Alabama football’s troubles have only worsened since its 31-17 loss to Florida State on Saturday. The defeat drew so much attention nationwide that even President Donald Trump took a subtle jab at Kalen DeBoer’s squad while announcing the U.S. Space Command would move from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama.

While discussing Senator Tommy Tuberville, a former Auburn coach, Trump referenced the Crimson Tide's Week 1 loss.

"Tuberville, who's a great coach," Trump said. "And I won't say anything about what happened with Alabama football this weekend. But you're not used to that, right? You're not used to that."

Tuberville replied with a nod to Auburn’s success, referencing the Tigers’ 38-24 win over Baylor.

Trump acknowledged Tuberville's stance:

"Auburn won is right. So you're happy."

However, Trump has a long-standing connection with Alabama football. He developed a relationship with former Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban and hosted him in 2018 after Alabama won the 2017 College Football Playoff national championship.

Former Alabama QB critiques Crimson Tide players amid early season struggles

Nick Saban finished his last four seasons at Alabama with just six losses, while current coach Kalen DeBoer has gone 5-5 in his previous 10 games.

The contrast has fueled doubts about DeBoer’s ability to uphold Saban’s legacy, with some analysts, including ESPN’s Paul Finebaum, suggesting Saban should be released from his “College GameDay” duties to return to Alabama.

However, former Crimson Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron placed the blame squarely on the players after Alabama’s Week 1 loss.

"I don’t care who you have as a coach," McCarron said. "Whether it’s Coach Saban, Coach DeBoer, it doesn’t matter if guys on the team can’t do what they’re supposed to do and play with a reckless abandonment to where they have a nastiness about them and people have a fear of playing them.

"They’re going to struggle. And I hate to say it, but they’ve got to find a way to get back."

Alabama will aim to rebound in its Bryant-Denny Stadium opener against Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday.
