Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer will make his very first appearance with the Crimson Tide on Saturday as the team opens its season against Western Kentucky at home.

Coming over from a two-year stint at Washington where he took that team to a national championship this past winter, it’s worth looking at DeBoer’s journey to one of the biggest coaching jobs in college football at Alabama

Before coaching Washington, DeBoer worked as the head coach at Fresno State from 2020-21 after working at the school as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2017-18.

He spent a season at Indiana as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2019 before returning to Fresno State to take over the program.

He played college football at Sioux Falls as a wide receiver and coached that position group for the school in 1997. After a couple of years in high school football in South Dakota, he returned to Sioux Falls as its offensive coordinator from 2000-04 before becoming its head coach from 2005-09.

He spent 2010-13 as Southern Illinois’ offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach then coached at Eastern Michigan as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2014-16.

After taking over at Washington as its head coach in 2022, he had the Huskies ready to compete for a national title game last season. He is 104-11 as a head coach.

Now, he’ll replace Nick Saban and try to bring another title to Alabama’s hallowed hall of accomplishments.
