AL-SEN: ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum (R) mulls Alabama Senate campaign [View all]
ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum said he is considering leaving the sports network to run for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.).
In an interview with OutKick, a conservative sports outlet, Finebaum said he was mulling a campaign after “one or two people in Washington” reached out to gauge his interest in running for office.
Finebaum is a household name in Alabama, where he spent roughly three decades covering college sports in print and broadcast. His radio show was a fixture of Alabama sports coverage, especially during the heyday of the University of Alabama’s college football dynasty and intense rivalry with Auburn University.
Tuberville, the head coach at Auburn from 1999 to 2008, announced earlier this year he would not run for another Senate term and will instead run for governor. His departure has set off a scramble to find another popular Republican candidate in what should still be a safe GOP seat.
