Although DeBoer’s season wasn’t the worst first year for a Crimson Tide coach, it snapped a streak of 10-win seasons. Alabama had won at least 10 games for 16 straight seasons. The last time the Crimson Tide didn’t win 10 games was in 2007, Saban’s first year.

Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer was burned by Ryan Grubb before, but is it time to make amends and hand him the keys to the Crimson Tide offense?

Grubb was briefly Alabama's offensive coordinator before taking the same job with the Seattle Seahawks, but he was fired after just one year.
