Tommy Tuberville reportedly is considering running for governor of Alabama.
And maybe the idea isn’t as far-fetched as some may think.
“Two words — Donald Trump,” Terry Lathan, the chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, told CBSSports.com. “See November 8.”
The next Alabama gubernatorial election will take place November 6, 2018.
Tuberville recently resigned as Cincinnati’s coach, and while he lacks political experience, numerous actors, athletes and other celebrities have won office seats at the state and national levels.
“I think Tommy would stand a slugger’s chance of getting elected,” said Steve French, a former political consultant in Alabama.
