Do you think Saban could win a statewide election as a Democrat?

I'd probably vote for him.

Yes

If he isn’t anti gun or in your face pro abortion maybe. Politics is dicey even for popular people. We all get softer with age so it’s possible if as long as he isn’t a whacko which he doesn’t seem to be but he does a good job keeping that stuff to himself. That being said, I’d vote for him.

No. First, there's historical precedent that Auburn fans would turn out en masse to vote against him. Second, Republicans/Democrats are probably the least likely in US history to vote for the opposite party.

No question

Not by way of my vote

I hate politics on sports forums, but I will answer.
If Saban ran against Tommy I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. I am a progressive and he’s a democrat in the same vein as Manchin. There’s no question.

We don’t need more septuagenarians and octogenarians in politics.

I don't consider myself a Republican but I lean to the right (populist right) on most issues. I think that he could win a state-wide position as long as he campaigned with Manchin or Fetterman style policies.
He's a good human and I would definitely listen to him make his case.

I don’t think Jesus could win a statewide election as a Democrat in Alabama.

I’m a libertarian but I’d vote for Saban as a democrat even if it was for president.

No one is winning a statewide race as a democrat right now.

Love the guy, but I’m not voting for very many Republican candidates these days and I dang sure ain’t voting for a Democrat

His principles of hard work and earning your own way don't line up with the dims we have now.

As a Dem? No

I hate to say it, but all the good he has done in the state, would be wiped out in a few months with negative ads against him. It would be awful.

I think he could but I would wager that Nick Saban would rather be in hell with his back broken than a cog in the halls of power in Montgomery or Washington.

Also, I think Saban is probably an old-school, working-class, smokestack industry trade union, strong on law and order and defense Democrat like his buddy Manchin. (Or Vince Lombardi for that matter.) You will struggle to find any of those anymore in Montgomery or Washington these days. He’d be the prototypical square peg in a round hole.

Os Saban old enough to get into politics? He’s only 71
