Since Nick Saban’s retirement, the Alabama Crimson Tide have seen significant upheaval. Kalen DeBoer will introduce the new Crimson Day in the A-Day game on April 13, which is almost precisely ninety days after he was hired.
What will be seen will interest Alabama supporters, regardless of how little A-Day discloses about DeBoer’s system and the Tide’s new ‘Swarm’ defense. The Alabama teams in the spring did not exhibit much under Nick Saban.
How reluctant Kalen DeBoer will be to give future opponents away is unknown. Many of those components cannot be kept a secret until springtime, as future Crimson Tide opponents are already aware of DeBoer’s offensive strategies from his time at Fresno State and Washington.
Most Alabama supporters are eager to witness DeBoer’s offensive concepts in action because they have already been won over. With Kadyn Proctor’s announcement of his return to Alabama football, the offense doesn’t have any significant gaps to cover. Proctor won’t be able to transfer in time to play spring football, but several Tide tackles will get an opportunity to play as a first-unit member on the A-Day Game.
Fans’ excitement is growing to the point where initial worries about the offensive line and wide receiver deficiencies can be ignored. Should it turn out to be true, Alabama’s offensive in 2024 ought to be superior than its 2023 iteration.
