Kalen DeBoer said the conversations this week would be uncomfortable. Those need to start with Ryan Grubb and Kane Wommack. If he wants to win big at Alabama, he might have to make a difficult choice with both after the season.

I've said for a long time that he couldn't script his way out of a paper bag.

The tough thing for Bama fans to adjust to with KDB is the propensity to completely lay an egg on a fairly regular basis. We're not used to this level of inconsistency. Also: zero offensive identity. Who are we? No one seems to know.

If Grubb doesn't go at the end of this season, he probably will be helping Kalen pack at the end of the following year.

That uncomfortable convo needs to start with you and your OC, coach.

Every time there’s optimism about Kalen DeBoer as the Alabama head coach, we seem to get a performance like that where the team looks totally unprepared to play. It’s a disappointing, yet unsurprising reality: bamahammer.com/kalen-deboer-…

Hey Greg... Don't you blame the young offense. Blame the highly paid OC who didn't game plan around his center and best receiver being out and having a young QB on the road in a tough environment. That's not on the players. One team coached to their situation on offense and played complimentary football and one team had an OC with his head up his ass. – at Indian Springs Village, AL

I’ve got no faith in DeBoer now. I’ve been burned three years in a row. He doesn’t have what it takes to play championship level football in the SEC. No way we win out. Another 3 loss regular season.

Alabama is just a 3 or 4 loss team. Just going to have to come to grips with it.

Gee, where have we seen a Bama performance like this before? Oh yeah, there's been at least one a year DeBoer has been the coach.

Life is like a DeBoer Bama team on the road in the SEC; you never know what you're gonna get.

Yeah, Bama is losing this game.

DeSean Bishop picks up 20 yards up the gut of the Alabama defense. Vols are at the Tide's 5-yard line.
