Kalen DeBoer started his era of Crimson Tide action with a 63-0 victory inside Bryant-Denny Stadium over Western Kentucky in front of a sellout crowd. Alabama nation came out in huge support, and a lot of former players liked what they saw.
Marquis Maze, a former Tide wide receiver, gave high remarks to DeBoer on social media. The two-time BCS National Champion in the Saban era (2009, 2011) believes DeBoer is on his way to joining Saban and Bryant as a “G.O.A.T.”
I would like to say Coach Saban definitely left this program in a better place than he found it, Coach DeBoer I feel is gonna keep this thing rolling and become the baby baby goat 😂 after The Bear & Nicky Lou 😂
