If punching a ticket to the Rose Bowl wasn’t enough to convince people that Kalen DeBoer is staying at Alabama, then the news of a new candidate emerging in Michigan’s coaching search will.
Multiple reports say Michigan’s new target is former Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham. A few weeks ago, he announced his plans of stepping down from his role as head coach of the Utes at the end of the season, but he is going to coach Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl.
The DeBoer to Michigan rumors did not automatically go away after Alabama’s 34-24 win over Oklahoma to advance to the Rose Bowl, but it sounds like Michigan is in a hurry to get a new head coach because of the college football calendar.
