Summary

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. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #KalenDeBoer #NateOats #TySimpson #NFLDraft #SECFootball #collegefootball #alabamacrimsontide #nfl #nflnews SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive 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 Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.
