Alabama may have a new coach, but the expectation hasn't changed much.
There may be a first-year coach in Tuscaloosa, but that doesn’t mean the expectation has dramatically changed, Paul Finebaum says., made it clear that if Alabama doesn’t make the new expanded 12-team College Football Playoff, there’s no way to label Kalen DeBoer’s first year a success.
“I think Alabama will always be strong,” he said on the podcast. “Would this season be a bust if Alabama doesn’t make the playoff? The answer is emphatically yes. I don’t think there is any way you can look at it differently. Unlike previous years, Alabama is not expected to win a national championship.
“This year, I think Alabama fans expect them to make the playoffs. I don’t think Kalen DeBoer has to win, but he fails to make the playoffs, I think his tenure is going to start on a rocky note.”. He can be heard on “The Opening Kickoff” on WNSP-FM 105.5 FM in Mobile or on the free Sound of Mobile App from 6 to 9 a.m. daily.
