Auburn Tigers head coach Alex Golesh joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from celebrity moments at a charity golf event to the new reality of building a winning college football program.

Golesh talks about being starstruck meeting John Daly and Bo Jackson, his relationship with country music star Riley Green, and how those connections can help Auburn Football in the modern NIL era.

The conversation also dives deep into the future of college football spring practice, including why Golesh still supports the current 15-practice model — unless the transfer portal changes the rules. He also explains why spring games matter for young players, what coaches learn from scrimmages, and how to evaluate Byrum Brown after an up-and-down performance.

Plus, Golesh opens up about the constant fundraising demands of modern college football, the true cost of roster retention, and why his goal at Auburn is not just to compete — it is to win a national championship.

Can Alex Golesh bring a fun, winning brand of football back to Auburn?

UAB head football coach Alex Mortensen joins The Next Round for an in-depth conversation on building the Blazers, recruiting in Birmingham, and how his time at Alabama under Nick Saban shaped his coaching philosophy.

Mortensen explains why connecting with the Birmingham community is critical to growing the UAB fan base and why the Blazers’ facilities — including Protective Stadium, the football operations building, practice facilities, and weight rooms — are major selling points in recruiting.

He also breaks down what he learned from spring practice, including why UAB’s defense is becoming longer, faster, more competitive, and more relentless. Mortensen discusses the next step for his players: moving beyond knowing what to do and learning the how and why behind elite execution.

The conversation also dives into Mortensen’s nine years at Alabama, what he learned from Nick Saban, and how working around offensive minds like Lane Kiffin, Brian Daboll, and Steve Sarkisian helped prepare him for this opportunity. Plus, he shares why he is excited about hiring Todd Grantham as defensive coordinator and how his network of coaches continues to guide him.

Can Alex Mortensen build UAB into a winner in Birmingham?

Alabama football just landed a major commitment for the 2027 recruiting class as five-star quarterback Elijah Haven has committed to the Crimson Tide over Georgia, LSU and Auburn. Mick Gillespie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker break down what Haven’s commitment means for Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb and the future of Alabama’s quarterback room.

Haven, a Baton Rouge standout and Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year, put up monster numbers with 3,931 passing yards, 62 touchdowns and nearly 1,000 rushing yards. Is Alabama building the next elite QB pipeline in college football?

Plus, Jake Coker gives his thoughts on Ty Simpson’s NFL Draft stock, why Simpson’s accuracy, anticipation and football IQ could translate to the next level, and why Coker compares parts of his mental game to quarterbacks like Drew Brees and Tom Brady.

And finally, Mick and Jake recap their trip to the Flora-Bama Mullet Toss, where Mick claims a shocking upset win over Coker. Jake explains what went wrong, from a limp fish to a brutal headwind, and remembers the days when he could launch a football over 70 yards.

🏈 Alabama football recruiting update

🏈 Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb’s QB room

Alabama Football and Basketball are both making major moves — but is Alabama spending its money in the right places? 🐘💰

The crew debates Kalen DeBoer’s new contract extension and raise, asking whether Alabama should be handing out massive coaching money before winning an SEC Championship or national title. While the group likes DeBoer personally, the bigger question is whether that money would be better spent on NIL, roster management, and building a dominant offensive line. 🏈🔥

Would Alabama be better off spending big on elite offensive linemen instead of pouring money into coaches or quarterbacks? The panel dives into the new reality of college football, where NIL money, transfer portal recruiting, and roster construction may matter more than ever. 💵📈

The conversation then shifts to Nate Oats, who gets major praise as one of the best investments in college basketball. From his transfer portal success to his analytical approach, the crew explains why Oats is “different” and why he may be worth every penny. 🏀📊

Plus, Ty Simpson’s NFL Draft buzz takes center stage as the host reacts to Simpson being drafted 13th overall by the Los Angeles Rams. Despite dealing with a lack of run game and injuries in college, Simpson’s accuracy, toughness, and pocket maneuvering make him an intriguing NFL fit. 🐏🎯

And yes — the show closes with one of the strangest sports traditions around: The Mullet Toss. Multiple-time champion John joins the set to break down the winning technique for throwing a fish like a softball. 🐟😂

Alabama Football, Alabama Basketball, Kalen DeBoer, Nate Oats, Ty Simpson, NIL, SEC Football, NFL Draft, College Football, and the Mullet Toss — all in one loaded discussion.

• The 2026 NFL Draft Round One is in the books and the Alabama Crimson Tide has extended an impressive streak. The Miami Dolphins selected Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor with pick 12 extending an Alabama Football streak of first round selections to 18 consecutive years and the streak of multiple first round selections to ten consecutive years.

• That second streak continued because the Los Angeles Rams selected Alabama Football QB Ty Simpson with pick 13, a surprise to many that Simpson went that high. Simpson had been a large focus of the night as the presumed second QB off the board but many analysts thought he’d go lower than 13.

• Connor O'Gara from The OG Kickoff joins the show!

• The College Football Playoff Management Committee continued to weigh multiple potential formats during their annual meetings this week. However, despite openness in the room, no decision was made.

• SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey is holding strong for a a 16-team College Football Playoff as momentum seems to have grown for the Big Ten proposal of 24 teams.

• A potential 24-team playoff would add 12 games and an additional round of the tournament. The committee received presentations from analysts who projected what viewership could look like with a changed format, along with conversations with network partners.

• Schedule remains one of the greatest complications. Historically, the national title game was set for the second Monday of January. With the 12-team playoff, it's pushed at least two weeks later. Additionally, as the season goes longer, the NFL starts to encroach.

• The NFL starts playing games on Saturday in December, which has become a major complication for the college football postseason. Each of the past two years, two of the four first-round games have gone up against NFL matchups; they have drawn substantially fewer viewers. If the playoff were to add another round, it would either have to play on weekdays or risk some of its most valuable games against the most powerful league in sports.

• Which current college football coaches have produced the most NFL Draft picks? What does that tell us about what those coaches have, or have not, accomplished?

Alabama athletics is at the center of a massive debate in this episode, from Nate Oats stacking Alabama Basketball with size and shooting to serious concerns about Alabama Football’s physicality, recruiting, and ability to run the ball.

We break down why Alabama Basketball fans should be excited about Oats’ latest recruiting class, including multiple big men over 6'10" and a proven 40% three-point shooter from Boise State. On the football side, the conversation turns to whether Alabama is falling behind in the NIL era, with concerns that programs like Ohio State, Texas, and Miami are spending at a level the Crimson Tide may not be matching. With revenue sharing changing the sport and football rosters projected to cost $35–40 million, what does that mean for Alabama moving forward?

We also discuss Pete Golding’s move to Ole Miss and why his aggressive, all-in coaching mentality may be getting a different level of appreciation now than it did in Tuscaloosa. Plus, transfer portal and quarterback updates, including Ashton Daniels at Florida State and Jackson Arnold’s move to UNLV.

And yes, the conversation takes a wild turn into UFOs, missing scientists, FBI investigations, Bob Lazar on Joe Rogan, and a heated debate over the 1969 moon landing.

If you follow Alabama Football, Alabama Basketball, SEC recruiting, NIL, transfer portal news, and college athletics, this is one you do not want to miss.

How much does it really cost to keep Alabama Football competing at the highest level in the NIL era?

In this video, we break down the growing NIL arms race in college football and what it means for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Courtney Morgan and Greg Byrne have made it clear that the financial pressure is real, with estimates suggesting it could take around $40 million to build and maintain a true championship-caliber roster. If Alabama already has one of the top athletic budgets in the country, why are other programs still pulling ahead?

We also dive into the debate over a freshman NIL salary cap and why that idea is gaining support. Is it smart to pay unproven high school players more than $1 million before they ever take a meaningful snap, or is college football creating a dangerous market that rewards hype over production?

On top of that, we discuss player retention, transfer portal frustration, and why losing proven veterans stings even more when they take shots at Alabama on the way out. From Tim Smith’s departure to bigger concerns about roster management, this conversation gets into the real challenges of keeping talent in Tuscaloosa.

And finally, we look at the Alabama quarterback competition between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Who has the edge, how do offensive coaches usually handle these battles, and why does picking a starter early matter so much for locker room chemistry and offensive stability?

If you follow Alabama Football, college football NIL, the transfer portal, or the future of roster building in the SEC, this is a discussion you do not want to miss.

In this episode, we cover a little bit of everything: a big upcoming event, Alabama football nostalgia, Ty Simpson’s NFL Draft outlook, and why Keelon Russell has so many people excited about the future of Alabama Football.

We start by previewing the 2026 International Mullet Toss, where the competition is once again on between us on Mullet Toss Saturday. With Pearl River Resort sponsoring the trip, the stakes are simple: head-to-head bragging rights, and the loser buys the winner a steak dinner at Philip M Steakhouse.

From there, the conversation shifts into music and memories as we talk about Toby Keith and why his songs meant so much to us growing up, especially in the years following 9/11.

Then we dive deep into Alabama football. We break down Ty Simpson’s NFL Draft prospects, why his football IQ, mechanics, and mental processing stand out so much, and why one of us believes he may be the best quarterback in the entire draft despite some durability concerns.

We also take a trip down memory lane and try to name every Alabama quarterback since Jay Barker, including starters, backups, forgotten names, and fan favorites from different eras of Crimson Tide football.

Finally, we look ahead to the next chapter at quarterback, where Keelon Russell is emerging as the projected starter. We discuss his arm talent, touch, upside, and why his passing ability brings back comparisons to Tua Tagovailoa.

This episode is packed with Alabama football talk, NFL Draft discussion, old-school QB memories, Toby Keith appreciation, and a preview of one of our favorite annual competitions.
