Things are going to look very different in Tuscaloosa this upcoming season.

Now, Kalen DeBoer will take over for the Tide.
Coach DeBoer had tremendous success in his two seasons with the Washington Huskies.
He inherited a Washington team that in 2021 finished 4-8. He then led the Huskies to 11-2 and 14–1 records in 2022 and 2023, respectively, including a College Football Playoff win over Texas last season.
Despite DeBoer’s previous success, filling Saban’s shoes figures to be a tall task, and sportsbooks are not as bullish as in years past about the Crimson Tide’s chances of winning a title.
Bama is currently 14-1 to win the Natty, which is its worst preseason National Championship odds since 2008, Saban’s second season (60-1).

Milroe is currently +1400 to win the Heisman, trailing only Carson Beck (+800), Quinn Ewers (+900) and Dillon Gabriel (+1000).
Alabama will have a challenging schedule next season, with road games against Wisconsin, Tennesse, LSU and Oklahoma, and a home contest against Georgia.

Re “The agony — and necessity — of Reggie Jackson’s memories about racism,” Page K7, June 30: I grew up going to Yankee Stadium with my father to watch Reggie Jackson in action. I have so many fond memories of that time, and number 44, “Mr. October,” became a childhood hero. When I watched Major League Baseball’s tribute to the Negro Leagues, I couldn’t help but be moved by Jackson’s powerful reflections on his time in Alabama. His words underscore how the pain of that era is forever imprinted on the lives of those who survived it.
My father didn’t talk much about the trauma of growing up in segregated and racially violent Alabama in the 1940s and 1950s; the pain was too deep for him to share. Perhaps that’s why Jackson’s experience impacted me so deeply. History teaches us never to forget, and Jackson’s searing recollections show that even as we move on, the pain remains.
