Kalen DeBoer revealed the message Nick Saban had him pass on to the Crimson Tide before it beat Western Kentucky.
Ahead of the matchup, DeBoer and company heard from his predecessor, Nick Saban, who retired in January. Speaking to reporters Monday, DeBoer revealed what Saban told him and the team.
Saban was in attendance for the season-opener, sitting in a luxury box at Bryant-Denny Stadium with his family. He flew into Tuscaloosa on Saturday after beginning the day appearing on ESPN’s College Gameday show, located at Texas A&M for the Aggies’ matchup with Notre Dame. “It’s gonna be an awesome night,” DeBoer said of the upcoming dedication. “Having the field named in honor of coach, that’s really, really something special. It’s one of those things where you’re gonna play in it, you know what’s happening, but being a part of the ceremly is something the team really can’t do.
