The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral | Episode 50: Aug. 1, 2023

Alabama football starts in just two days, does the Tide have an immediate problem to address?

Tuesday means just two more days until the Alabama Crimson Tide hits the practice field for the first time this season. Take a scroll through rolltide.com and see if anything unusual stands out. 

Can't figure it out? "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" points out a pressing problem for the Alabama football program that isn't, who will start at quarterback.

We talk about Jameson Williams struggling with the Detroit Lions, can the receiver prove himself as one of the leagues best playmakers after a rookie year marked by injury recovery?

Tampering stole the show today as we discussed the reported offer made to Taulia Tagovailoa and what it really means for the SEC. The host narrowed down the unnamed program to just two schools and discussed how it could become a problem going forward.

However, the biggest issue centers around Tagovailoa never entering the transfer portal. Why was this offer made? Shouldn't there be a punishment for tampering?

UAB Blazers head coach Trent Dilfer has been vocal about tampering since he took the job in Birmingham and has threatened to expose coaches for engaging in that practice.

The program contends that exposing these coaches may be uncomfortable but its the best way to police tampering going forward.
