In this subscriber special (join us!), Alabama beat writer Matt Stahl of AL.com joins Alex to talk about exactly how bad things are right now in Tuscaloosa. Coming off a 14-point loss to FSU, we had a lot of questions, like:

* How seriously is the Alabama beat taking the possibility of a coach firing?

* What about Kalen DeBoer’s management of the program has been so wrong?

* Did Bama do anything to make this worse for itself from a PR perspective?

* Was some of this slipping before Nick Saban rolled out of town?

* Assuming things don’t get REALLY bad and Bama doesn’t want to pay $60 million, what intermediate changes could be made?

* How is the NIL situation at the moment?

* Just how low is DeBoer’s approval rating after five losses in 10 games?

Thanks to Matt for joining us. Find him on Bluesky.
