How bad do y'all think DeBoer can be at Alabama and keep his job?
The playoff is expanding to 12 teams. I think they'd view missing the playoff once, unless it comes on the heels of winning a national title in the year or two prior, might be viewed as a fireable offense. Or making the playoff but not winning any games a couple of times. If he doesn't make a playoff run in his first or second year, there will absolutely be serious calls to fire him.
I don't think there's ever been a fanbase with such a warped sense of what is realistically possible as Alabama. If you disregard Year 1, Saban never finished outside the top 10. Remember how good 2022 felt for us? That was a good, but somewhat underwhelming season for Alabama fans the last 15 years. It's completely absurd.
