Alabama Crimson Tide entered a new era of football under Kalen DeBoer this season. However, there were many doubts about his capabilities to fill in former head coach Nick Saban’s footsteps. However, the Crimson Tide’s recent win of 41-34 against the Georgia Bulldogs cleared everyone’s concern regarding Kalen DeBoer’s coaching style, including Paul Finebaum. Shocking, right? Wait until you hear what he said about DeBoer.

Today, @espnradio and @finebaumshow posted a carousel post of Paul Finebaum appreciating Kalen DeBoer’s game tactics and saying he could be one of the best hires we have ever seen. ” “As a tactician, he may be the best coach in the country; I don’t know. I am still not well willing to make him the best coach overall. I think Kirby Smart still has that crown, but he is a serious competitor right now and also makes it look like here at six weeks into the best hires we have ever seen.”

However, Paul also mentioned that he was still not ready to give up Kirby Smart for DeBoer, saying, “He proved a lot Saturday. Now he was one play away from being the goat of the country, but that’s not it, and that’s not the greatest of all time either. The point being that was the cheery on top of the cake that he has been baking since he got there in January.” But then Kalen DeBoer is getting the appreciation he deserves after being constantly trolled by Bama fans before entering the season.

Well, if you think that’s the only thing ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum said about Kalen DeBoer and his team, then you are wrong. After the game, while talking about national championship contenders, Paul made a strong claim, saying, “Alabama is, for the first time in my mind, this season a legitimate National Championship contender, and more than a contender, they look like two or three teams to be.” Hold your horses, as Finebaum is really not letting Alabama’s remarkable gameplay remain unnoticed. Talking about their showdown with the Bulldogs, Paul said, “I have covered SEC for more than 40 years. And I believe that’s the best college football game in the SEC I have seen during all those years.” Impressing Paul Finebaum and getting such remarks from him is beyond anyone’s imagination. Let’s see how Alabama performed against Georgia, which made him this satisfied.
