Podcast appearances and mentions of Ryan Brown

Connor O'Gara and Jim Dunaway are back for Episode 10 of The Connor O'Gara Show, diving into the biggest debates surrounding how we watch — and remember — college football. ESPN is getting rid of its traditional Bottom Line ticker during college football broadcasts. Is that a welcome change, or will fans miss having scores constantly scrolling across the screen? Connor and Jim discuss the rise of YouTube TV's Quad Box, second screens and the reality that most college football fans are watching Saturdays much differently than they did a decade ago. They also debate whether Week Zero is being wasted. Should college football use the opening weekend to showcase marquee matchups and create a massive television event instead of treating it like a soft launch to the season? Then the conversation turns to ESPN's upcoming six-part Nick Saban documentary. Jim, who spent years hosting Saban's weekly show, shares insight into Saban's approach to player psychology and why the series could reveal a fascinating side of the legendary Alabama coach. Plus, which college football stories deserve their own documentary? The guys make the case for an uncensored look at Cam Newton, Auburn and the chaos surrounding the 2010 national championship season, along with the unbelievable rise and fall surrounding Ed Orgeron and LSU's historic 2019 championship team. Topics include: • ESPN eliminating the Bottom Line ticker • YouTube TV Quad Box and multi-screen football Saturdays • How college football viewing habits have changed • Why Week Zero needs bigger games • Nick Saban's upcoming ESPN documentary • Jim Dunaway's experiences covering Nick Saban • Cam Newton and Auburn's controversial 2010 season • Ed Orgeron and LSU's legendary 2019 championship run If you love college football, SEC football, Alabama, Auburn, LSU and the stories behind the sport, hit the like button, subscribe and join us for more episodes of The Connor O'Gara Show.

We also rank the five worst Power Conference teams entering the 2026 college football season and dive into the growing battle between LSU and the SEC over former professional players returning to college football. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is now publicly pushing back against the SEC as LSU and head coach Lane Kiffin attempt to add former Ole Miss players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who were granted another season of eligibility by a Louisiana court despite previously signing professional contracts. Is LSU exploiting a loophole, or is the SEC fighting a battle it can't win in the new era of college sports?

Alabama Football general manager Courtney Morgan is pushing back on the narrative that the Crimson Tide can't—or won't—spend big money on its roster. “We are very cautious and risk averse,” Morgan said while making it clear: Alabama isn't broke. We break down what Morgan's comments reveal about Alabama's approach to NIL, roster construction and player evaluation under Kalen DeBoer. Has Alabama found a more sustainable strategy by investing in players like Keelon Russell, Lotzeir Brooks, Michael Carroll, Dijon Lee and Luke Metz rather than simply trying to outbid everyone in college football? Plus, there's a significant roster development at Auburn. Wide receiver Erick Smith is no longer with the Tigers, leaving Alex Golesh with additional questions about his WR depth just before the 2026 season. Could sophomore Sam Turner emerge as Auburn's surprise seventh receiver?

Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback and national champion Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for a deep dive into the latest Alabama Football storylines, led by Kalen DeBoer officially naming Keelon Russell the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback. Coker gives a former QB's perspective on what happens behind the scenes when a coach names his starter, sharing stories from his own private conversations with Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher. He also explains why Austin Mack still has to prepare like Alabama's starter every single week — because a backup quarterback is always just one play away. The guys also break down Alabama's projected offensive line, why continuity and chemistry up front are so important for pass protection, the latest Crimson Tide injury updates, and the competitive kicking battle between Graham Nicholson and Conor Talty. Plus, Jake and Mick discuss the changing landscape of NCAA eligibility and roster rules, including the possibility of players with NFL experience returning to college football. And it wouldn't be a conversation with Jake Coker without getting off the football field. The guys get into Charles Barkley and Larry Bird stories, Dwight Yoakam, Billy Bob Thornton, the legendary Kenny Chesney Flora-Bama concert, golf, smoking brisket and why Jake would rather spend a weekend with his family than five hours on the golf course.

The Alabama Crimson Tide have their starting quarterback — and it's Keelon Russell. The former five-star recruit beat out senior Austin Mack during fall camp and will take over an Alabama offense that lost Ty Simpson to the NFL Draft. Russell arrived in Tuscaloosa as ESPN's No. 2 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class and flashed his potential during Alabama's A-Day game with 240 passing yards and four touchdowns. What should Alabama fans expect from Russell as QB1? What former Crimson Tide quarterback does his game remind us of? And how high is the ceiling for Kalen DeBoer's Alabama offense with Russell behind center? We also dive into several huge stories around the SEC:

Jim Dunaway joins Connor O'Gara for Episode 9 of The Connor O'Gara Show for a wide-ranging college football conversation covering the Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback battle, SEC coaching hot seats, Kalen DeBoer, Keelon Russell, Austin Mack, Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning and much more. Connor and Jim break down the fascinating QB competition at Alabama and why Austin Mack's relationship with Kalen DeBoer shouldn't be overlooked. But Connor is buying the upside of Keelon Russell, predicting the talented young quarterback could become the SEC Freshman of the Year. If Russell reaches his ceiling, could Alabama go from an overlooked preseason team to a legitimate College Football Playoff and national championship contender? They also set the over/under at 1.5 SEC head coaches fired in 2026. Jim takes the under, but could Shane Beamer find himself under pressure? And what happens at Texas if Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning and the Longhorns stumble against a brutal schedule? Connor and Jim discuss how NIL and revenue sharing have changed the economics of firing coaches, with programs increasingly forced to decide whether their money is better spent on a massive buyout or building a better roster. Plus, the guys get into: • Jim's upcoming ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and why the cause has become personal for Connor • Memories from SEC Media Days and the early days of Saturday Down South and The Next Round • Why Jim has so much respect for Austin Mack • Whether grown men should still wear sports jerseys • Connor's hilariously random Honey Baked Ham football helmet • Why displaying SEC memorabilia immediately leads to accusations of media bias • The Next Round's upcoming Alabama coverage • The SEC's rules surrounding late-calendar transfers • And plenty of college football stories, laughs and behind-the-scenes conversation If you love SEC football, Alabama football, college football analysis and candid conversations about the sport, make sure to like the video, subscribe and turn on notifications for more episodes of The Connor O'Gara Show. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #KeelonRussell #AustinMack #KalenDeBoer #SECfootball #CollegeFootball #CrimsonTide #JimDunaway #ConnorOGara #TheConnorOGaraShow #CFP #ArchManning #TexasFootball #TheNextRound SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - youtube.com/@NextRoundLive @TNRClips - youtube.com/@TNRClips FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Brooks Carter: /BrooksACarter Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com

Former Alabama Crimson Tide national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on another episode of Last Call to break down the biggest storylines coming out of Alabama Football fall camp — including the battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, injuries in the Crimson Tide running back room, emerging playmakers and much more. Who has the edge in the Alabama quarterback competition? Coker and Gillispie discuss what Keelon Russell's ability to create outside the pocket could mean in his battle with Austin Mack, while also looking at the competition and chemistry developing along the Alabama offensive line. The guys also dive into the Crimson Tide's running back depth, the impact of AK Dear's injury, and the players getting opportunities to step up. Plus, they discuss the development of Ryan Williams and Daniel Hill as Alabama searches for its next wave of offensive playmakers. Coker also shares some incredible memories of Derrick Henry's legendary work ethic at Alabama, including the kind of weight-room dedication that helped turn Henry into one of the most physically dominant running backs in college football and the NFL. Then the conversation shifts to Baton Rouge and the growing controversy involving Jayden Daniels and LSU's No. 5 jersey. Coker explains why he believes the program should always be bigger than one individual player and compares the situation to his own experience wearing No. 14 at Alabama, a number previously worn by Crimson Tide names including Don Hutson, Steve Sloan, Tyler Watts and John Parker Wilson.

Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning joins The Next Round for an in-depth conversation about Oregon's national championship expectations, life in the Big Ten, roster retention, recruiting and the culture he has built in Eugene. Lanning explains why he wants Oregon to be a player-led program, how the Ducks handle massive preseason expectations and why outside predictions about the College Football Playoff and national championship race don't matter inside the building. He also discusses Oregon's move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, the recruiting opportunities that come with playing coast-to-coast and why the Ducks have been so successful keeping key players out of the transfer portal. ESPN's Ian Fitzsimmons also joins Ryan Brown and Lance Taylor for a wide-ranging college football and NFL conversation, including:

The Alabama quarterback battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack is heating up after the Crimson Tide's first fall camp scrimmage — and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker knows exactly what it's like to fight for the starting job in Tuscaloosa. On this episode of Last Call on The Next Round, Coker joins Mick Gillispie to break down Alabama Football's biggest storylines coming out of the scrimmage, including the Russell vs. Mack QB competition, injuries in the running back room and the position battles that could shape Kalen DeBoer's offense in 2026. Coker explains what quarterbacks go through mentally during a heated competition and why blocking out fan expectations and outside noise is crucial. The guys also discuss whether Keelon Russell's playmaking ability and athleticism could ultimately give him the edge over Austin Mack — and what Alabama's coaches will be looking for before naming a starter. The conversation also turns to a suddenly banged-up Alabama backfield. AK Dear's injury adds another question mark, while freshman EJ Crowell has also missed time. That makes veteran Daniel Hill even more important as Alabama tries to reestablish the physical running game that has traditionally defined Crimson Tide football. Plus, Jake and Mick discuss: • Keelon Russell vs. Austin Mack after Alabama's first scrimmage • What Jake Coker learned from QB battles at Florida State and Alabama • Why scrimmages feel completely different from actual games • Whether Russell's upside could win him the starting job • The latest concerns surrounding AK Dear and EJ Crowell • Daniel Hill's transformation into a throwback Alabama power back • Freshman Trae'shawn Brown making noise in the backfield • Alabama's battle at right guard • Who can emerge as another weapon alongside Ryan Williams and Lotzeir Brooks • Why fixing Alabama's running game could be critical in 2026 Can Keelon Russell beat out Austin Mack for QB1, or will Mack's experience in Kalen DeBoer's system win out?
