- Trump bid to stop vote counting ‘outrageous’ – Biden
Tuberville, who has been out of coaching since 2016, has said he was inspired to enter politics by Donald Trump’s 2016 election.
He guided Auburn to an 85-40 record from 1999-2008, including an undefeated season (13-0) in 2004 when the Tigers were denied a berth in the BCS National Championship Game after finishing third in the BCS rankings.
Tuberville also coached at Ole Miss (1995-98), Texas Tech (2010-12) and Cincinnati (2013-16), finishing with an overall record of 159-99 and 13 bowl appearances.
