Kirby Smart had a better team loaded with his players, his scheme, and he owns the locker room too. DeBoer beat him. Except for an 8 OT victory against the Vandy of Atlanta (GA Tech), they'd have the same record with Alabama holding the head to head.

Saban had to clean out the locker room to get rid of the DJ Hall followers so it could be Saban's way. DeBoer will have to do the same thing.

Also, the OC is a 3rd choice at best. Something Saban struggled with also. He has to get that fixed and get the locker room filled with his guys.

DeBoer has not been great as an in game coach. I believe he relies too heavily on the OC who has been outmatched in a few games this year. The DC has done a faster job of righting the ship and DeBoer has been hands off there also.

This year is not the measure of DeBoer. Next year and the years that follow will be the tale of the tape on DeBoer. I'm pulling for him.
