Coach Kalen DeBoer of Alabama has taken steps to dispel rumors that he would be interested in the Michigan position.
In a statement released by Alabama’s NIL collective on Sunday, DeBoer expressed his satisfaction at Alabama and stated that he had “no interest in speaking with anyone else about any other job.”
He said:
“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,”
“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, who is in his second season at Alabama, is getting ready for the Tide’s first-round College Football Playoff matchup with Oklahoma on Friday. He had received a lot of attention as a potential replacement coach for the Wolverines.
DeBoer and Alabama had been negotiating a contract extension, according to a Sunday afternoon story from On3.
