Kalen DeBoer looks to take another step forward in his third season as head coach, especially with Crimson Tide supporters desiring a return to winning championships.

He guided the Tide to the Southeastern Conference Championship Game and the College Football Playoff in 2025, but suffered a loss to Georgia and got embarrassed against Indiana at the Rose Bowl in California.
