TAMPA, Fla. — The main takeaway from Day 922 of Kalen DeBoer's tenure at Alabama was roughly the same as his first day on the job.
It's OK not to be as sure as the school that just gave him another contract extension for winning one College Football Playoff game.
After eight losses in two seasons, an all-encompassing embarrassment against Indiana 6 1/2 months ago and dozens of press conferences where he says he understands the magnitude of this challenge with an energy more befitting a philosophy professor than football coach, the existential question about Alabama football under DeBoer remains the same.
Is he really the guy?
We're not talking about living up to the standard of Nick Saban. Even for $12.5 million a year, you can't ask a man to chase a ghost.
