Kamala Harris’s running mate in the United States presidential race Tim Walz, as you may know, was a successful high school football coach.
And Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville — who literally refers to himself as “coach” on his senate site — was known for being a successful coach all over college football, from Ole Miss to Auburn to Texas Tech to Cincinnati.
But given each of their politics, the two probably don’t see eye to eye on a lot. And Walz decided to deliver a burn of Tuberville while fundraising for his campaign with Harris, calling himself the “anti-Tommy Tuberville, to show that football coaches are not the dumbest people.”
Cody Sargent, a former press secretary for Tuberville fired back:
Tim Walz at Boston fundraiser tonight, per pool:
“I feel like one of my roles in this now is to be the anti-Tommy Tuberville, to show that football coaches are not the dumbest people.”

You’re a former high school *assistant* coach now overseeing a massive decline in student performance as governor.
Senator Tuberville is a 5x national Coach of the Year and 7x conference champion.
So, no, @Tim_Walz, you’re no Coach Tuberville. https://t.co/cq2uFAYUnd
