What coaches with Big Ten connections (cough, Kalen DeBoer) could be the next Alabama football head coach?

A look at some names that Alabama football might be looking at for their next head coach.

Nick Saban stepped down as the head coach of Alabama football on Wednesday, drawing an end to an era of incredible success. Yes, Kalen DeBoer, despite the flimsy Big Ten connection, is on the list.

There is likely never going to be another Saban, who might just be the best head coach in college football history. His success with Alabama is staggering.

He was 206-29 with a 16-7 record in bowl games. He won six national championships with Alabama (and one with LSU).

Now, Alabama will have to replace a head coach who might well be the best of all time. It won’t be easy.

And while Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer is the favorite to end up with Alabama, nothing is set in stone.

 

Alabama is a pressure cooker job, one where a winning record and a New Year’s Six bowl appearance simply isn’t enough. Alabama will have to hire young, hungry and aggressive.
