All eyes in the college football world are on Norman, Okla., for the first-round College Football Playoff matchup Friday night between No. 8 Oklahoma and No. 9 Alabama. While the Sooners and Crimson Tide are fighting to keep their seasons and championship hopes alive, another program up north will be keeping a close eye on the events at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium—the Michigan Wolverines.
Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore on Dec. 10 and is searching for a replacement on the sidelines. One of those top names on the athletic department’s radar is Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, who led the Crimson Tide to a 10-3 record and CFP appearance this season.
