Legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement from coaching after 2023, which then led to a chain reaction of over 400 coaches switching jobs. The one move that intrigued the most college football fans was Washington coach Kalen DeBoer signing on to replace Saban.

Kalen DeBoer claimed he didn’t know where Alabama football was ranked in the initial College Football Playoff top 25 until informed on the SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday morning. Believe him or not, but UA was sitting at No. 11 when the rankings were revealed Tuesday evening.
