Kalen DeBoer got his team back on track after a slow start and they moved into the quarter-finals as a result. And now that they’ve got one post season game under their belts, you have to wonder if it’s to their advantage, as opposed to the top 4 teams that had a bye and haven’t played in weeks.

The chatter connecting Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer and Michigan grew louder on Friday following a report from ESPN's Pete Thamel, who had this to say before the No. 9 Crimson Tide visited No.

When the season began it seemed like coach Kalen DeBoer might not last at Alabama. Now he's in position to reach the College Football Playoff semifinals.

It’s never easy to be the guy who replaces the guy. That’s exactly what Kalen DeBoer has been trying to do at Alabama for the past two seasons, replacing Nick Saban. Naturally, that’s drawn some criticism as he’s tried to live up to expectations.

After getting throttled by the Georgia Bulldogs and the termination of Sherrone Moore, people started putting DeBoer's name atop the Michigan head coaching candidate list. Again, DeBoer remained committed to the Crimson Tide, going as far as to release a statement about his preparation ahead of the first round of the CFP against Oklahoma.

DeBoer delivered a Christmas miracle, and now Alabama is playing for the roses. You might be laughing, but Saban never won a first-round playoff game on the road at night after trailing by 17 points. Can DeBoer build off that success for Alabama’s quarterfinal match-up against Indiana?

Ty Simpson is in the midst of preparing Alabama to take on top-seeded Indiana in the Rose Bowl. Before the New Year’s Day matchup takes place, the Crimson Tide QB1 took a moment for an appearance on Bussin’ With The Boys with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan.
