Kalen DeBoer’s future has been a trending topic for weeks. The Alabama Crimson Tide is now linked with the vacant Michigan Wolverines job following Sherrone Moore’s firing.
College football insider, Josh Pate, has now dropped a massive update on DeBoer’s future in Alabama. On Sunday’s episode of his football show, he said,
Thanks for the submission!
“I don’t think Kalen DeBoer is going anywhere. I feel pretty good about our sourcing on that.”

“So, you guys are free to believe whatever you want, but I do believe that he’ll be at Alabama this Friday and well beyond this Friday, no matter what the outcome of that game is.”
Kalen DeBoer was initially linked with the Penn State Nittany Lions job. However, the Nittany Lions have since appointed Matt Campbell to take over the job previously held by program legend James Franklin.
DeBoer is now viewed as one of the leading contenders for the vacant Michigan Wolverines gig. The Wolverines HC job is the highest-profile role available in college football after Moore’s dramatic firing. It remains to be seen how DeBoer handles the speculation following Alabama’s national championship quest.
Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama Crimson Tide up against the Oklahoma Sooners in the CFP first round
The Alabama Crimson Tide starts its quest for a first national championship since 2020 with a showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners. It’s Kalen DeBoer’s first playoff game as the Alabama Crimson Tide head coach.
The Crimson Tide enters the game fresh off an SEC Championship Game loss to the Georgia Bulldogs. The Crimson Tide looked well off pace for most of the game and was routed by a 28-7 score. The CFP selection committee deemed their 10-3 record as worthy of a playoff berth.
