In following Nick Saban, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer is well aware he’s got one of the toughest tasks in all of sports. But the former Washington football coach has a remarkably good handle on all of it. And doesn’t seem to be stressed about it, publicly. He seems to have taken everything in stride.
Recently on The Jim Rome Show, DeBoer knows that Saban is a great resource to lean on if he ever has any questions.
“He’s been amazing. You know, he’s just been so respectful in every way. I’m trying to continue to remind him that I’m great with him being around the program. That these guys are guys that he recruited for the most part here. And for them to see him, it still means a lot to them as well. He’s just been so respectful trying to allow me still make it mine. He’s just down the road and so, and been over there a couple times. Of course, talked to him on the phone as well. And he’s just a great resource. And you know there’s some more questions that I even have before the season kicks off. And some things you’ve gotta be ready for as we go through the year, but he’s just been amazing all those ways,” DeBoer explained.
