Reports @PeteThamel on @CollegeGameDay: "Sources tell me that Michigan officials remain convicted that they want to attempt to hire Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer. The result of tonight's game is going to factor heavily into that pursuit, as an Alabama loss would make the logistics of attempting to hire DeBoer much more tenable."

Thamel reported Alabama officials "have worked aggressively to try to sign Kalen DeBoer to a new deal."

As long as they're convicted.

Is it just me or am I missing the Deboer hype. He’s an OK coach

Curious who the target would be

It's been said that the higher ups at Bama hate Lane and truthfully he doesn't fit what they'd be looking for, but I know our fans will be terrified of that

Could see a few guys, but honestly it's not a clear answer.

Glenn Schumann is a bama alum but I can't see bama going with a first-timer. They'd look at Lanning of course

There is no world where DeBoer goes to that dumpster fire. He will use Michigan offer to get a raise at Bama.

First stop would be Cignetti’s door. If he goes 1 and out, however unlikely, it would be a big inflection point on what he will ultimately ever accomplish there and he’s a very cocky coach that wants to hold a trophy.

You’re also feeling out Dan Lanning.

I agree. Cig is from the Saban tree and would likely be a guy there

He's in his mid sixties though, so they'd need a HCIW behind him

They just gave him the raise of a lifetime. Alabama isn’t outbidding IU for Cignetti.

If he loses, they will increase their effort to hire him while Bama continues to negotiate a new deal?

There is a zero % chance that DeBoer leaves Bama for UM on his own decision.

There's a low but not quite zero % chance Bama fires Deboer and UM picks him up. Beating OU slams that door shut.
