Kalen DeBoer and Alabama have players running to touch "TNT" signs after practice mistakes

There will always be comparisons of Kalen DeBoer and Nick Saban, that simply comes with the territory of following the GOAT.
At 5-2 (and 2-2 in SEC play), with games against Missouri, at LSU and Oklahoma and then the season ending rivalry game against Auburn, DeBoer is in danger of doing something Saban did just twice in his long and storied tenure in Tuscaloosa - losing three or more games in a season.
Saban famously lost six games in year one, and after that lost more than two games in a season just once (2010) over his next 16 years leading the program.
If there has been a criticism of DeBoer's first year (outside of his gameday choice of attire), it's that the signature discipline of Alabama teams under Saban has been missing, especially at critical moments.
To get back on track, all indications are that DeBoer and Alabama are refocusing on the details and trying to eliminate mistakes big and small.
A lot of programs say that with empty words, but Kalen DeBoer and Alabama have a strategy in place to address mistakes in practice.
CJ Dippre shared after a recent practice that "TNT" signs are around the practice facility.
After a mental mistake, or a penalty, players run and touch the sign as a physical reminder of things that "Take No Talent."
Dippre adds that it's a physical way to own the mistake, flush it, and shift the focus to the next play.
While it's unclear from the video exactly how long this practice has been around, it's clear that it's being emphasized after the Tide lost their second game of the season.
There are going to be a lot of coaches around the country that take this idea and implement it as soon as possible. Certainly one of those things that can transcend into other sports.
The Tide will get a chance to get back on track Saturday against Missouri at 3:45 EST on ABC.
