    Alluding to Tuberville’s past as the football coach at Auburn University, spokesman Steven Stafford said in an email: “Coach just wants the maps to be fair and for all Alabamians to be represented well. He trusts Alabama’s state legislators to get this right.”

    Does it seem weird to anyone else that the dude is an actual US Senator, and his staff still refer to him as “Coach”?
