JUST IN: Alabama Makes Shocking Coaching Changes Amid Team Struggles Following Fans Advocacy…
Alabama Crimson Tide fans are facing more than just a loss to Tennessee; the program itself might be in trouble. A growing number of fans have begun criticizing new head coach Kalen DeBoer and his staff, just a short time into his tenure.
Expectations were high for DeBoer, who led Washington to a national championship appearance before joining Alabama in 2024. The season started strong with a thrilling win against Georgia in Tuscaloosa, but things have since gone downhill.
After a road loss to Vanderbilt and a narrow home victory over South Carolina, Alabama was defeated 24-17 by Tennessee this past weekend.
With two losses before November and tough games against Missouri and LSU looming, fans are starting to worry. The unease grew on Monday when offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan addressed the media.
One controversial moment from the Tennessee game—a bizarre play on 4th-and-1 where two Alabama receivers pretended to take jump shots—was a hot topic. Sheridan’s response, “There’s nothing on the field that we’re not coaching,” only fueled the fans’ frustrations.
Many fans took to social media to express their concerns. One fan said the situation is “worse than they thought,” while others criticized the coaching staff’s decisions, with one calling Sheridan “the worst offensive coordinator in 20 years.”
DeBoer might face some tough choices, but it’s unlikely any major changes will happen before the season ends. Alabama’s regular season concludes with games against Missouri, LSU, Mercer, Oklahoma, and the Iron Bowl clash with Auburn.
