Kalen DeBoer's name coming up with every big coaching vacancy or opening seems nothing more than lazy media takes. We saw it with the Penn State opening, and we just saw it again with the shocking Michigan opening. I myself wonder where people are getting their information from when it comes to these reports. I get it, it is easy to make a story out of it because there is a certain part of the Alabama fanbase that has never warmed up to DeBoer and feels like he is not living up to the Alabama standard.
There seems to be a narrative pushed that he does not like the pressure, and the expectations are too much.
