“We’ve been through this before and we got it done,” he added. “I told the guys, this is a team that can do it.”

While DeBoer was promising to crack down on his players, former Alabama star Kareem Jackson had some apparent criticism of the Crimson Tide coach. He took to social media to express his disdain with the direction of the program.

While Jackson did not call out DeBoer by name, he made it clear that the program was losing its way.

“I don’t know who or what needs to change but that wasn’t the brand of ball that we’ve all grown accustomed to seeing coming out of Tuscaloosa,” Jackson wrote in a post on X. “I can take losing to UGA in a hard fought game. But this today wasn’t Alabama football. And I know week to week it’s hard but we still gotta give ourselves a chance to be successful. We did not by no means today.”

The former first-round pick had a stellar three-year career under former coach Nick Saban, winning a national title in 2009, the product of an undefeated season.
