Kalen DeBoer responds to rumors of surrounding Penn State job

Kalen DeBoer officially put to bed any notion of leaving Alabama for Penn State during a Thursday press conference ahead of this weekend’s SEC Championship Game.

“There’s never been any link,” DeBoer said when asked about rumors of him leaving for Penn State. “There’s never been any conversation. There’s never been any interest either way. And I’m so glad we can put that to bed right now.”

In addition to squashing speculation, DeBoer said that he and his family are “extremely happy,” at Alabama, stating, “Love the grind. Love this place.”

Penn State is still searching for a replacement for James Franklin.
