Guvnernuh Tubbs

Assuming y'all are talking about Will Ainsworth, I'd definitely favor him over Tubs. Not that I have anything in particular against Tubs either.
The way I understand it is that they both have had their flings in their day.
What's sad is that we've probably only had about 5 years since Tubs was coach where our offense was any better than Tubershell. And most of those years were just because of having Cam/Nick at QB. Offense is hard. Need a QUARTABACK. GOTTA SKORE. @Docdumpsta
Different era. Tubs was a master of that era’s “meta”. Extremely underrated ball coach and probably a top 5 coach in his prime.
Edit: just now saw you said “since” Tubs. I would correct my comment, but I love Coach Tuberville too much. The point stands.
College coaches typically have a deal with their wives.
Suzanne still looks pretty good, tbh.
He knows he can't win if he challenges Tubs. He said Tubs would get Trump's endorsement making it impossible to beat him.
establishment has been wanting to get that junior Senator tag off of britt ever since she was elected. think you see her team politic hard for her as a veep candidate to vance. there is mutual interest there.
Hadn't thought about it in those terms. He's probably right....I still think it would be a closer vote than one might realize.
neither of them have a long tenure in the Senate. Britt is already on the appropriations committee and the rules committee, which are two powerful committees. not sure there will be much change when she becomes the senior senator. also not sure how that would factor into any future VP aspirations.
Maybe it’s just so he can bring the bbq bunch back together in Montgomery. Say hello to Lt Gov Hugh Nall
You mean the guy who coined the phrase LIVE TO PUNT wasn’t an offensive mastermind?
The hell you say
I agree, a title and a few formalities is a very strange reason to push out a sitting us senator to prop up another. just one event of a broader trend you'll see with britt's current backing. that was just an explanation given to me by a few people who work on dc staffs.
I know this is very subjective, but what in the world does that guy bring to the table that tubbs doesnt? Both are just going to take marching orders from above IMO. Tubbs wouldnt be there if he wasn’t a football coach, and Ainsworth wouldnt be if he hadn’t fell out of a rich ball sack
Alabama badly needs an Independent to run and get elected.
Hate to say it, but Saban is probably the only one capable of that…and even that isn’t a given
They’ll never support it. In fairness to tubbs and will, they’re playing the smart game. It’s just sickening the base continues to support it.
He's not getting pushed out of his seat.
ainsworth would bring a hell of a lot more to the table. for starters, he has 11 years of experience in AL state politics. Tubbs has....zero. your comments sound like general pessimism more than an informed opinion.
Not quite, I know a fair bit about the guy. If he’s had an original idea, I missed it. I remember when he first decided to run for the AL district 27 seat (my district btw)
to use a football analogy...will knows how the game is played in AL and he knows the players. tubs does not have any experience at the state level. i'm not saying he is the best possible candidate, just that i feel almost certain that he would be more effective than tubs.
Fair enough. I guess I’m just saying don’t expect anything to change with either one of them. Pick whoever opportunist you prefer.
Burner, just curious, are from the Sand Mountain area?
