I listen to a couple of other channels. Have tried out maybe a dozen. This channel, Late Kick With Josh Pate, is hands down, far and away, the best college football channel on the internet.

In 5 years, this dude went from the OC at Fresno State to head coach at Alabama. Crazy ascent

[jaydubya]

Ever since Nick Saban retired, Josh Pate has been the only sports person I’ve trusted. He’s been thorough and no BS.

As a lifelong Bama fan that lived through some lean years, I LOVE this hire. Just remember, this isn't 2007. Saban left Bama WORLDS better than when he found it. All we need is a guy that knows how to win to steer the ship. I think DeBoer is that guy. Fanbase needs to give him a chance, schedule is BRUTAL next year but I think we are fine long-term

[bobbydyne]

Saban has coached at Alabama for half my lifetime. I remember pre-Saban Bama well but I’ve gotten so accustomed to seeing him on the sidelines each Saturday during Fall. I’m happy he chose retirement when he did so that he could enjoy it in good health while leaving my favorite team infinitely times better than he found it. Looking forward to the new era. Good or bad, the Tide will always roll

As an Alabama fan I look forward to see what Kalen DeBoer brings to coaching at Alabama.

I'm in Vienna with my wife sleeping after planning for us to go to many museums and bakerys tomorrow to eat Sachertorte. I'm secretly looking at college football news in the bathroom

[jaytoday]

This guy is gonna kill it. He just knows how to win. He’ll have us at 10 or more wins most years and in the playoff. Then, it’s just about if you play well when you’re in. Plus anyone who WANTS to follow the GOAT has balls of stone! Roll Tide!!

[bobbywebb]

When audio was released of Kirby and Saban talking after SEC championship, Nick said “you were right about one thing, I’m too old for this” Kirby immediately corrected him, but followed that up with “I appreciate everything you taught me coach” that sounded like a respectful and admirable “farewell my friend” and I really felt like Saban was done after the playoffs. The best to ever do it, got all the respect in the world for the man, but I’m glad we have Kirby and that HUGE road block we ran into every year, just got a bit more manageable.

[serenoart]

I just want to say, I appreciate your story the other night about how Nick Saban changed your life. After you shared that story, I understood you very differently. You are a great ambassador to what you learned from him. Keep passing it on brother.

Two of the other guys mentioned prominently in the Alabama coaching search, Dan Lanning and Steve Sarkisian, were a combined 0-5 against DeBoer over the past two seasons.

[brianlee]

Fantastic hire. He will win big there. Congrats Bama

[jaygabbard]

The DeBoer detractors don't give this guy enough props. This guy was the AP Coach of the Year, 3-0 vs Lanning, 2-0 vs Sark, and has won everywhere at every level he has coached. He will bring several great players with him through the portal, has a great offensive scheme that will feature a Heisman caliber qb in Milroe, and if he can hire Coach T-Rob at DC-will have the defense solid. If he can talk Bond and Wiliiams into staying-even better. Amazing hire!

[rondadams]

This is THE ONLY sport’s talking head show and host I watch on a regular basis. Josh is entertaining and informative and best of all he’s not full of himself or obnoxious about what he does.
Thanks for the great show and analysis of the only sport that really matters, College Football.

Oh, and Roll Tide!
So excited for our new coach and to see what our future holds.

[DubReed]

Been a Bama fan since 1992 and I wasn’t thrilled about this I’ll admit so I did some digging and WOW I was blown away! Track record is phenomenal plus he did something we couldn’t do this year…beat Texas with a roster not as loaded as Bama’s. Can’t wait to see what he does with better resources at his disposal and ROLL TIDE ROLL!

[devilman]

Best thing is that he will definitely hire a good o-line coach.

[joesmith]

A week ago you could have asked every Bama fan who they want to take over for Saban when he retires and not a single fan would have said Kalen DeBoer. Now that it's a done deal, all the sudden he is every Bama fan's first choice. 🤣

[Ralphdawg]

I don’t understand why this man doesn’t have a million subscribers yet. Josh the real deal man

[laerau]

K. DeBoer is one of those coaches that started at the bottom and worked his way to the top by his own merits. No OC/DC jobs at flashy programs to get his name in the media like many of the usual people mentioned during these coaching searches. Saban did the same thing during his career

[skipgumphrey]

When Mal Moore wrote the check to hire Coach Saban, I wasn’t completely in agreement with the choice but VERY happy to have been shown there was a choice better than my particular choice. I’m hoping that Greg Byrne writing the check for Coach Kalen DeBoer will do the exact same thing. If it even proves close to as successful then things will be just fine in Tuscaloosa going forward. I’m going to do my part and support Coach DeBoer as best I can.
Welcome aboard Coach !!!
