Tommy Tuberville, who used to be a college football coach has now won election in the US to become a senate member.
He won against Democratic candidate Doug Jones in Alabama despite being a greenhorn in politics.
The 65-year-old quit being a football coach in 2016 and disclosed he was inspired to join politics after Donald Trump’s 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.
