"The market in Alabama is crazy because his house, like, way bigger than mine and it costs less than mine. I'm like, dang, that's crazy ... Yeah, he got a good gig over there. Yeah, it was great to be able to be with those guys; obviously those guys played a big role in helping me get to this position and all my success in my football career."Kalen DeBoer spent two seasons as the head coach of the Washington Huskies from 2022 to 2023.

On Monday, CFB insider Greg McElroy came forward to share his thoughts about the Crimson Tide ahead of the 2025 season.During an appearance on "Always College Football," he predicted the Crimson Tide's campaign would be better because of the changes and improvements they made in the offseason."You look back at his (Kalen DeBoer) tenure at Washington, the team makes a pretty significant jump from year number one to year number two," McElroy said. "Now, last year, people will point to the shortcomings and the inconsistencies. I don't anticipate that level of inconsistency this year. I think last year, the highs were really high. I think back to the first half against Georgia, the whole game against LSU."But you also remember back to some of the lows ... So you kind of look over the course of all last year, and there were moments where you just didn't get constant output from both sides of the ball."DeBoer's second year begins with a season opener against Florida State. It will be played on Aug. 30 at the Doak Campbell Stadium and kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
