The 2024 Alabama team finished the year 9-4, with a loss in the ReliaQuest Bowl making it the Crimson Tide’s first year without at least 10 wins since Nick Saban’s first season in 2007. Since the season ended, DeBoer has made several staff changes, most notably bringing in offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who had initially followed him from Washington before opting to join the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks.
The 2025 edition of Alabama football will make its public debut April 12, with the A-Day game at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The regular season begins Aug. 30, when the Crimson Tide faces Florida State in Tallahassee.
