DeBoer deal almost done at Bama, per ESPN

...BUT - Things at Bama are not always a 'slam dunk'... they had Rich Rod about 99.44/100% ready to go just before they hired Saban - I think RR's wife got cold feet or something...

Seattle to Tuscaloosa

In the bizarro universe.

People in T Town trying to pronounce the spelling of his name would be worth a YouTube channel

You sound hopeful.

...well, somewhat mixed emotions - the UAB/Aubie side of me doesn't like it, as he is a stout coach who will most likely keep Bama rolling well... ...but the Oregon Duck side of me is fine with it...

...Finebaum just said that DeBoer has informed Udub that he is taking the Bama job, and will address the players in that meeting noted at 1:30 PST...

who could have imagined what has happened this week back on Monday. And that Harbaugh hasn't been part of it yet.

As I put in another thread, Alabama had Da Bear, had Da GOAT, and now has DeBoer.

...would seem to be a better fit in Fayetteville with all the SOO-WEE PIGS...

...minimally ironic that Udub doesn't have Wisky on their '24 inaugural B1G Schedule...

From D1.ticker:

Alabama has hired Washington Football HC Kalen DeBoer. The Crimson Tide will pay the Huskies DeBoer’s $12M buyout. USA Today’s Dan Wolken provides more context: “Two things happened in the middle of Washington’s season. 1. They had an AD change. 2. DeBoer hired Jimmy Sexton. Washington tried to get the deal done for many weeks. I think now it’s safe to surmise that Sexton knew what was about to happen.”

Bad week for Washington football, then throw in Carroll in Seattle.
