Breaking News:Kalen DeBoer, Alabama Will Reach 10 Wins

Alabama’s 2024 season? It was somewhat shaky.

With that, bettors might be wondering if they should roll with the Tide to go Over 9.5 wins in 2025 or if they should back the Under.

Let’s break it down.

Last year was head coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season at Alabama, and he produced a 9-3 record. All three losses were in conference and on the road.

The Tide were able to beat Georgia by seven and got two blowout wins against LSU and Missouri. Overall, it was a respectable first season for the new head coach, but it was a year full of uneven play, mental mistakes and sloppiness that we hadn’t seen at Alabama under Nick Saban.

Still, there’s no cause for concern for me heading into 2025 because of DeBoer’s track record.

DeBoer spent nine years as a head coach between NAIA Sioux Falls, Fresno State and Washington before being hired as Alabama’s head coach in January 2024. He succeeded the legendary Saban after he retired.

At Sioux Falls, DeBoer went 11-2 in his first season before going 56-1 in the next four seasons with three national championships.

He then took over Fresno State during the 2020 COVID-19 year and went 3-3. Throw that year away. He went 9-3 the following season before being hired by Washington. DeBoer went 25-3 in his two seasons at UW, losing in the national title game to Michigan to end the 2023 season.

That’s 104-12 as a head coach before heading to Alabama. He can coach and I expect a better product from the Tide this season.
