From the Gridiron to the Governor’s Office: Former SEC Coach’s Surprising Political Play Unveiled
It seems Tommy Tuberville isn’t the only former SEC football coach running for elected office. On Monday, ex-Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley announced his bid for the U.S. Senate, launching his campaign in his native state of Georgia against incumbent Jon Ossoff.
The Athens-born 57-year-old and son of former Bulldogs HC, Vince Dooley, is aiming to represent the Republican Party on Capitol Hill with his mantra of “Georgia First”.
“I’m running because our state needs leadership in Washington D.C., and professional politicians like Jon Ossoff are the problem,” Dooley said in a statement. “Leadership matters. Our state doesn’t have a voice in the U.S. Senate who reflects Georgia values because Ossoff is more concerned with protecting his own political future, opposing everything the Trump administration is working to accomplish, and repeatedly voting with the radical left.”
