In his last 10 games as Alabama’s head coach, Kalen DeBoer is just 5-5.
And removed from the cozy confines of Tuscaloosa, DeBoer is a paltry 1-5 in his past six away games.
It’s doubtful that Alabama parts with DeBoer due to the hefty buyout figure, but we’ve seen crazier things happen in college football.
For some fun speculation, SportsBetting.ag has posted odds for Alabama’s next head coach. There are 22 candidates and each’s respective chances below.
Additionally, the sports book has updated the market for first Power 4 coach fired this season. Here are some notable changes since we last sent two weeks ago:
- Brent Pry is now the favorite, going from 7/1 to 5/1

- Kalen DeBoer went from 45/1 to 20/1
- Mike Norvell went from 14/1 to 22/1
