Is Kalen DeBoer the Right Hire on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's start discussing the Crimson Tide's new football coach on The Joe Gaither Show | Episode 153: Jan. 12, 2024.

It's been a wild 48 hours in Tuscaloosa as Nick Saban announced his retirement on Wednesday. "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" spends the Friday episode breaking down Greg Byrne's pick to lead the Crimson Tide program in the future. 

We're joined by Chris Walsh, Will Miller and Tom Brew to discuss Kalen DeBoer and his new position as the Alabama head football coach.

We open the program by comparing DeBoer to a previous Crimson Tide coach who coached in Washington state but was a disaster in Tuscaloosa. Are there any similarities between Mike Price and DeBoer?

Walsh walks the audience through the process of how a coach is hired as there were numerous coaches names bandied about during the search. Ironically, almost every candidate is represented by Jimmy Sexton. Were all the candidates options for Byrne or was Sexton weaving a web of lies to see his clients earn significant raises?

Miller outlines DeBoer's winning ways and his ability to do less with more as he dispels concern that he's not experienced enough to lead the Crimson Tide program forward.

We're then joined by Brew of Hoosiersnow.com who covered DeBoer when he was the offensive coordinator for Indiana in 2019. Brew enlightens our audience in the way that DeBoer operates and gives us insight to his path from NAIA to the Crimson Tide.
