While at the Regions Traditions Pro-Am in Birmingham this Wednesday morning, legendary coach Nick Saban was asked about Kalen DeBoer’s $87.5 million contract...
quote:

“Look, I think coaching is a competitive field, just like playing is a competitive field, and I think Kalen’s had a lot of opportunities (elsewhere) and if Alabama wanted to keep him, they needed to do what they needed to do to keep him,” Saban said, via On3. “I’m happy that he’s the coach. And I think when coaches change (schools) now, how much does your roster change? When I retired (in 2024), 26 players (transferred), which was hard for the next coach, whoever it was, to overcome. And I think they’ve done a pretty good job with that transition.”

Les did a pretty good job with the roster left when the previous coach left. Took the team to the SEC championsip game after getting no bye weeks due to Katrina re-scheduling.

The current transfer climate is not even close to comparable.

Les did a fabulous job in 2005 although he didn’t have to deal with the portal

Les did not get what he should have done because he was stubborn. Glad he got 2007. What happed with that 2011 team again?
