DeBoer’s office door is always open and his vocabulary is … not quite as colorful.
Offensive lineman Jaeden Roberts was quick with an answer when asked the most significant difference between DeBoer and Saban.
“Oh, definitely personality,” said Roberts, a fifth-year senior. “You know, Coach DeBoer wants to get to know his team, get to know his players. And I’m not saying Coach Saban didn’t, but Coach DeBoer has really done a good job in getting to know everybody’s individuals and then bringing us in as a group and really making this feel like more a family type of team.”
Running back Jam Miller described a coach with a collaborative mindset.
“He also wants to hear what we have to say that can also better the team,” said Miller, a senior. “And just him doing that really builds a strong bond with us as a team.”
Is that unique? Has Miller experienced that kind of coaching before?
“Me personally? Nah, not really,” he said. “Of course, that’s probably new for most guys.”
