There's arguably no coach in college football whose job is in more jeopardy than Kalen DeBoer. When you're the head coach at Alabama, that comes with the territory, especially after going 20-8 across your first two seasons at the helm. But even with the Crimson Tide off to a 2-0 start in 2026, fans are already calling for his job.
Alabama got off to a slow start in Saturday's win over Kentucky, heading into halftime down 17-13. Things clicked in the second half, as the Tide scored 32 unanswered points to win 45-17. But fans saw enough in that rocky first half to start pushing for one man to replace DeBoer at Alabama: defensive coordinator Kane Wommack.

The effort the defense plays with. That’s what Bama needs man," one user wrote. "Kane Wommack for head coach if DeBoer leaves!" another commenter wrote.
"Kane Wommack is Top 2 AND HE’S NOT 2!!!! And it’s not even close!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 If DeBoer ever gets fired, I know who I want as our next HC. In the 3 years he’s been here, our games have been won because of defense.
Without question," one other added. "Kane Wommack deserves to be the head coach. He has the most dawg in him Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb gots to go," another replied.
