Michigan's unexpected entry in this season's coaching carousel following the firing of Sherrone Moore sparked conversation surrounding potential candidates with Alabama's Kalen DeBoer considered among the best fits.

Alabama Crimson Tide athletic director sends clear message about head coach Kalen DeBoer amid ongoing Michigan rumors.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer has had his name attached to numerous head coach openings over the past few weeks. While he's denied it multiple times, mainly the Penn State and Michigan jobs, he made a statement on Sunday, via Yea Alabama.

Following a legend is never easy. Look no further than late former Alabama head coach Ray Perkins, the Crimson Tide alum that succeeded the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant in 1983 only to be fired after just four seasons at the helm.
