For those who thought Kalen DeBoer was on a hot seat, think again….

0:00At Raisin Cains, we hand batter every chicken finger, mix every cane sauce, butter every Texas toast, stir every slaw, and salt every froth. Because when you do it right, you can taste it in every bite. Raisin Cains Chicken Fingers, one love. It's going to be a little bit of a rainy weekend, but before the rain, it's going to be good weather to grill, and you can get your meat from the smokehouse. They have that party fact. I'll be at the Polish party plant. Yeah, $10 for $2 pounds. $10 for two pounds of. Oh, yeah. Brotwurst. They got it. It's been, they've been making meat since 1984 here in Lincoln smoke, making meats and brats. They've got beef sticks, beef jerky, smoked salmon,

1:04smoked turkey, smoked ham. They've won awards across the world. Check it out for yourself at super sabre and rusted market locations. That's the smokehouse. It's the way to your weekend grilling starts and ends there. Man, this sounds like borderline incredible. When you smell someone grilling Jake, it is. I was out walking sugar. Yeah, I was walking sugar and someone was out in the grilling and the wind was just right. And it doesn't matter what it is. Man, is that smell good? Yeah, it's unbelievable. Unbelievable. You just trust that person. You want to hang out with them? They're people. Brats probably smell the best. Oh, I think that probably the as far as the the aroma down the down the down the street. That's probably the best smell. It really is. It's better than a steak as far as a smell. That's no. Steaks pretty good smell. Brought his brother. That's my favorite. There's a lot of rumors about Katelyn to board, Alabama. And maybe not being the most popular guy there. Doing it in the impossible job of replacing Nick Sabin. Nobody could do. I mean, it's who wants the job of taking the job after

2:04saving retired and possible. But yesterday, he gets a seven year extension through the 20, 33 season annual salary of 12 and a half million per year, a raise of two million per year from when he was getting previously. So they're going all in on Katelyn to board, Alabama. I have no problem with that. So there's two things with it. One would be the question I would ask is what is the buyout? So sometimes the buyout doesn't change much, meaning they can get out of it. I mean, okay, he's got a contract. But if they, if they select those, so how much of it is truly guaranteed with it because he doesn't have a lot of bargaining power right now, you know how much I want to think of the board. But right now, he doesn't have a lot of bargaining power. Is there any sort of the, is it guaranteed or is there a still a buyout that they could let him go for whatever 20 million? I got this for you, Bill. This is from CBS Sports. If the board leaves Alabama, it comes with a buyout provision of 10 million in January, 2027, 8 million

3:06in January, 2028 and six mill in January, 2029. But that's if he leaves. Is that right? And if he fires to board, oh, I'm 90% of his contract with no duty to mitigate. This is from. Oh, wow. So that's a killer contract. 90% of it. No mitigation. Do people understand that? That means that if he leaves, he leaves. He gets fired. And then he goes coaches at Arizona that he gets full money. Most places are, if you get hired someplace else, then they're going to pay your salary. You're you're out of the deal. So no mitigation. He just got his agent. Wow. Wow. What a deal. It'd be interesting to talk to someone from Alabama. The fan base. The like, what the greater show. So here's what I think happens, Jake. Yeah. You sit around. It's almost like the quarterback conversation sometimes. It's like, okay, what are we going to do? Who's better? So they're probably like, okay, sit around with the AD and the board of regions. Okay. Debora's been okay. Heart. He's been in the plays in the playoffs last year.

4:10Yes. You won a first round game in the playoffs. Then got boat raised by Indiana. They got crushed by Indiana. But so the next question is going to be that you go, okay. So let's just say you want to get rid of them. Who are you hiring? That's what I would say if I'm the AD and talk to the regions and everybody. Okay. You want to get rid of them? Maybe next year if that say goes nine and three, you want to get rid of them? Who you want to hire? Who is it? And they're like, well, there could be, and then some of them will say stupid stuff. They'll say stuff of like sometimes like going, we'll get Ryan Day. Ryan Day is not leaving. We're going to get Dan landing back here. And it's like, well, is landing leaving Oregon? He says everything he says is he's not leaving. So then also you go, we're going to get, and also what they're seeing this what tells me screams popular. I mean, screams, a great thing for Alabama fans is that on the inside, they're going, watch this guy. He's a dude. Watch him work. Look how he handles his team. Look what he does. Yeah, there's been a couple. Can you imagine that the, that the heat, I mean, that coach Osmond went through for about six, was it six years? He didn't beat Oklahoma. Yeah.

5:13I mean, he guys getting crushed. Been easy to do what? You know what? Just can't win the big one. We're out making a move, going in different direction. But guess who didn't? He was on hot seat. He was winning all those games. He's on hot seat. Guess who said that to not even mess with him? Bob Devaney. Don't don't even let him be. Let trust it. Let Tom be because I'm seeing from the inside of what's going on. So the people inside the building are watching to bore work. And he's getting rave reviews from his, from the strength staff, which is his staff. I know nutrition. So every place is going like, so what's your take on to bore? So like, we love him. He's unbelievable. He's organized. He does this. And he's won every place he's been. And it's not been horrific. They were in the playoffs. They want to play off game. So if that's a hard time, we're going, man, we got to change everything. And everyone. And also I would imagine that the AD slash regents and everyone involves us. Hey, we are not top of the list. Money wise. We're not Texas A&M money. We don't have the same money that an Oregon has. That's been well noted that Alabama does not have

6:15that same. There's one billionaire in Alabama. He's an Auburn fan. So this puts debor now tied for fourth in terms of highest annual salaries. Signati as he should be number one 13.2 million Indiana Kirby smart and Lane Kiffin both at 13 million a piece and then 12 and a half million Kaelin debor and Ryan Day debor 28 since he took over at Alabama for Nick Sabin. Jeff Brahms also gets extension at Louisville eight years 64 million dollars for him. We love Jeff Brahms. Yeah. I'm a big fan of Jeff Brahms. I think Brahms also was kind of okay. I don't know how old Jeff is. But 50s right now. What is the age on on on Brahms? I'd like to know what they what is age is like 55. It might be might be even upper 50s. I'm not sure. But point being he's 55. 55. You know, it turns actually 55 years old today. How about that? We know Brahms birthday. I'm going to text him. You should. I'm going to text that I can't birthday Jeff today. Oh god. That is awesome. So he's probably sitting going like

7:17do I really want to up and leave here at age 55 56 and go someplace new? I'm from Louisville. You know what? And then guess what? Everyone knows this. Can Louisville win a national championship? Yes. Sure. Indiana just won one. So everybody. So he's like going like, you know what? I might be able to get it done right from here or whether am I going to get this other job that comes up. I really thought he would be if we didn't work out with Woody and him that he would have been the guy at Michigan. I thought he would be the guy. But great job. But now I will say this with with DeBore. Is it surprising? I was surprised when I read it. I was too. I was like, oh wow. That's interesting. A raised extension for him. Yeah. It shows Kyle. It shows the other right guy shows from the inside. They got the right guy. Well, we come back 18 gracefully and song of the day next on Early Break in the Ticket.
