Overview
- FOX Sports’ Bruce Feldman reports Michigan has “serious interest” in DeBoer, with Alabama’s College Football Playoff game against Oklahoma viewed by some as a possible inflection point.
- DeBoer reiterated this week that he intends to stay at Alabama, saying he has not spoken with other programs and has “no interest in speaking with anyone else.”
- Nick Saban said Alabama leadership fully supports DeBoer and characterized Michigan as a “top five” coaching job.
- Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham said he will remain in Tempe and is discussing an extension, narrowing Michigan’s candidate pool.
- Other names under discussion include Kyle Whittingham, who described himself as “in the transfer portal” and has signaled interest, Washington’s Jedd Fisch, and interim coach Biff Poggi, whom several Michigan players publicly endorsed.
