Paul Finebaum blasting Kalen DeBoer is something Vols fans everywhere will enjoy
There's something about Paul Finebaum always turning heads whenever he's on the air. This time around, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer is his latest target. While speaking with On3 Sports, DeBoer didn't hold back in blasting the first-year SEC head coach.
There's always going to be pressure to perform in Tuscaloosa, especially when you're the man in charge of replacing Nick Saban. With that said, The Crimson Tide are 6-2 on the year and 3-2 in conference play, which included a loss to the Tennessee Volunteers in Week 8.
Things are a bit rocky for DeBoer, but how bad are they? Per Finebaum, people at the university are losing patience with him. Not only that, but he's leaving the door open for him potentially being one and done with the program. What in the world?
Paul Finebaum claims Kalen DeBoer is on the hot seat at Alabama
"He's a good coach, but I don't think he's commanded the stage very well. I've been to Alabama twice in about two weeks now and there's a level of impatience with him. Some of it's natural, it's post-Saban, but his demeanor on the sidelines bugs people."

Finebaum then goes on to put extra pressure on the upcoming blockbuster matchup with LSU on Nov. 9, saying it could determine what we say about him in the offseason. So, should 'Bama suffer another loss, this time at the hand of the Tigers, could it mean he'll get fired?
Who knows, but hey, this is a problem for people at Alabama and not the good folks in Knoxville. Tennessee and Josh Heupel made things worse for the Crimson Tide by taking them down not long ago. Thanks to that win, the Vols are No. 7 in the country and in a good spot to make the College Football Playoff.
A lot of things are going right for Heupel and Co., but the same can't be said for DeBoer. He was a rockstar in Seattle after helping turn things around for Washington, but the opposite is proving to be the case with Alabama.
