Last Call | Alabama’s 8.5 Win Total Is INSULTING? Jake Coker Reacts May 12, 2026

Show notes

Jake Coker and Mick Gillespie are back with a wild mix of college football talk, competitive eating stories, NIL drama and celebrity encounters.

Mick shares the unbelievable story of officiating a bologna-eating contest where Joey Chestnut crushed 16 pounds of bologna in eight minutes to set a new world record. The guys also revisit Chestnut’s rivalry with Kobayashi, including Joey’s dominant 83-66 win in their 2024 Netflix showdown.

Then the conversation shifts to college football, where Alabama’s win total is getting attention. MGM has the Crimson Tide set at 8.5 wins, but is that too low for Kalen DeBoer’s team — or realistic with Georgia, Tennessee, LSU and a brutal SEC schedule ahead?

Jake and Mick also discuss Alabama landing four-star linebacker Kenneth Simon II, the positive buzz around Kane Wommack’s defense, and what Jake is hearing through the grapevine about the Crimson Tide.

Plus, the guys break down Lane Kiffin’s Vanity Fair comments on Ole Miss, his move to LSU, the pressure inside Baton Rouge and whether LSU’s NIL machine can help Kiffin finally challenge Alabama at the top of the SEC.

Also on the show: Mick’s Tim Burchett story, UFO disclosure talk, the cutthroat NIL landscape, schools struggling to meet financial guarantees and Arkansas cutting its men’s and women’s tennis programs.

Topics include:

Alabama Football, Kalen DeBoer, Kane Wommack, Lane Kiffin, LSU Football, Ole Miss, Joey Chestnut, Kobayashi, Tim Burchett, NIL, SEC Football, Arkansas athletics cuts and more.

TNR 5/11/26 - Hour 3 | Which $10MM Coaches Earn It? May 11, 2026

Show notes

No longer does $10,000,000 get you in the top 10 of coaching salaries, who in the top ten is earning their tens of millions?

The latest CBS NBA Mock Draft has LaBaron Philon going 13th to the Miami Heat and Amari Allen going 27th to the Boston Celtics. Great news for the former Alabama Basketball guard but what does it mean for Allen?

CBS Sports looks at the season defining games for these contenders: Texas Longhorns, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, Georgia Bulldogs, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Indiana Hoosiers, Miami Hurricanes, Texas A&M Aggies, LSU Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Tech Red Raiders, USC Trojans, Ole Miss Rebels and Alabama Crimson Tide
