Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Who is Kalen DeBoer?

Is he from Canada? No one in Alabama has ever heard of this guy and he cried at his introductory press conference. He talks funny with no accent or style and seems like he would be a PC type, just from the vibe he gives out.

Are Washington fans glad to be rid of him? I feel like this hire may have been a big mistake for Alabama and was rushed for some reason. All we really know about him, what our sites are saying, is that he has no idea how to develop a defense, can't recruit worth a shit, and he cries at the drop of a hat.

Any additional information that could be provided would be great.

    He’s not gay but he built his whole brand around loyalty and culture building and ‘his people’ just to spit on all of it the second he got the chance.

    I don’t hate the guy like a lot of people do; he gave us a legendary season and new favorite Husky in Penix. I bought what he was selling, heard rumors for a few weeks before the natty about Michigan and dismissed them because it seemed to go against everything he preaches. That’s on me.

    One question I had was how he’d do when he had to replace the staff he’d coached with forever but I didn’t think it’d be because he stabbed them in the back. He made it a point to mention Morrell had been a part of every win he had as HC just to bounce without telling him.

    I get that it’s the reality of the sport but he painted himself in a corner with that being his persona and now it’s a tough look. Dude can coach and if he keeps winning nobody will give a shit. I’m not sure he realizes what he signed himself up for down Bama way.

    I don't think we really have any idea either

    I don't follow recruiting at all but it seems he put the bare minimum effort in there. Maybe that's just the nature of the game now?

    He seems to be a great X's & O's coach

    That's all i got

    He's Dutch.

    Never trust the Dutch.

    Don't believe it, it's bullshit.

    Alabama has never had a gay coach; I'm not sure this will work out with our culture.

    Great 2nd post. Now DIAFF and then leave.

    When Kirby Smart pushes your shit in this Fall, this thread will make a lot more sense.

    He"ll be gone in 3 years, tops. Fired, or he succeeds and goes to the NFL. I could see the latter happening after 1 season. He's a fish out of water in Alabama.

    His claim to fame will be in his becoming a Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit answer as the first of a long list coaches during Alabama’s longest championship drought.

    Deboer’s a ladder climbing piece of shit. I’m going to take a long walk to Hiram’s lock and check out the fish ladder for some perspective.

    Saban coached you guys for almost 20 years and you never figured it out huh? Repressed anger, emotional outbursts, ridiculous attention to detail (one might even say anal), spent the entire time talking to teenage boys begging them to come visit for a weekend… The guy is gayer than Elton John

    Not sure who you are, and why no welcome was given, by Derek but LEAVE, and stay.

    Seems you have this place already figured out by dropping this comment.

    And DeBoer is pronounced De-Bag

    I was calling him the Dutchman but it’s too many letters I now refer to our former coach as Fats.
    Easier for you to remember, too.
