I have no doubt Tubs will win by double digits. Despite his disappointing coaching performance here, he possessed a "likeability" when meeting with him one-on-one and was very good on the platform speaking about college football. I really expected him to end up a college football commentator on one of the major sports channels.

His policy positions align well with his constituency so his lead is no surprise. To condescend and suggest the voters in Alabama are ignorant ignores the political realities. In the same way, if a retired coach from say, USC, was running as a Democrat in CA on a progressive platform and possessed zero political experience, he too would coast to a double digit victory in that state.

Tuberville's policy positions? LOL.

Love the silly Both Sides take about some theoretical California politician. In any case, if that retired Southern Cal coach had just fleeced the University of Cincinnati and tanked its football program, yes, I imagine you guys would condescend a bit. Rightly so.

As for Tuberville's likeability, most conmen have it. Once they are exposed, though, their marks don't generally root them on as they run for the United States Senate.

He's not a total con man. You don't get a 13-0 football team in the SEC without a talented head coach who is working his ass off.

Like many who have been to the top of the mountain, he thought he could coast and succeed solely on his laurels on his way down the mountain. But that's different from being a con-man. In fact it's probably more common to rest easy than it is to keep the metal to the pedal. That's why guys like Phil Jackson, Belichek, Saban, Woody Hayes, Bear Bryant, Red Auerbach, John Wooden, Coach K, etc are so awe-inspiring.
