Alabama is the talk of college football right now, but not for the normal reasons that the Crimson Tide fans are used to. The team has lost 2 of its last 3 games, and has 2 losses before November for the first time since 2007.
As you can imagine, Alabama fans are starting to panic and wonder if Kalen DeBoer is truly the right guy for the job. SEC Network host Peter Burns tells Crimson Tide fans not to overreact, and stole a line from Aaron Rodgers when telling them what to do.
“R-E-L-A-X”

“Bama fans, R-E-L-A-X. Relax, okay,” Burns said on SEC This Morning. “I see what is happening right now is that Alabama fans almost turning on Kalen DeBoer. Do they not remember how Nick Saban did in year 1; do they not remember Saban even in year 2 with 3 losses?”
Burns used Alabama’s biggest rival as an example of people needing to relax and not make brash decisions.
“What has doomed the other university in that state in the SEC, Auburn, is that for a fanbase they weren’t happy,” Burns said. “It affected their recruiting, it affected the transfer portal and what not. Don’t go full Auburn, because it took them a decade to get kind of right, and I don’t think they are still right right now. Relax a little bit, Kalen DeBoer will be just fine.”
