The Crimson Tide is 5-1 in Kalen DeBoer’s first season, but the team still has areas that need improvement if it hopes to contend for a Southeastern Conference Championship or a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Mike McCoy, a former Alabama receiver and 2009 BCS National Champion, is one of Alabama’s top strength coaches. As the founder of Maximum Performance Training in Birmingham, McCoy is known for his emphasis on hard work and toughness.
He is also part of the Touchdown Alabama Magazine team and hosts “The Coaches Corner with Mike McCoy.” In his latest episode, McCoy shared his thoughts on the current state of the Alabama program under Coach DeBoer. While he respects DeBoer, McCoy believes the Tide needs to regain the toughness he saw during Nick Saban’s era. With a rivalry game against Tennessee looming, this is a critical matchup for Alabama.
