Kalen DeBoer was asked Monday whether he would be Alabama football’s head coach next season.

DeBoer put out a statement Sunday in response to rumors of him being a potential candidate for the Michigan job. He was asked to clarify his statement on Monday, and he confirmed he has no plans of talking to anyone.

“I put a statement out yesterday because, first of all, our guys handle distractions phenomenally,” DeBoer said. “It’s been that way all season long. They continue to do that. I also knew that yesterday and today was pretty important. I wasn’t gonna see you till today to address it. So, that’s why I put that out there. A lot of the same things I said before a couple weeks ago when asked, really the same question. Just feel completely supported. My family loves living here, just all the things that we continue to build on, love the progress. Haven’t talked with anyone, no plans of talking with anyone. I think that’s a lot of what I said a couple weeks ago and continues to be the same thing. Feel strong about it.”

Alabama continues to prep for the first round of the College Football Playoff.
