Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer faces job scrutiny after loss, but high buyout complicates potential firing.

After Alabama's season-opening loss to Florida State, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky questioned head coach Kalen DeBoer's job security, suggesting the team's performance was poor enough that former coach Nick Saban would have made roster changes. DeBoer faces scrutiny with a 9-4 record in his first season, but a $63 million buyout could make firing him costly. Despite the loss, Alabama still has a chance in the College Football Playoff but must improve their performance.
