Podcast appearances and mentions of Nick Saban

And embrace this great quote. You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your SYSTEMS. You'll learn that Nick Saban didn't focus on winning the game. He focused on winning each seven second play. The ability to let go of the last play and focus on the next play or the next game is what high achievers do.

During the 2pm hour of today's show Heath and Chuck discuss the college football landscape, the Chicago Bears moving out of Chicago, Josh Pate, Nick Saban and Urban Meyer, the Hawks, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick Saban as college football's commissioner? Brian Smith lays out a bold vision for saving the sport, arguing only a leader of Saban's reputation can restore order amid NIL, transfer portal chaos, and rampant tampering. Drawing parallels to the NFL's disciplined approach, the show proposes automatic penalties—scholarship losses, hefty fines, and strict transfer rules—to end the current “wild west” era. Key topics include enforceable rules for NIL collectives, revenue sharing discrepancies (with examples like LSU's big signing class and Nike's NIL-sponsored programs), and playoff expansion rumors swirling between the SEC and Big Ten. Brian Smith explores potential leadership dream teams, including Urban Meyer, Don Staley, and even NFL executives, insisting that political interference only breeds bias. Is college football ready for real accountability—or will the chaos continue? Don't miss this provocative take on the future of the sport.

Alabama football is getting faster — and the roster churn isn't slowing down. On today's show, we break down Alabama flipping wide receiver Tyler Henderson from Kennesaw State and what his JUCO production + real in-game experience could mean for the Tide's revamped WR room. We also dig into the NIL retention battle and why Alabama can't afford to become a “feeder system” in the portal era.

When Stephen A. Smith sees Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer, he doesn't see the rightful heir to the Nick Saban dynasty. And, the ESPN personality made that painfully clear once more, but with a caveat. “I'm not a fan of Kalen DeBoer as the successor to Nick Saban. I have no problem with him as a football coach,” Smith said on Monday's edition of The Paul Finebaum Show on SEC Network.

College football recruiting faces a hidden reality: everyone's breaking the rules, from head coaches to boosters and even high school trainers. Are programs like Miami and Ole Miss just the tip of the iceberg? Brian Smith uncovers the systemic web fueling Transfer Portal inducements and NIL deals, highlighting why Darian Mensah and Luke Ferrelli's drama are only the most visible cases in a widespread game of back-channel negotiations.Smith exposes how college coaching financial incentives keep cheating rampant, with job security and massive salaries enticing both assistants and staff. He questions whether the NCAA or state governments can truly police these actions, especially in places like Tennessee, where bold laws protect teams' interests. Without clear rules and harsh penalties—like scholarship losses or playoff bans—can college football ever level the playing field? Is appointing a commissioner, possibly even Nick Saban, the next big step? The chase for wins continues, fair or not.Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

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.

Coach O also shared his thoughts on Lane Kiffin, his coaching future, and his connections to players in the Super Bowl.

Defining exactly what you want from athletes. Learn the importance of CONFRONTING them on discipline. Make it about THEM. Also learn about NFL scouting reports. The concept of AND or BUT.

Things Discussed: IU national champions: Most unlikely championships in the history of sports. Credit Cignetti and top to bottom program management. How did they do it? Talent evaluation is elite. Built like 2023 Michigan: develop a lot of your own guys and then surgically found guys in the portal. Seth: Lesson for the rest of CFB is ROI: IU wasn't paying that much for their JMU guys, wasn't spending to have 5-stars learning to play on the three-deep. Focus shifting from Ty Haywoods (super talented, needs 3 years) to Blake Frazier (ready now) because there's no guarantee you'll get any return. Need to build your scouting department to watch all of CFB and know what you need. Sam: Can Michigan recreate the JMU Dudes with some of the Utah guys they got? Not a coincidence the Big Ten is winning championships and SEC isn't even in the game. Two reasons the SEC was dominant: they had a culture of paying players under the table and they had Nick Saban. Being able to develop guys (without them leaving or costing too much) will be the golden egg in the future. How sustainable? Maybe? Bringing in a veteran QB every year, DC might get Jesse Minter'd to a better job. Should remain a good team, very hard to repeat. Hoops: Shooting better? Maybe, but 3s are random and they're probably capped around okay in that department because they have guys like Gayle, Cason and Yax. IU lost their main guy who could get to the bucket and M could lock them down. Excellent defensive performance disguised by Kenpom. IU shut down M's transition game by abandoning the boards. Interesting decision by IU because those were M weaknesses. Yax okay? Think he plays off Rez—the scouting report is focus on Yaxel so that's opened up things for Johnson, since no team has enough big wings to last against both of them. Ohio State preview: OSU is an effort game—Thornton can shoot and they make a lot of floaters. CANNOT let them cut and get to the rim. They don't play defense so you have to put up 100 on them. Nebraska: Nebraska might be without their freshman winger Braden Frager, that makes them a five-out team. Can you play Mara against them? Break: Tatum to RB? Probably a Whittingham "gonna try that" thing. He's had success with that, but it's a bit late and there's no scouting on it. Like what it says about Tatum as a team player. Don't think he can play both AND baseball. That's a lot, and safety is the moon to him. Hockey: Michigan is #1 in Big Ten points percentage but they've got the hardest schedule of any team in hockey left to go. Let off the gas for 10 minutes of 120 against Minnesota and were unlucky not to get more goals. Have to protect Peck—this team can play defense like that, going to have to maintain that focus. Can't lose points against the OSUs and Minnesotas because the games vs MSU/Wisconsin will determine the league. Can you get Ivankovic back? Maybe? Haven't heard anything positive except they haven't ruled it out. Trey Burke: Top three player in M history? Yeah. Block was clean, and so was the team.
