could put bryan harsin at alabama they still gonna recruit well. Texas has been getting good recruiting classes for years but are just now relevant again.
Bama won Championships in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1960s, 1970s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. They did it with 5 different coaches. Nick Saban was amazing, but it was never all about him. No other school has that pedigree of Championship football....none.
Not a Bama fan, but this narrative that Alabama's entire program will fall off without Saban makes no sense. All you have to do is look at their history, they've won 18 national championships with 5 different coaches, with Bear Bryant and Nick Saban winning 6 each. Plus Kalen DeBoer was an incredible recruiter at Washington, and it’s no surprise to see him continuing that at Alabama with the foundation Saban built
Do a video on college athletes not following through on NIL promo deals and running away with free product/food/whatever. I know I’m not the only company being taken advantage of like this
Hey Matt! Can you do a what happened to Daryll Clark video (former Penn State QB) would be a perfect video! The man went 22-4 as a starter and the won a big ten championship. Played in the rose bowl. Finished in the top 10 both seasons, he was the starter. And he barely gets a mention among top PSU QBs. In fact, still run into fans who wish Devlin got more of a look.
Crazy thing is, Alabama is also in the lead for 5 star cb Dijon Lee. And in the running for j Terry 5 star DL. As a non Alabama fan your definitely sick seeing a coach of kalens ability get these guys
Please wait until after signing day…🤦♂️ None of these 5-stars have even verbally committed yet. Also you don’t want to end up like FSU running their mouths only to have all their 5-stars decomit at the very end 🤣 Saban was the best at flipping recruits and getting guys through the finish line.
Nice video Matt but you put the 247 team rankings for last years class. This current class and all the players mentioned are apart of the 2025 team rankings. Roll Tide.
I put two and two together. People said Bama was going to lose 3 or more. My response is. People are stupid. We got as good shot at another natty as anyone. Saban inherited trash. DeBoer did not. Thank you Saint Nick and watch out Kirby and Texas land shark. ROLL TIDE
Ok no one thought bama was going to fall off. Secondly i have not seen any 5*’s on your team. Also OSU is in the poll posision and we are not slowing down either. What recuiting service are you looking at? See ya in the playoffs! OH
The one thing that I have noticed that is concerning is that the overall team recruiting ratings have dropped by 2 points (last 3 years have been 94-96 and this year 92+). It is early though.
Well no shit he is!!!! They still have the same facilities and schooling/ education for the people to further themselves it’s not like Saban took it with him when he left
@@DEEZ_CLANGamingYes, but that also means Bama will climb up, because they're number 2/3 right now in recruiting and will still be getting more legit recruits
@@DEEZ_CLANGaming Oh yea, he accidentally used this year's recruiting rankings instead of 2025, but my point is that I wouldn't be surprised if they end up number 1 in recruiting, because they're already top 3 and will finally get some 5 stars coming in
If I’m not mistaken isn’t saben still in the building he’s gonna make sure Debor is set up going forward now do I think debor going undefeated nah he’s prolly losing 2 games at best only cuz these players gotta understand his scheme it’s the same way I feel bout my wolverines
Auburn what hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddduuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@btspnreal in fairness the Huskies became a nil trend for a few years. It will always relocate. DeBoer is responsible for that however. This is an entirely different conference, and 10 steps higher than the Pac 12
That makes no sense 😂 all he does is develop players, why do you think he's literally won everywhere. These weren't top programs he was inheriting. Sioux Falls only had 1 championship before, but once he became HC, they won 3 championships in 5 years. Before he was an OC at Fresno State, they were 1-11, once he joined staff, they went 22-6 in 2 years. Before he became HC at both Fresno State and Washington, both teams were 4-8, he then led Fresno State to a 10-3 record in their legit season and Washington to 25-3 and a national championship appearance in 2 years. All this while having way less talent and beating better teams along the way. Deboer knows how to win. Giving things time, he'd definitely win a championship at Bama
Matt. Alabama brand is recruiting. Not Kalen Deboer. It doesn’t matter who Alabama coach is they will always recruit well does not matter who their coach is just like a lot of other big time programs. Look at Ohio State with Ryan Day.
@@DuragVon oh but kalen deobeor is the best sec coach since sliced bread? Kirby Smart owns kd already. Get ready for that september date in tuscaloosa.
@@daredevil5072 We won’t know how well Deboer does in the SEC until games start, but things are looking positive so far. Kirby Smart and Deboer haven't faced each other as head coaches to my knowledge, and until now, Deboer hasn’t coached at a school with talent comparable to Georgia's. Who will outperform whom remains to be seen. What I will say is, I expected Kirby to be the next best coach after Saban retired. However, it seems Kirby might face more challenges than I initially thought, given how the game is evolving. It’s increasingly becoming about who can afford to pay the most for top talent. Take Ohio State, for example-they’ve invested heavily in their roster for the upcoming season, even though their reputation alone used to attract recruits.
