Best of the Bus: Kalen DeBoer On Taking Over From Nick Saban + Implementing His Own Culture

On this episode of Best of the Bus, the boys sit down with new Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer following his hire after Nick Saban’s retirement. Taking over for arguably the greatest coach of all time comes with massive expectations, and DeBoer opens up about what the hiring process was really like — including having just 24 hours to make the decision, fresh off a national championship loss. Will and Taylor dive into what fans can expect from Alabama this season as DeBoer begins building his own culture while respecting the traditions that have defined the program. He breaks down the first message he delivered to the team, how he met individually with team leaders, and what he wants the identity of this next era of Alabama football to look like. After this conversation, it’s clear the standard in Tuscaloosa isn’t changing anytime soon. Enjoy, fellas. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
