More than their aspirations of winning a national championship were dashed by Alabama’s humiliating 19–13 loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
With four losses, it turned head football coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season in Tuscaloosa into a complete bust. However, DeBoer isn’t whining. Not at all.
The head coach of the Crimson Tide is ignoring the criticism and focusing on developing his “attack” plan for the 2025 offseason.
He did so because of the mood in the locker room the morning after the ReliaQuest Bowl defeat.
SANTOS 1 X 2 PALMEIRAS | MELHORES MOMENTOS – PAULISTÃO 2025, 3ª RODADA | Upcoming The head coach of the Crimson Tide is ignoring the criticism and focusing on developing his “attack” plan for the 2025 offseason.
He did so because of the mood in the locker room the morning after the ReliaQuest Bowl defeat. DeBoer stated, “I think attack is the right word for it,” according to WSFA12.
“I can’t say for every guy on the team but you know most of them woke up the next morning wanting to make the next season something completely different.”
DeBoer highlighted how they immediately set up the proper mindset to tackle the upcoming season rather than having a somber pity party. “We have control over the effort, but not over the outcome.”
Here’s where DeBoer sets his Alabama culture apart from Nick Saban’s. Accountability was always important to Saban, both after a defeat and in the long run. “I believe that many men are prepared to put in the effort, lead by example, and genuinely be someone that [others] aspire to be like.
“But it’s a big step for a lot of guys to take when you try to help someone for their benefit by making them accountable — teammate to teammate,” Saban stated in a 2022 podcast.
DeBoer is more concerned with ensuring that their next move is more aggressive than their last. He is preparing people to join the battle with vigor.
