As head coach of the Crimson Tide, Nick Saban is familiar with recruiting pitches.

On Wednesday, as reports circulated the University of Alabama coaching legend is retiring, Saban found himself on the other side of those pitches — as a possible candidate for office.

The Alabama Democratic Party on Wednesday hinted it would be open to Saban running for U.S. Senate under its banner.

“Nick Saban for US Senate. Save us from Tommy Tuberville one more time,” tweeted Alabama Political Reporter columnist Josh Moon.

The Alabama Democratic Party retweeted Moon’s tweet, adding “We officially second this.”

Throughout his coaching career, Saban has largely stayed out of politics.

However, the West Virginia native is childhood friends with Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and endorsed Manchin’s 2018 re-election campaign.

If Saban did want to run for Senate as a Democrat, he would be up against Tuberville, another former coach whose stop at Auburn briefly overlapped with Saban’s tenure with the Tide.

In 2007, the coaches squared off against each other in the Iron Bowl.
