00:00We mentioned pressure.
00:01I mean, is it fair to have pressure on Caelan DeBoer here?
00:04I mean, I guess there's going to be that on every team in the SEC.
00:07But my gosh, I mean, year one, can we give the guy a break?
00:10I know that they lost the bowl game.
00:11They didn't look great in that.
00:13Nine wins on the season.
00:15He can't be a two and done, can he?
00:19I don't think so, but he just got a crash course
00:22in just how much pressure there is when you coach at Alabama.
00:24It is very much like Ohio State.
00:27They anticipate and expect to win every game.
00:31And here he is in year one.
00:32They had ups and downs.
00:33They beat Georgia.
00:35That was a nice win.
00:36They win the Iron Bowl.
00:37They beat LSU, but you lose to Vandy.
00:40And then you have the dud at Oklahoma.
00:42And you lose to Tennessee, which they've lost two out
00:46of the last three to Tennessee.
00:47Alabama fans don't like that.
00:49Compound it with a terrible performance in the bowl game
00:51against Michigan.
00:52So I do think there's going to be some level of pressure
00:55on Kellen DeBoer in year two.
00:57September's not easy.
00:59Again, Florida State will be better.
01:01They play Florida State in the opener.
01:02Some people are coining that the anxiety bowl.
01:05I've seen Ralph Russo refer to that as the athletic writer.
01:09They play Wisconsin again.
01:10And then they play Georgia at the end of September.
01:12So it is a high pressure first month for Alabama,
01:16who I would deem another kind of boomer bus team.
01:19Alabama and LSU in all these way too early preseason top 25s,
01:23they're both in the top 10.
01:25So we're going to see if they can live up to those
01:27expectations next season.
