- OL: Alabama has hired Louisville’s Noah Fisher as an assistant tight ends coach, a source tells @CBSSports .

- University of Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer officially announced the addition of Richard Football Owens to his coaching staff on Monday morning. "Richard Owens possesses a diverse skillset and knowledge for the game that he has grown over time as both a player and coach," said DeBoer.

- Top Betting/Intel Takeaways - Alabama (8.5 wins): Four acceptable losses is the ceiling for fan tolerance; eight wins and four losses could cost Kalen DeBoer his job despite him being a strong coach who'd be quickly hired elsewhere. The SEC is harder than pre-expansion due to Texas/Oklahoma additions and mandatory P4 non-conference games. - Offensive line and run game critical for Alabama: Ty Simpson struggled partly due to offensive line issues last year; new OL coach and improved run support essential to take pressure off first-year starter. - Florida (7.5 wins): Tom Fornelli sees the Gators as significantly overvalued; the schedule is favorable (Auburn, Old Miss on road; South Carolina, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt at home) but Aaron Philo and Buster Faulkner haven't played much and represent "a great unknown." - Florida's downside risk: Three-and-three start is possible; if QB battle doesn't resolve well, "we're back to square one." Auburn road game is critical; Danny Kanell warns Florida fans shouldn't assume easy wins despite talent.

- Alabama OL concern: almost no starting experience beyond Delgatty (Cal Poly); urges DeBoer to hire elite OL coach

- Alabama OL William Sanders says Tide RBs are a “set-apart group,” scary-talented with strength and speed.

- 10-11 wins regular season if OL and QB solidify; playoff berth needs injury luck.

- Player's 1.2M return deal unrelated to NIL valuation; research actual reasons for comeback.

- OL performance at A-Day insufficient to win week one; QB/RB behind that line like crossing NYC rush-hour traffic without crosswalk.

- OL scares me, especially LT and RT; last year was bad, need coaching improvement.

- Alabama OL has potential but limited proven production; how does it rank in SEC?

- Both teams' weak OL run blocking forced QBs to take excessive hits.

- QB/OL: It’s possible our RB last year was actually worse than Milroe as a Qb two years ago and that’s saying a LOT FROM ME

- OL should've been priority—one position Alabama couldn't afford weak at.

- Alabama overachieved with lacking O-line, RBs, receivers, DL production; finished 8th, won playoff game.

- Alabama OL/run game still dysfunctional after 3 seasons; 6 portal transfers added but starting 5 remains unclear after spring.

- Can't pick UGA with Gunner Stockton at QB; defense thinned by NIL, lost Bowers and strong OL.

- Summer enrollees move-in May 22-24: OT Doughty, WR Walker, DL Franklin, WR Sabb, OL Fretwell, DL Wilson TBD.

- NCAA likely exempting pregnancy, religious mission, military service from new eligibility rules; injury/illness exceptions expected legal battleground.

- QB/OL: Former Alabama OL Evan Mathis chatting up with Former Auburn QB Jason Campbell.
