The speculation surrounding Kalen DeBoer and a potential move to Michigan isn’t dying down anytime soon — at least not according to two of college football’s most plugged-in voices.
During a recent discussion, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum and Heather Dinich both cautioned fans against assuming the situation is settled. Finebaum, never one to mince words, delivered a familiar reminder when it comes to coaching rumors at this level: “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” His message was clear — in today’s college football landscape, circumstances can change quickly, especially when powerhouse programs and massive expectations are involved.
Dinich echoed that sentiment, pointing out that while nothing is official, the noise around DeBoer continues for a reason. Michigan remains one of the most attractive jobs in the sport, and whenever a program of that stature has uncertainty or transition looming, elite coaches will always be part of the conversation — whether publicly acknowledged or not.
DeBoer’s rapid rise and consistent success have only intensified the speculation. With Michigan navigating its own questions about leadership and long-term direction, national analysts believe it would be premature to dismiss the possibility of movement entirely. Even if things appear calm on the surface, the behind-the-scenes dynamics of college football rarely stay that way for long.
For now, Finebaum and Dinich’s message is simple: don’t assume the book is closed. Coaching dominoes have a way of falling when least expected, and this storyline still has chapters left to be written.
