The Alabama Crimson Tide’s 2024 season was a disappointment, with three losses and a fanbase frustrated by the team’s offensive struggles. Head coach Kalen DeBoer is entering a crucial year, and the pressure is on to find a quarterback who can lead the team back to championship contention.
The quarterback competition is likely between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack. Russell is a highly touted freshman, while Mack has experience in DeBoer’s system from their time together at Washington. The decision of who to start will be a major factor in the Crimson Tide’s success this season.
DeBoer’s future in Tuscaloosa could depend on how quickly he can turn things around. The Alabama fanbase is notoriously demanding, and another disappointing season could lead to his ouster. The pressure is on DeBoer to find the right quarterback and get the offense back on track.
