A successor to Alabama head coach Nick Saban has been targeted. The Crimson Tide are expected to hire Washington’s Kalen DeBoer.

Still, questions remained about who might be his successor. The internet has been swirling with rumors, including growing thoughts that the next coach of Alabama would be Oregon’s Dan Lanning. Instead, Washington Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer will reportedly follow in Nick Saban’s footsteps.

Of course, with big news like this, college football fans had a lot of feelings and even some jokes.
