The Alabama Crimson Tide are gearing up for a College Football Playoff run, but that hasn't stopped rumors linking head coach Kalen DeBoer to other programs.
Initially, in the offseason coaching cycle, DeBoer's name popped up for the Penn State job. Now, ESPN's Paul Finebaum is calling for the head coach to think about leaving the Crimson Tide for the Michigan Wolverines, who fired head coach Sherrone Moore earlier this week.
"If Alabama wins that game, I think this goes completely off the board and he moves on to the Rose Bowl to take on Indiana. But should Alabama lose, I don't need to tell you what it's like for Alabama to have consecutive four-loss seasons. I think he would take a deep breath and at least look at it - assuming that job is still open," Finebaum said.

While rumors about his future rage on, Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams made it clear the team isn't focused on speculations about DeBoer's future.
“Of course we see it on TV, but he’s gave us his best effort here and we’re focused on playing against Oklahoma, (so) we’re not really worried about it,” Williams told reporters Friday, according to a video taken by the Tuscaloosa News‘ Colin Gay. “At the end of the day, he serves us 100-percent, and that’s our coach, so we’re going to play for him. External noise is external noise, so we’re just focused on the internal.”
“He hasn’t really said much [about other jobs], but that’s kind of our motto: just focus on what’s going on internal because we’ve got to play for each other and all we’re worried about is the people internal.”
Alabama faces off against Oklahoma on Dec. 19. The winner will battle No. 1 seed Indiana in the Rose Bowl.
