Last Call | Alabama Football Has a Problem: QB Battle, O-Line Losses & DeBoer Under Fire Jan 30, 2026

Show notes

Alabama Football enters a pivotal offseason as Kalen DeBoer begins shaping the next era in Tuscaloosa — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this episode, the hosts break down why it’s a positive sign that neither Alabama quarterback transferred, despite heavy portal movement elsewhere. DeBoer publicly called it a win, but the panel isn’t convinced everything is perfect — especially up front, where Alabama may have lost too many offensive linemen to the transfer portal. The conversation centers on the QB competition between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Mack is viewed as a talented but still hard-to-evaluate option, while Russell’s arm talent stands out immediately, with the hosts saying his ball comes off “like dynamite.” Ultimately, they agree the job will come down to mental processing, command of the offense, and comfort in DeBoer’s system. The show also dives into Alabama’s offensive line coaching change, explaining why the previous staff was replaced after multiple underwhelming seasons. New O-line coach Adrian Klemm arrives with a strong résumé as a run game coordinator and a track record of elevating line play — something the hosts agree Alabama desperately needed. From there, the discussion shifts to the NFL, where the panel calls it “embarrassing” that Bill Belichick was not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, especially given Clem’s ties to Belichick and his coaching tree. The episode wraps with a pair of powerful Alabama stories: Jake Coker recounts running into former coach Dameyune Craig at the Senior Bowl and reflects on how Craig fought to get him scholarship opportunities at both Florida State and Alabama. A tribute to Eddie Conyers, who passed away at 97 after serving as a referee at Alabama practices for nearly 60 years, including a classic Nick Saban story involving a flag Conyers had to pick back up after getting chewed out. From quarterback intrigue to coaching changes and Crimson Tide history, this is a must-watch conversation for any Alabama Football fan.

TNR 1/29/26 - Hour 2 | Kalen DeBoer Under the Microscope! WHO Gave Him a C? Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

Armando Salguero joins the show!

Super Bowl LX is set: Seattle Seahawks (-4.5) vs. New England Patriots - Sunday, February 8, 5:30 on NBC

On the college football side, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer receives a shocking C+ grade for his first season — sparking major debate across the SEC. Is that fair criticism, unrealistic expectations, or straight-up disrespect for a coach stepping into the impossible post-Saban era?

Auburn makes a statement with an 88–82 rally past Texas, and the momentum is real! We break down what Auburn’s win actually means, how sustainable this run looks heading into March, and whether this team has the makeup of a national champion.

Charles Barkley publicly picked Arizona to WIN the NCAA Tournament. Is Chuck seeing something everyone else is missing, or is this classic Barkley chaos?

Bediako Back, Florida Up Next & DeBoer Tweaks the Trenches | Bama and Bourbon Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama break down Alabama Basketball’s dominant blowout win over Missouri and dive headfirst into the controversy surrounding Charles Bediako’s re-debut with the Crimson Tide. What does Bediako’s return mean for Nate Oats’ rotation, the locker room, and Alabama’s ceiling as SEC play heats up?

The guys also look ahead to a massive Sunday showdown against defending national champion Florida, discussing matchups, keys to the game, and what a statement win would mean for Alabama Basketball’s postseason hopes.

On the football side, LT and Aaron react to Kalen DeBoer’s hire of a new offensive line coach and explore what that decision could signal for Alabama Football’s run game, physicality up front, and offensive identity heading into next season.

All of that conversation pairs perfectly with a smooth pour of Corner Creek Bourbon, making this episode a must-listen for Alabama fans who love college sports and spirits.
