Kalen DeBoer has been making waves in Alabama after leading the Crimson Tide to a thrilling CFP first-round victory over the Oklahoma Sooners. The win has reignited memories of the glory days under the legendary coach Nick Saban.
According to Paul Finebaum, a win in the upcoming Rose Bowl against the Indiana Hoosiers will further solidify DeBoer’s position in Tuscaloosa. Finebaum believes that this victory could elevate DeBoer to new heights in the eyes of the Alabama faithful.
“It’s Christmas, of course, so I don’t want to go back to Friday night and show my texts on the air from people who were about to put Kalen DeBoer on a plane and send him to Ann Arbor,” Finebaum remarked.
The Crimson Tide’s impressive comeback from a 17-0 deficit against the Sooners has kept their national championship aspirations alive in DeBoer’s second season. However, DeBoer still has a long way to go to match Saban’s six championships at Alabama and achieve legendary status with the program.
Despite rumors linking him to the vacant head coaching position at Michigan following Sherrone Moore’s dismissal, DeBoer has emphatically denied any interest in leaving Alabama.
“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 stated in a press conference.
Speculation that DeBoer would consider the Wolverines’ offer if Alabama lost to Oklahoma has been put to rest after the Crimson Tide’s remarkable comeback victory.
As DeBoer remains focused on leading Alabama to further success, fans eagerly anticipate the outcome of the Rose Bowl clash against the Indiana Hoosiers. A win in this prestigious matchup could solidify DeBoer’s place as a beloved figure in Tuscaloosa.
In conclusion, Kalen DeBoer’s commitment to Alabama and his determination to carve out his own legacy within the program have endeared him to fans and silenced any doubts about his loyalty. With a potential Rose Bowl victory on the horizon, DeBoer’s stock in Alabama continues to rise, paving the way for a bright future with the Crimson Tide.
