Actually, his DC at Alabama this year wasn’t on last year’s Washington staff. Kane Wommack was DC at Indiana for a season or two when DeBoer was OC there, and then spent the last three years as the head coach at South Alabama, where he went a respectable 22-16.
Despite seeming like a promising young coach when he was hired, he seems over his head right now as a DC at a premiere SEC school. Back to back weeks where he seemed to make no adjustments whatsoever as the game went on, couldn’t get off the field on 3rd/4th down, and got completely shredded with a defense that should be too talented for that to happen. Although the one loss, no matter how embarrassing, won’t be disqualifying for the expanded playoff, he and the defensive unit are officially a concern now.
