Patrick Mahomes debunks Trump’s claim that Senator Tommy Tuberville coached and recruited him

‘I don't remember if I ever got to meet him or not,’ says Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. During the president’s executive order signing on Wednesday, Trump praised Tuberville, claiming that he had both coached and recruited Mahomes while he was at Texas Tech University. “Tommy Tuberville, a great coach,” said Trump, who’s attending the Super Bowl Sunday in New Orleans between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. “You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes. He was a great college coach.”.
Trump said he asked Tuberville, referring to Mahomes: ”How good was he?” The president said Tuberville responded: “You don’t want to know how good … he made me into a great coach.”. Trump added: “He’s a pretty good quarterback, right? Yeah, he was very good, and he’s a good guy too.”. Many were quick to point out on X that Mahomes and Tuberville never even worked together. Tuberville coached from 2010 to 2012 while Mahomes played football at the school from 2014 to 2016.
“Donald Trump said that Senator Tommy Tuberville coached Patrick Mahomes. Tommy Tubesocks left Texas Tech in 2012, two years before Mahomes arrived,” one post read. “Patrick Mahomes was one of the best players I ever had the opportunity to recruit and get to know. Looking forward to cheering him on this weekend when I join President Trump at the Super Bowl,” he added. Mahomes commented in a press conference about Trump’s attendance, telling reporters: “It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president – someone that is at the top position in our country.”.
Mahomes was also asked about Trump’s previous comments when he called the Chiefs quarterback “a good winner.”. “I don’t want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner,” Trump said when asked what team he would be rooting for. Mahome said: “It’s cool to hear that he's seen me play football and respects the game that I play.”. Trump also congratulated Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, on the birth of their third child, one month after the two of them shared the news.
