A historic blowout nearly turned into a historic collapse for Alabama. No matter how the win happened, we learned a lot about DeBoer.

There is no world in which finding a replacement for Nick Saban at Alabama was going to be an easy job — or one that many would jump at. Not that the Alabama job isn’t desirable, but following someone like Saban is an impossible ask. Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer jumped at the chance, anyways, with the support of Saban.

Nick Saban was accused by multiple accounts, including the official SportsCenter Twitter account and Barstool Sports’s Unnecessary Roughness, of appearing unhappy with Alabama’s dominance against Georgia in the first half.
