Nick Saban has zero interest in a career in politics, praises Tommy Tuberville

Although the ability to coach a football team and being a politician requires a few of the same characteristics, you don’t often see the two career paths intersect.

But on Tuesday, former Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville successfully defeated Doug Jones in the Alabama senate race.

With Tuberville finding his way into politics after a career in football it raised the question to current Alabama head coach Nick Saban as to whether he would have any interest in pursuing a political career following his tenure with the Crimson Tide.

Saban gave a definitive answer during his Wednesday teleconference.
