Urban Meyer called out the rumors of Kalen DeBoer to Michigan, explaining what he believes was behind the speculation.

Kalen DeBoer remains haunted by rumors about becoming the next head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, despite his attempts to dismiss them earlier this week.

The Michigan Wolverines rumors surrounding Kalen DeBoer have received another big update ahead of the College Football Playoff.

Clearly, the answer is no. There have been a lot of reporters and fans over the last couple weeks who have convinced themselves that Alabama can win the national championship. Keep dreaming. Alabama is coming home with a loss on Friday night if it can’t run the ball.

With Alabama set to face Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff this Friday, there have been plenty of rumors surrounding Kalen DeBoer's future. DeBoer has been Alabama's head coach since 2024, owning a 19-7 record.

No. 9 seed Alabama plays at No. 8 seed Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff's first round in Norman on Friday night (8 pm ET, ABC/ESPN).

When Chris Creighton was named Eastern Michigan head coach, he took the advice of a coaching colleague and hired Kalen DeBoer.

Even so, No. 2 Ohio State is the only top-four seed without a title to its name. No. 1 Indiana, No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Texas Tech all won their respective conferences. That's a testament to how strong the Buckeyes, who will be defending their 2024 national title, were this season.

DeBoer's winning pedigree and offensive innovation offer Michigan a chance to rebuild. But can he truly conquer Tuscaloosa's shadow?
