Kalen DeBoer Is The Opposite Of Nick Saban When It Comes To Cussing

Alabama players might be in for a surprise when practices get underway with new head coach Kalen DeBoer.

DeBoer was hired away from Washington to replace Nick Saban after the legendary retired. It's not a secret that the seven-time national champion could blow his lid and flip out.

Saban had a short fuse, and if he lost his temper, you could expect sparks to fly. That included plenty of……colorful language.

Anyone capable of reading lips on TV knows Saban wasn't afraid to drop some f-bombs.

Kalen DeBoer isn't a fan of cussing.

Well, don't expect to see the same out of DeBoer as he ushers in a new era of Crimson Tide football. He's not a big fan of cussing.

"There’s a fire don’t get me wrong. There's a fire and there's a competitiveness that guys see. I think they see that already in the workouts. They feel that in how we meet in team meetings, and the standard that exists. It's still the same standard, it's just messaged a different way, I think. I just feel like you are who you are," the Alabama coach replied when asked on "The Next Round" about a claim that he doesn't cuss, according to Rivals.

The man definitely seems a bit vanilla compared to his predecessor.

Alabama players are definitely in for a bit of a surprise it sounds like. Again, Saban was never afraid to cut it loose. His rants were legendary during his coaching his career.

Whether it was players or coaches, nobody wanted to catch Saban's anger. It was just a flurry of bad language and yelling.

Meanwhile, DeBoer prefers a bit of a softer approach. He's won at a high level. So, it's hard to judge him, but it sounds like Alabama players won't be met with the same fury they experienced since Saban was hired. Will a softer approach work in Tuscaloosa?
