From his wiki, I don’t see how that’s a good hire.

Not exactly the best resume I’ve seen.

His D coordinator resume is nothing great. His team had a good year last year, but I don't really get this hire for Bama. I don't think it keeps their defensive guys from bailing.

Bama fans going to say it is a "slam dunk" regardless.

Interesting. Why's he punting his head coaching career?

He’s only 36 and if he has success at Alabama better jobs will come calling.

Exactly the opposite. He’s banking on Alabama being the Alabama of the past i.e. he gets an easy promotion to a P5 gig.

Only issue is whether he can coach well enough & recruit well enough to catch steam. Prediction: if hired his trajectory won’t be what he thinks it would be

Neither is Baker’s. Lot of G5 schools on there.

Good hire. South Alabama has been salty plus he was DC at Indiana for 3 years

What exactly makes this a good hire? I don't see it.

Think this is a good thing for us. They urgently need a DC to help prevent a mass exodus of players on defense. They interviewed T Rob who said no and they quickly pivot to this guy because DeBoer has a connection to him from Indiana. The resume isn’t that great, only been a DC for 3 years at Indiana with very little impressive on his resume (he’s pretty young). Betting on his potential I guess.

He was a Broyles Award finalist at Indiana before getting the South Alabama HC job, so there's that. He's also well liked in the south Alabama and Gulf Coast high schools. It's not a homerun hire, but its a good hire with the potential to be really good.

Easy for non Alabama fans to shite on this hire.

The reality is this is a tremendous hire. He was incredible as the DC for Indiana and has had South Alabama playing great. Especially defensively.
