- Last Call | Alabama Football’s Biggest Problem? NIL, Transfers & Spring Practice Concerns
Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillespie for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of Alabama football, the impact of the transfer portal and NIL, and whether Alabama is investing enough to stay on top in today’s college sports landscape.
The discussion opens with a look ahead to Alabama spring practice, including the players Coker is most excited to watch. He talks about both quarterbacks, highlights Jase McClellan as one of the most dynamic athletes on the offense, and explains why McClellan’s loyalty to Alabama stands out in the NIL era. They also break down the biggest concern for the Tide heading into the season: the offensive line, where a lack of continuity could be a major issue.Mick and Jake also share memories from some of their favorite Alabama football games, including the LSU national championship win, the Rocky Stop against Tennessee, Alabama’s title run with Coker, the 2009 SEC Championship Game, and the 1996 Iron Bowl. The conversation also revisits legendary Alabama defensive back George Teague and two of his most iconic football moments.Later, the show takes a strong turn into the changing economics of college athletics. Mick and Jake discuss how NIL, the transfer portal, and overall program spending are reshaping the future of college football. They debate whether Alabama must focus more of its financial resources on revenue-producing sports to avoid slipping behind the national elite.They also dive into Alabama basketball, with praise for Nate Oats and discussion about whether this team can make another deep postseason run. Plus, they touch on roster questions, March expectations, and how this year’s group compares to Alabama’s Final Four squad.If you’re passionate about Alabama Crimson Tide football, SEC football, college football NIL, and the future of Alabama athletics, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.Topics covered:Alabama football spring practice previewJake Coker’s favorite returning Alabama playersAlabama offensive line concernsFavorite Alabama football games of all timeGeorge Teague’s legendary momentsNIL and transfer portal impact on AlabamaProgram spending and athletic department prioritiesAlabama basketball, Nate Oats, and NCAA Tournament talkSubscribe for more Alabama football and Alabama basketball coverage.#AlabamaFootball #RollTide #AlabamaCrimsonTide #BamaFootball #SECFootball #CollegeFootball #NIL #TransferPortal #AlabamaBasketball #NateOats #SpringPractice #JaseMcClellan #MickGillespieLearn more about your ad choices.

1 hr 11 min - No Philon, No Problem: Alabama Dominates Mississippi State | Bama and Bourbon
Seven straight wins and spring football on the horizon? That calls for a smooth pour IN OUR NEW STUDIO! 🥃🐘
On this episode of Bama and Bourbon, Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama break down Alabama Basketball’s dominant blowout win over Mississippi State — and they did it without leading scorer Labaron Philon. How did the Crimson Tide adjust offensively? Who stepped up in Philon’s absence? And what does this performance say about the depth and championship ceiling of Nate Oats’ squad during this 7-game winning streak?
The guys dive into what’s fueling Alabama’s momentum in SEC play, how this stretch impacts NCAA Tournament seeding, and whether this team is peaking at the right time as March approaches.
Then the focus shifts to the gridiron as LT and Aaron look ahead to Kalen DeBoer and Alabama Football gearing up for spring practice. What are the biggest storylines to watch? How is the roster shaping up? And what does year 3 under DeBoer need to look like for the Crimson Tide to get back into national championship contention?
All of it pairs perfectly with a pour of Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke, blending bold Alabama sports talk with smooth bourbon flavor.
If you’re an Alabama Basketball fan, an Alabama Football diehard, or a true bourbon enthusiast, this episode is for you.
