In a moment filled with deep emotion, Alabama’s offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer came close to tears as he delivered a heartfelt message following the announcement of his contract extension with the Crimson Tide. DeBoer’s journey to this point has been one marked by determination, hard work, and a passion for the game that resonates through every play he calls. Now, with the news of his contract extension, DeBoer’s message was not just about gratitude—it was a powerful reflection on his journey and the people who helped him along the way.
“It’s been an incredible journey,” DeBoer began, his voice catching slightly as he spoke in front of the press and the Alabama coaching staff. “To have the trust and faith of this organization means the world to me. I’ve always believed in the power of hard work, and I’ve given everything I have to this team. Knowing that I get to continue doing what I love here… it’s overwhelming in the best possible way.”

His journey took him through a series of coaching roles, each one a stepping stone to this moment.
His message wasn’t just about his career; it was about the people who had supported him. “To my family, the coaching staff, and everyone who believed in me, thank you,” he said, visibly emotional. “This isn’t just a job; it’s a calling, and I’m blessed to be able to pursue it with such an amazing group of people.”
With this contract extension, DeBoer is now set to continue his tenure at Alabama, working alongside Head Coach Nick Saban to help the Crimson Tide maintain their status as one of the most formidable teams in college football. As the extension solidifies his place in Tuscaloosa, one thing is clear: Kalen DeBoer’s heart and soul are firmly embedded in the future of Alabama football.
