Speculation immediately arose over who Harris would choose as vice president. Candidates who would run alongside Harris include Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro; Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear; and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.
BetOnline.ag proposed another name: the legendary Alabama Crimson Tide football coach.
The online sportsbook said there was a 250-1 chance that Saban would be nominated. Saban's odds are as high as Oprah Winfrey's. The bookmaker had lower odds for George Clooney (100-1) and Michelle Obama (28-1).
