Kalen DeBoer left Washington to be Nick Saban’s successor at Alabama in 2024 and it’s gone fairly well, all things considered. National championships are the expectation in Tuscaloosa and DeBoer missing the College Football Playoff in his first season at the helm wasn’t ideal. But he has the Rolling Tide well-positioned to qualify for a CFP berth this year and the team will play in the SEC championship game on Saturday.
But given how wild the college coaching carousel has been this season, rumors have swirled connecting DeBoer to the still-open Penn State job despite his team’s success. On Thursday, meeting with the media ahead of Alabama’s championship bout with Georgia, DeBoer firmly put any noise he might head to Happy Valley to rest.
