The Crimson Tide came within 4:41 of playing for a CFP National Championship. Alabama fell short, but the offseason transition has it hungry for more next fall. It has to contend for a national title without Nick Saban as head coach, but he will remain a fixture of the program. Kalen DeBoer, 49, takes over as the new man from Washington, and he has players committed to his philosophy. Those on the outside have the Tide written off again in 2024 with the new 12-team playoff coming into form.
