Alabama Crimson Tide Football 2024: New Coach, New Challenges, Same Expectations

The 2024 season for the Alabama Crimson Tide football team promises to be an intriguing one. With legendary head coach Nick Saban replaced by former Washington Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer, and the SEC welcoming two new teams, many are questioning whether the Crimson Tide can continue their success from last season.

Despite not being viewed as national title contenders for most of the season, Alabama managed to win the SEC Championship over the Georgia Bulldogs and make it into the CFP. However, they ultimately fell to the eventual national champions, the Michigan Wolverines, in the Rose Bowl.

As Roll Tide Wire prepares for coverage of Alabama football news throughout the 2024 offseason, ESPN has released preseason rankings based on an algorithm that eliminates human bias. According to these rankings, Georgia is ranked as the top team in the nation for the upcoming season, with Alabama coming in at No. 5.

With such significant changes and uncertainty surrounding where they will rank, DeBoer and his coaching staff have limited time to shape a team capable of contending for a national title. This expectation has become a norm in Tuscaloosa, and fans will be eagerly watching to see how well DeBoer navigates this new environment and leads his players to success.
