Despite the historical significance of his first game as the Alabama head coach, Kalen DeBoer kept a steady demeanor throughout the blowout win.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Gone are the days of tucked in polos with khakis and sideline butt-chewings of defensive backs. Alabama football has a new head coach with new habits and traditions, but on Saturday night inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, the results looked the same.
Throughout his first eight months in Tuscaloosa, there's one word that constantly comes up when describing DeBoer: steady. He never gets too high or too low. His demeanor stays the same. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack called it DeBoer's "superpower." His steadiness was needed with the highs and lows of the Crimson Tide's season opening 63-0 win. With a final score like that, there was more good than bad in the win, but DeBoer experienced some early setbacks before things even got going., DeBoer's biggest offseason portal win and the presumed starter at left tackle, was injured in pregame warmups and didn't get to play a single snap.
Whether it was his calm reaction to Alabama's first touchdown, his sideline attire of a hoodie and ball cap or no-frills stroll out of the tunnel during pregame warmups, DeBoer displays an unruffled demeanor. Don't mistake being unbothered for being uncaring. "He got us hype," Lawson said. "He talked about executing. Just doing your job and playing for the guys in the locker room. We were already ready at that point. He just added to the fire”
