Summary
ESPN and SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum joins The Next Round live from SEC Media Days in Tampa to break down the biggest storylines in the Southeastern Conference. Finebaum reacts to Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer’s answer when asked whether his tenure in Tuscaloosa will ultimately be defined by winning a national championship. Paul—and many others—were not satisfied with DeBoer’s response, leading to a larger conversation about the pressure facing Alabama football and the championship expectations that come with replacing Nick Saban. We also discuss whether Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding won SEC Media Days, the early momentum surrounding the Rebels and whether Golding can sustain long-term success in Oxford. Plus, Finebaum shares his thoughts on the biggest winners, questions and storylines coming out of SEC Media Days. Can Kalen DeBoer meet Alabama’s national championship standard? Is Pete Golding building something sustainable at Ole Miss?
