“Breaking News: Unveiling the Moment Alabama Football Fans Have Been Waiting For – The Grand Entrance of Kalen DeBoer as Head Coach Revealed!”
Kalen DeBoer’s hire as Alabama’s head coach is official. Now, Nick Saban’s successor’s introduction to Tuscaloosa is scheduled.
DeBoer will speak with media at 1 p.m. Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The press conference comes after the coach’s scheduled arrival in Tuscaloosa Friday evening.
ESPN reported that after DeBoer lands, the Crimson Tide is scheduled for a team meeting at its facility. Players are currently allowed to enter the transfer portal, having received a 30-day extra window for undergraduate entry when Saban retired.
The man who won six national titles with the Crimson Tide, plus another at LSU, announced his retirement on Wednesday. After a search, Greg Byrne landed on Washington head coach DeBoer as his replacement.
The first game of the DeBoer era at Alabama is scheduled for Aug. 31 at Bryant-Denny Stadium against Western Kentucky.
