Every college football program has a support staff.

New Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, though, talked recently about how important that support staff is on the home front.

DeBoer, who joined “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Friday, was asked about his family, and he was quick to share how big a part of his life they are.

“You don’t do this job without someone that supports you in every way and allows you to go to work and pour yourself into these players and staff and program,” he said of Nicole, his wife of 22 years.

He also has two daughters: Alexis and Avery.

“They love football,” he said. “They love supporting the team, the players. Again, I couldn’t do this without their support.”

In November, Alexis DeBoer joined the Washington Huskies softball program. In high school at Bellevue High School, she was ranked No. 11 in the 2024 class by Extra Innings Softball. She was named first-team All-State while averaging .683 with 14 home runs.

Meanwhile, Avery is in the sixth grade.
