As Alabama turns its full attention to the College Football Playoff, head coach Kalen DeBoer made one thing abundantly clear on Sunday: his focus is on the Crimson Tide, and only the Crimson Tide.

In a statement released on X through Yea Alabama, the university’s NIL collective, DeBoer made his stance unmistakably clear.

“I have not spoken and have no interest in speaking with anyone else about any other job,” DeBoer said. “I am fully committed to this program and look forward to continuing as the head football coach at the University of Alabama.”

As rumors circulated nationally amid Alabama’s postseason run, DeBoer’s message served as a firm and direct response. There was no hedging, no future-looking language, and no room for interpretation. His focus, he made clear, remains entirely on Alabama and the opportunity in front of the program.

DeBoer also addressed his family’s situation in Tuscaloosa and expressed gratitude for the support he has received since arriving.

“My family and I are very happy in Tuscaloosa and remain extremely grateful for the support of President Mohler, Greg Byrne, the board and so many others,” DeBoer said through Yea Alabama, the Crimson Tide’s NIL collective.

That sense of stability matters, especially with the stakes as high as they are right now.

Alabama is preparing for a College Football Playoff matchup against Oklahoma, and DeBoer emphasized that his attention is locked in on that challenge.

“We have an incredible opportunity in front of us, so my sole focus is on Alabama football and our preparations to play Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff,” DeBoer said.

He reiterated his position once more, leaving no doubt about where he stands.

“I have not spoken and have no interest in speaking with anyone else about any other job,” DeBoer said. “I am fully committed to this program and look forward to continuing as the head football coach at the University of Alabama.”

The timing of DeBoer’s statement sends a clear message to players, recruits, and fans alike.

As Alabama chases another national championship, the head coach’s priorities are firmly aligned with the program’s goals.

With the College Football Playoff approaching, DeBoer’s words underscore what Alabama expects from its leadership: focus, commitment, and an all-in approach when it matters most. DeBoer is all in, and he’s exactly where he wants to be.
