Tommy Tuberville's recent dabble in politics was not his first, and may not be his last.

The former Auburn football coach told AL.com last week he "would have won" if he ran for Governor of Alabama in 2018. He ultimately decided not to run after Kay Ivey took over for former governor Robert Bentley, who resigned amid a sex scandal.

"Politics is something that I'm not really fired up about, but I am an American and I believe in the city, the county that you live in, the entire country," Tuberville said. "I've got a lot of patriotic blood in me, being raised by a military person. If I can help do something and make things better for other people, sure, I'd look into it. But right now I'm a Kay Ivey supporter and looking forward to that."

Tuberville said he considered running for governor nine years ago when he resigned on the Plains.

"I actually thought about running for governor back in 2008 when I left Auburn," he said. "I was approached by several people. Bob Riley was going out as governor. He was a friend. I thought about it at that time and said 'You know, I'm not really finished with coaching."

After leaving Auburn, Tuberville coached Texas Tech from 2010-2012 and Cincinnati from 2013-2016. See what else he had to say in the video above and stay tuned to AL.com for more from his interview.
