Yeah, nothing screams “Strictly West Coast” like South Dakota, Southern Illinois, Eastern Michigan and Indiana.

Which part screams southeast?

Eastern Michigan in Ypsi?

My concern about DeBoer is that he has always been on the west coast. Not sure how that style of play might translate to the SEC. Hopefully very well but time will tell...

Style of play will translate just fine. Its the relationships with the high school coaches and such that need to translate.

Detroits on the fly meme and pic edits always crack me up.

Midwest to West Coast guy. That is even way more out there. He is from Sioux Falls and spent most of his time in the western and north western part of the country. Huge culture shock going to Bama.

Eddie Gaedel (sp)? if I recall. Good ole Bill Veeck.

Yes, uniform # 1/8.

We should have fired sunbelt billy last month and hired DeBoer. He is a good one.

I try... and I'm loopy with multiple time zone work! If you noticed, I actually went back to my EMU post because after posting it, I thought, "You know what? THAT post needs a graphic!"

He's been coach for 26 years and 6 were in a state one the west coat which are your words, not mine. The other 20 were in the midwest. Stop moving the goal posts.

We've had 15 years and we still can't hire a competent coach. It only took bama 2 days

I'm going to start a rumor that he legally changed the spelling of his last name so they couldn't link him to his blood diamond fortune!

He will be good. He seems like an older Urban Meyer-ish rise. Tons of experience at lower and mid-level programs and quickly moving up. And then he explodes at Utah.

Deboer does the same and exploded at Washington.

I exploded on your sister

Daughters get pregnant faster there too... be careful what you wish for!

Its all just smoke. Kiffy is signing the contract as we speak. Why would anyone pass on him?

 

[gatormandan]

BS. It's been Lane Kiffy from the start and still is. This is sexton doing what he does and the clowns being clowns and falling for it.

FIFY

Im not moving the goalposts. Stop being a troll and word nazi. The point is still valid, though it really wasnt that big of a point to begin with. He has no time coaching or living in the South. Its a huge culture shock, like McElwain at Florida...can be a bad fit. Dude is a winner though and nothing Ive really seen about him says he is a goofball like McElwain. Was just pointing out that he could be a Kyle Whittingham type who knows where he wants to be and $ wont lure him away given that he has stayed far west of the Mississippi for his entire adult life.

It don't make a damn which time zone or hemisphere DeBoer's coached in. He's an elite game day coach. Probably the best hire they could of possibly made, as long as he hires some recruiters.

I'm sure Saban left him the "playbook" for crootin at Bama.
