Pretty surprised they handed the reigns right to his son without interviewing (allegedly) a single other human being. I guess they 1) like him quite a bit and 2) are convinced their NIL is enough to get recruits

Might backfire if Bruce does try to run for Senator and he starts going full MAGA to get elected.

Evidently nepotism is still alive and well. It’s not any different then what Rob Smith did here or Frank.

It's the worst nightmare for a significant number of Alabamians (is that the term they use?): vote for a former Auburn coach, or a Democrat

I see it as a win-win for Alabamians.
