Kalen DeBoer received the opportunity of a lifetime, but that doesn't mean the decision was an easy one.
The Washington coach jumped at the chance to coach Alabama when legendary Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban decided to retire last week. But DeBoer's decision to join the Tide meant that his tenure with the Huskies, which spanned two highly successful seasons, had to come to an end.
If you don't believe that was a difficult thing for DeBoer to accept, look no further than his introductory press conference as the Tide’s coach on Saturday. The newest Alabama coach ended his presser by thanking Washington in an emotional statement.
