Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer isn't on the "hot seat" entering the 2025 college football season, though that could quickly change if things trend south in Tuscaloosa next fall. DeBoer had a fairly decent debut season at Alabama by most standards.

Alabama football season is in the books with four losses, and Crimson Tide fans brought plenty of opinions to the season-ending mailbag.

When the close struck 0:00 at Raymond James Stadium on New Year's Eve, not only did it mark the end of the ReliaQuest Bowl

Calling for DeBoer to get fired after a 9-4 season in year one is simply irrational. Even for a fan base that’s used to being in the College Football Playoff like Alabama. Winning is hard and the way college football is now only makes it harder.

Although DeBoer’s season wasn’t the worst first year for a Crimson Tide coach, it snapped a streak of 10-win seasons. Alabama had won at least 10 games for 16 straight seasons. The last time the Crimson Tide didn’t win 10 games was in 2007, Saban’s first year.

Jalen Milroe and Tyler Booker are confident in the direction the program is heading under the leadership of DeBoer.

DeBoer left Raymond James Stadium tied for the most wins as a first-year Alabama football coach in school history, tying Frank Thomas' nine wins in 1931.

Alabama football ends its season for the second consecutive year with a loss to Michigan. The Wolverines turned Alabama’s disaster-filled first quarter into a 19-13 victory over the Crimson Tide on Tuesday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer stands to lose a lot if the Crimson Tide were to miss the College Football Playoff again in 2025.
