Could the SEC actually break away from the NCAA? On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker react to Greg Sankey's eye-opening comments from SEC Media Days and discuss why college football's lack of leadership, inconsistent NIL rules and massive financial disparities could eventually lead to a new super-league. The guys examine how a potential SEC and Big Ten breakaway could reshape college football, whether programs like Clemson and Florida State could eventually join the SEC, and why the current system cannot regulate Alabama, Texas, Ohio State and Michigan the same way it regulates smaller athletic departments. Jake also revisits the legendary feud between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher, revealing how personally Fisher took Saban's comments about Texas A&M recruiting. With NIL spending now becoming the standard across college football, does Jimbo's furious response look even worse in hindsight? The conversation then turns to the culture Nick Saban built at Alabama. Jake shares inside stories about the player-led leadership of Jarran Reed, Jonathan Allen, A'Shawn Robinson, Ryan Anderson and other Crimson Tide stars—including how Scott Cochran reportedly broke a second-place trophy to reinforce Alabama's championship-or-bust mentality. Can that type of culture still exist in the transfer portal and NIL era? Plus, Alabama was picked to finish a stunning seventh in the SEC preseason poll. Are Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide being overlooked? Jake breaks down Ryan Grubb's quarterback development, Alabama's loaded QB room, Kane Wommack's defense, concerns about the offensive line and running game, and why the Tide could once again use preseason disrespect as motivation. And, of course, Jake and Mick debate what truly qualifies someone as a “redneck,” complete with stories about Jimbo Fisher, hunting, giant bucks and turkey heads.

As the old axiom goes, “all the world's a stage,” and Jason explains that the stage is filled with those requiring toxic empathy — whether it's Nick Saban following other notable college head football coaches in vouching for players committing crimes, WNBA thugs Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner crying foul because the WNBA can't control social media, or the CCC's (aka Caitlin Clark Cult) incessant whining. Charles Baker and Virgil Walker opine on Saban and college athletics before Jason concludes, noting that the Caitlin victimhood has transcended sports into the mainstream social media world.

Nick Saban once watched a man throw back every big fish he caught, keeping only the small ones. The reason stopped me cold: the guy only had a nine inch frying pan at home. In this episode, I use that story to challenge you to look honestly at the size of your own mental foundation, because your capacity to think, to believe, and to handle opportunity determines everything you keep and everything you release. The lesson here is not just about catching bigger fish. It is about becoming someone who can actually do something with them when they show up. Key Takeaways Your mental capacity, not your circumstances, determines which opportunities you keep and which you throw back. Limiting beliefs are often embedded early and run quietly in the background. Recognizing them is the first step to outgrowing them. The people closest to you can often see your blind spots better than you can. Asking them is not weakness. It is strategy. Stagnation is not always your fault, but staying stagnant is your responsibility to address. The clearest sign you need a bigger foundation is when what you are capable of only feeds you and nobody else around you. Action Steps Identify one area where you have been consistently rejecting or avoiding big opportunities and write down the belief that is driving that pattern. Reach out to one trusted person this week and specifically ask them: where do you see me thinking too small? Reframe your growth target by asking whether your current capacity can produce results that benefit not just you but the people depending on you. Notable Quote There are probably limitations you have simply because it has never crossed your mind that it could be better.

Topher Gardner is the founder of Black Gold Biochar, a regenerative builder, a lifelong bodyworker, and a former Division I football kicker who has actually walked the path most spiritual seekers only theorize about. He played at Michigan State under Nick Saban, spent three more years in pro leagues, and rebuilt the body football broke through Rolfing and yoga. That work took him to southern India, where he served as operations director of an ashram before the new age yoga world wore him out. He landed in Costa Rica, where for nearly two decades he built domes, taught regenerative agriculture, partook in fifty-plus ayahuasca journeys, studied true sidereal astrology with John Lamb Lash, and found the work that now anchors his life: biochar.The conversation moves the way Topher's mind moves, between cosmology and concrete, between Wilhelm Reich's writing on why we build idols just to slay them and the chemistry of why a 2,000-degree kiln in the Missouri Ozarks turns hardwood waste into the most stable carbon you can put in soil. We get into the suppressed Christ archetype hidden in Ophiuchus, why the distinction between self and other is the actual purpose of incarnation, what ten years inside the ayahuasca world taught him about variability over devotion, and why the carbon they trained us to fear is the same carbon our bodies and our land are starving for.

1. Jill Biden and President Joe Biden Jill Biden’s remarks about President Biden’s debate performance. She feared he may have been having a stroke, arguing that: Her actions afterward (campaign event, public praise, restaurant visit) contradict that concern. This suggests either exaggeration or dishonesty. Claims that President Biden experienced cognitive decline. Allegations that political leaders and media knowingly concealed this. Media organizations and Democratic officials were aware of Biden’s alleged condition. There was a coordinated effort to hide or minimize it. They frame this as an example of: Political power being prioritized over transparency. A broader credibility problem in U.S. politics. 2. U.S. Shipbuilding and National Security Key points: Heavy reliance on foreign-built ships is presented as a national security risk. A major funding initiative (~$24 billion) for the U.S. Coast Guard is described. Investment includes: New ships and helicopters Arctic icebreakers Shipyard construction (notably in Texas) Claimed benefits: Increased domestic manufacturing Job creation (thousands of jobs) Strategic competition with China and Russia in the Arctic The senator describes: Internal negotiations over where shipbuilding contracts would go (Texas vs. Louisiana). Involvement of the White House and President Trump (in this narrative timeline). Emphasis is placed on: Negotiation strategy Achieving a “win-win” outcome Expanding production beyond initial goals 3. College Sports Crisis and NIL Issues Problems identified: Escalating athlete compensation (tens of millions per team) Transfer portal instability Financial losses for universities Elimination of non-revenue sports (e.g., tennis, Olympic sports) Proposed solution: A bipartisan bill called the “Protect College Sports Act” Supporting arguments: College sports provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged students They promote social unity and personal development Includes testimony from Nick Saban highlighting unsustainable financial trends.

“The Film Guy” Brooks Austin joins The Next Round to break down two of the biggest conversations in college football: the hottest coaching seats in the country and who has the best QB room over the next four years? Brooks gives his full perspective on which college football coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season, including a deep dive on Florida State head coach Mike Norvell. Does Norvell have ANY chance to save his job at FSU, or has the situation in Tallahassee already reached the point of no return? The guys also discuss Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and the pressure to win now with, arguably, the most loaded roster in college football.

Nick Saban went to Capitol Hill to speak out about the future of college football, NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing concerns around the current state of college athletics. On this edition of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker react to Saban's testimony and discuss whether college sports has moved too far toward a pay-for-play model. Has NIL lost its original purpose? Has the transfer portal become unrestricted free agency? Should college football have salary caps, transfer limits, stronger regulations, and a return to more regional rivalries? Mick and Jake break down why Saban believes college athletics needs structure before the sport changes forever. The conversation also turns to the college baseball tournament, where Alabama, Auburn, and Troy are making noise in the postseason. The guys discuss the impact of St. John's upsetting Florida State, what it means for Alabama Baseball's path forward, and why the future of Olympic sports could be in danger if football's revenue model continues to shift.

What's in a logo? A lot. Especially for a league and its brand. Good thing the NBA didn't try to make "Showdown '82" a permanent "thing." Nick Saban and others testify on Capitol Hill to "save" college sports. Which sports, tho? And would an NCAA football and basketball "super league" really be so bad? How come ESPN is selling off big chunks of its CFB inventory? Chicago Mayor, ALE theory fan. Sports teams are throwing away perfectly good stadiums after 20 years. Blame the Braves. A true "Happy Gilmore" situation at a USGA qualifier.

Does the Big Ten have better football coaches than the SEC? We try to answer that question. SEC and Big Ten coaches ranked 1-34. Also, the Big Ten and the SEC do not support the Protect College Sports Act. This comes as former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban testifies in front of a Congressional Committee in support of the bill.

In this June Q&A episode, we open up the Verballer mailbag and start looking ahead to preview season with some early college football summer loves. Which teams are we already talking ourselves into before the magazines arrive? Which programs are interesting, dangerous, confusing or just fun enough to pique our interest as the 2026 season gets closer? We also dig into first-time College Football Playoff possibilities, the rising risk of major transfer portal investments, and whether Curt Cignetti’s championship run at Indiana was more impressive than anything Nick Saban or Kirby Smart ever did in a single season. Plus, we talk through what fans of rebuilding teams should actually look for in Year 1, why playoff expansion arguments still feel slippery, and which players or teams are perfect for showing off at a June cookout. And, naturally, the episode eventually drifts into Brendan Fraser playing Dwight Eisenhower in a D-Day weather drama, bad old predictions, Drake Lindsey discourse, Arkansas despair, and Dan’s ongoing effort to make Ty regret his phrasing.

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins the discussion as college athletics faces major changes with the proposed Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan effort from Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell aimed at reshaping the future of the NCAA, NIL, the transfer portal, athlete eligibility, and revenue sharing. In this episode, Jake Coker and the crew break down the biggest issues in college sports today: should athletes be limited to one transfer? Should college eligibility be capped at five years? Should former professional athletes be allowed to compete in college sports? And could revenue sharing and NIL changes put non-revenue sports like softball, baseball, and other spring sports at risk? Jake also shares his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback, explaining why he believes transfer restrictions could help athletes build accountability, handle adversity, and develop within a program. Plus, the guys celebrate a big week for Alabama athletics, including the Alabama softball team's dramatic postseason comeback win over UCLA and Alabama baseball's explosive playoff performance. The conversation also turns nostalgic as Jake Coker looks back on Alabama's dominant 38-10 win over Georgia in 2015, his playing career, a memorable trick play involving Kelvin Benjamin, and the lasting impact of elite coaches like Nick Saban and Kirby Smart on college football programs.

In this episode, we introduce a new game called “Bed or Built,” where we take some of college football’s most repeated narratives and decide whether it’s time to put them to bed or if they’re still built to last. With the 2026 season creeping closer, we sort through the stories that have followed programs, coaches and fan bases for years, and ask which ones still make sense in the current version of the sport. We dig into Mario Cristobal and Miami, Matt Rhule’s turnaround reputation, Lane Kiffin’s chaos factor, Ryan Day’s “born on third base” label, Texas A&M’s hard ceiling, Oregon’s late-season hurdle, Clemson’s attempts to adapt, James Franklin’s big-game baggage and the difficulty of following Nick Saban at Alabama. Along the way, we get into the transfer portal, coaching hires, College Football Playoff expectations, roster-building, fan perception and how quickly old narratives can become outdated.
