Alabama football is undergoing a major change. After years of Nick Saban’s strict, championship-winning style, the team is now led by Kalen DeBoer. And people are now noticing a big difference in the vibe.
ESPN’s Marty Smith talked to some folks who worked for both coaches and said, “The energy walking in the door every day could not possibly be more different.” It sounds like DeBoer is bringing a more relaxed atmosphere to the team. Now, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about this change. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe recently said he’s allowed to celebrate good plays now. He said, “This is different. That just changed my perspective, man.” Looks like the players are feeling the difference too.
