DeBoer Threatens to Quit?: Coach Team Revolt as Mac Jones Ditches NFL for Alabama Role Post Spring…See More…
TUSCALOOSA, AL – May 8, 2025 – Alabama football is teetering on collapse after former quarterback Mac Jones, spurning NFL free agency, was named Director of Player Development in a shocking post-A-Day spring game announcement. Head coach Kalen DeBoer, blindsided by the move, threatened to resign, declaring, “I won’t work with Jones back in my program!”
DeBoer’s ultimatum came during a fiery staff meeting, where he accused a booster clique, the “Crimson Cabal,” of forcing Jones’ return to exploit his 2020 National Championship fame for recruiting and NIL deals. Assistant coaches, led by Nick Sheridan, revolted, chaining the Mal Moore Athletic Facility’s gates and hoisting a “Keep Mac Out” banner. “He’s no coach!” Sheridan bellowed, as staff vowed to block Jones’ entry.
The roster splintered, with quarterback Jalen Milroe leading anti-Jones veterans in a locker room standoff, while freshmen rallied for Jones, chanting “Mac’s our guy!” Fans, enraged, set fire to Jones’ old jerseys outside Bryant-Denny Stadium, with #BamaRebellion trending on X. Nick Saban, spotted at a Tuscaloosa diner, muttered, “This ain’t my circus,” dodging questions.
Jones, marooned at a local motel, posted on X: “Came to help Bama, not hurt it.” As police cordon off the chaotic facility, boosters scramble to salvage the hire, but DeBoer’s resignation threat looms large, with rumors he’s eyeing an SEC rival. With SEC Media Days nearing, Alabama’s season hangs by a thread.
