Tuscaloosa, Alabama – After a blowout defeat to flailing Oklahoma left Alabama with an uncharacteristic 3-loss regular season, it appears that Crimson Tide boosters are re-thinking their post-Nick Saban gameplan.

One source, who spoke with CFBNN on the condition of anonymity, confirmed that a group of donors are actively researching whether an antiquated state law could be used to oust first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer.

“Look, it isn’t our preference, to go this route. And technically, it’s already been defeated at the Supreme Court level, but never in this exact situation. Plus, the presiding judge is an alum, so we’re confident we’d be getting a sympathetic judgement in the matter,” said our source.

The 1897 legislation, called the Willoughby-Thornton Land Act, prohibits citizens who were born north of the Mason Dixon from owning property in the state of Alabama.

“The hire never should have happened to begin with,” the booster said. “He’s from where? South Dakota? Is that even a state?”

“I mean, this is precisely the situation the law was drafted for,” our source continued. “A yank never should have been put in control of the pride of Alabama,” our source said.

“And of course, we’re talking for-cause, so no buyout, which is going to help with our budget for the next guy.”
