The Alabama Crimson Tide will have head coach Kalen DeBoer and a few players represent the program at this year’s SEC Media Days. With Nick Saban retiring after the 2023 season, DeBoer left his position at the helm of the Washington Huskies program and moved down to Tuscaloosa for his first job in the SEC.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe, offensive lineman Tyler Booker and defensive back Malachi Moore will be meeting with media members to discuss the upcoming season. Most of the attention regarding the Crimson Tide will be on DeBoer.
He’s no stranger to holding press conferences, as he’s been a head coach and a coordinator for some time, but this will be his introduction to the SEC and he will be directly compared to his predecessor, who had an interesting reputation while speaking with the media.
David Cobb of CBS Sports recently outlined the biggest storylines from SEC Media Days. One of them is seeing how DeBoer will do in the new setting.
“DeBoer has never worked in the SEC in any capacity, and following Saban places him under a level of scrutiny unlike anything he’s experienced. His first SEC Media Days appearance is a meaningful milestone that offers DeBoer a chance to steer the national conversation around his tenure and Alabama’s 2024 team.”
