Full transcript and press conference video from the Alabama head coach's Sunday night press conference.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Kalen DeBoer's first regular season as Alabama head coach comes to a close with a 9-3 record, which kept the Crimson Tide one spot short of the College Football Playoff.
“A few, yeah. There’s been a few. It’s been a busy day. We went from first kind of understanding what the situation was going to be as far as not getting in, to talking to a few of the guys still not even knowing what our bowl game was. Then the bowl game announcement. And then right into our banquet, and just finished that up here about 45 minutes or so ago. Again, I think just around our program, I feel like the culture’s in a good place.
“But I think having an offseason where there’s some consistency and a longer period of time to just be able to do what I’d normally do in a offseason. Whether it’s the details that you’d be starting in the middle of January or end of January where we pretty much hired our whole staff in the middle of February, and just trying to get them to learn the offense, learn the defensive scheme.
Is there a thought to encourage guys with first round grades to opt out in order to play younger players? "We want to play competitive games, we want to play the best games and I understand how it didn't feel like that. It definitely wasn't rewarded," DeBoer said. "It felt like with our schedule and the wins that we had against teams that were ranked––now or even at the time––LSU was at the time, but not anymore. I'll let Greg administratively lead the charge and understand what needs to be done in the future, if anything at all.
