Crimson Tide coach appeared at SEC Media Days on Wednesday
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer made his first appearance at SEC Media Days on Wednesday, and aside from addressing the big-picture topics of his first few months on the job, he also discussed the kind of roster minutiae hardcore fans thrive on.
“I think it’s pretty clear that there was probably more experience that left our roster in the defensive backfield,” DeBoer said. “Now again, thanks to , there’s a lot of great youth that I think it can be developed and get on the football field, gonna have to get on the football field sooner than later.
As Harper — a Pro Bowl safety in the NFL — noted, the new scheme leads to more opportunities for takeaways, but also puts a premium on tackling in space. DeBoer said his team is handling the transition well. DeBoer said he is excited about the Crimson Tide’s potential on offense, not only with quarterback Jalen Milroe and several quality offensive linemen returning, but also at the skill positions. He noted that several young offensive players had fine springs.
