DeBoer reaffirms commitment to Alabama, has 'no interest' in other jobs
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer claims he has no interest in leaving the Crimson Tide despite speculation linking him to Michigan's coaching vacancy.
"My family and I are very happy in Tuscaloosa and remain extremely grateful for the support of president (Peter) Mohler, (athletic director) Greg Byrne, the board, and so many others," DeBoer said in a statement issued Sunday. "We have an incredible opportunity in front of us, so my sole focus is on Alabama Football and our preparations to play Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff.
"I have not spoken and have no interest in speaking with anyone else about any other job. I am fully committed to this program and look forward to continuing as the head football coach at the University of Alabama."
DeBoer is in his second season as Alabama's head coach since taking over for the legendary Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide finished the 2025 regular season with a 10-3 record and earned a berth in the College Football Playoff as the No. 9 seed.
The 51-year-old previously coached at Fresno State and Washington for two years apiece.
Michigan is without a full-time head coach following the program's dismissal of Sherrone Moore on Wednesday.
