Kalen DeBoer and Alabama's coordinators like the early response they've seen from the team since the disappointing loss at Vanderbilt.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Kalen DeBoer has often been lauded by his staff and players for his even-keeled demeanor, describing him as someone who doesn't get too high or too low. But after then No. 1 Alabama suffered a stunning loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday, some wanted to see more fiery emotions out of the head coach."Oh, I’m extremely frustrated," DeBoer said during Monday's press conference. "We all are. But we’re not gonna lose our cool over that.
"We left ourselves a little less wiggle room to achieve some of the goals we have, but those goals are still out there," DeBoer said. "And we need to just focus on what our whole mindset is, is to always improve every single day. And that’s never gonna change. And to improve, I think you’ve gotta have things in perspective and focus on the right areas, and our whole team is doing that.
Starting with the trip back to Tuscaloosa from Nashville to Sunday at the facility, the coaches like the early response they've seen from the team. Offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan said his impression of the team on Sunday was outstanding. DeBoer and defensive coordinator Kane Wommack said the staff had productive conversations with the leadership council of players. While it wasn't as bad of loss rankings or perception-wise, the leaders and veterans on Alabama's team experienced last season's early loss to Texas followed up by a bad performance at USF. They also experienced the response where the Crimson Tide reeled off eight straight SEC wins, an SEC title and a trip to the College Football Playoff.
