After a thorough search, Alabama football has hired Kalen DeBoer, the coach of Washington, to succeed Nick Saban.
In just his second season in Seattle, 49-year-old DeBoer guided the Huskies to the 2024 College Football Playoff national championship game. He also served as an advisor to Michael Penix Jr., the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, who threw for 430 yards and two touchdowns in the CFP semifinal victory over Texas, which defeated Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide in Week 2.
