May 06, 2026 Last Call | Jake Coker Reveals What Made Nick Saban’s Alabama Dynasty Different
Where does Jake Coker stack up among Alabama’s best single-season passing leaders — and what does that list say about the evolution of Crimson Tide football?

On this episode of Last Call, the guys break down Alabama’s all-time single-season passing yard leaders, including Bryce Young, Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, Ty Simpson, Blake Sims, AJ McCarron, Greg McElroy, and Jake Coker. The conversation turns into a bigger look at the Nick Saban era, Alabama’s championship standard, and why even a two-loss season felt like a disappointment under Saban.

Jake Coker reflects on the 2015 national championship team, what made that group so hungry, and how Nick Saban shaped players beyond football through accountability, toughness, and leadership. The guys also discuss Derrick Henry’s dominance, Saban’s place next to Bear Bryant, and the challenge Kalen DeBoer faces as Alabama enters a new era.

Plus, Coker shares stories on Byron Leftwich, Carson Palmer, the Senior Bowl, and his time in the NFL.

Drop your thoughts in the comments: Who is the greatest Alabama quarterback of the Saban era?
