JUST IN: Alabama football Coach, DeBoer’s First Season Ends with Mixed Results… Read more…

Tuscaloosa, AL – The 2025 college football season has come to a close, and Alabama’s first-year head coach, Kalen DeBoer, has received a grade of ‘C’ from fans and analysts alike. The mediocre assessment is a direct result of the Crimson Tide’s inconsistent performance throughout the season.
DeBoer, who took over the reins of the Alabama program in 2025, was tasked with maintaining the team’s national championship aspirations. While the Crimson Tide showed flashes of brilliance, they struggled to maintain momentum and were ultimately unable to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff.
The ‘C’ grade is a reflection of DeBoer’s mixed bag of results. On the one hand, the Crimson Tide secured several impressive victories, including a thrilling win over arch-rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl. However, these highs were tempered by disappointing losses to unranked opponents, which exposed weaknesses in the team’s defense and special teams units.
Despite the inconsistent results, DeBoer remains optimistic about the future of the Alabama program. “I’m proud of the way our team fought all season,” DeBoer said in a statement. “We faced some tough challenges, but we never gave up. We’ll use this season as a learning experience and come back stronger in 2026.”
Alabama fans, while disappointed by the team’s failure to secure a national championship, remain hopeful that DeBoer will use this first season as a building block for future success. With a talented recruiting class on the horizon and a renewed focus on consistency, the Crimson Tide are poised to make a strong run in 2026.
As DeBoer and his staff begin to prepare for the upcoming season, one thing is clear: the Alabama football program remains committed to excellence, and DeBoer is the right man to lead the charge.
