Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer has come under fire from fans after expressing frustration with star quarterback Jalen Milroe following a disappointing performance against Oklahoma. However, contrary to reports, DeBoer has not benched Milroe for the next game.
Milroe’s underwhelming display against the Sooners, which included three interceptions, sparked concerns about his ability to lead the team. DeBoer’s comments, while not entirely damning, hinted at a sense of disappointment with Milroe’s decision-making.
“I looked in his eyes and think he’s come a long ways all season long, and just the way he wants to go out there and keep leading the team and guys kept fighting for him. That’s just pretty much what I shared with him, just have no regrets. I thought he kept battling,” DeBoer said.
Despite DeBoer’s measured response, fans have taken to social media to express their outrage, with some calling for Milroe’s benching. However, it appears that DeBoer is willing to give his quarterback another chance.
The Crimson Tide’s loss to Oklahoma has significant implications for their playoff hopes. With the defeat, Alabama has been eliminated from contention for the SEC Championship and the College Football Playoffs.
As the team prepares to face Auburn in the Iron Bowl, DeBoer will be looking to Milroe to bounce back from his disappointing performance. Despite the setback, Milroe remains one of the most talented quarterbacks in the country, and DeBoer will be counting on him to lead the team to victory.
In the aftermath of the Oklahoma loss, Milroe acknowledged his shortcomings, stating that the Sooners’ defense was “really good” and that he needed to do a better job of executing the game plan.
As the Crimson Tide looks to close out the season on a high note, fans will be watching closely to see how Milroe responds to the criticism. With DeBoer’s support, Milroe will be looking to prove himself once again as one of the top quarterbacks in the country.
The Iron Bowl matchup against Auburn promises to be an intense and closely contested affair, with both teams looking to end the season on a positive note. As the Crimson Tide prepares to face their arch-rivals, DeBoer will be counting on Milroe to lead the team to victory and restore pride to the Alabama faithful.
In conclusion, while DeBoer’s comments may have sparked concern among fans, it appears that Milroe will remain the starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide. As the team prepares to face Auburn in the Iron Bowl, Milroe will be looking to bounce back from his disappointing performance and lead the team to victory.
It was not Milroe’s poor performance. Texas had a game plan to stop him and it worked. Our OC made no adjustments to help him be successful. It was all on miles of film.
Our DC is terrible. Bring a defensive scheme if you want to call it that does not, has not worked in the SEC. Adjust or find different jobs.
