Oddsmakers have Nick Saban in the mix to be Vice President of the United States
When Nick Saban stepped away from coaching at Alabama there was a common joke that he would become the commissioner of the sport and save college football.
While a possible role as the college football commissioner could still happen, all we know about Saban's plans at this moment is that he will be an analyst for ESPN. We saw him provide some fantastic insight at SEC media days from the other side of the desk that we were used to seeing him at, but now there is momentum for him to embark on a new challenge.

With all of the ongoing changes in the political world of the United States, Kamala Harris is replacing President Joe Biden, who removed his name from consideration, as the Democratic nominee for the upcoming election. Now that she is in a new position, she will have to choose her own replacement as Vice President, and while many of the favorites are current politicians, there is one who stands out that isn't.
Former Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban was given 250-1 odds of being named as her V.P. according to BetOnline.Ag. Notable names like George Clooney (100-1) and Michelle Obama (28-1) had better odds, but he did have more favorable odds than Oprah Winfrey.
Whether or not he'd ever venture into politics is uncertain, but he would surely be running a tight ship.
