Yes, the following is from the NFL website.  From the article, an unnamed head coach candidate draws parallels between the recent hiring of untested head coaches to the race between Obama and Killary.

"No experience necessary"

(skipping...)

"To me, the whole run on these head coaches this year is a little like Barack Obama's candidacy,'' the coach said. "The experience factor may be light, but these guys who don't even have any coordinating experience, they're squeaky clean. They don't have any negatives that you can attack. The interesting thing is that their lack of a track record is actually seen as a positive.

"I can't help but think that if a guy is that clean, he sells better. If you have no blemishes, you can mold them and spin them to your fans and the media any way you want. Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq War because she was in the Senate at the time, and if she hadn't, she probably would have been labeled a traitor. But it's still being held against her, while Obama didn't have to cast a vote, so he can say he was against the war from the very start.''

"But it's still being held against her, while Obama didn't have to cast a vote, so he can say he was against the war from the very start.''

Except he came out against it while in the Illinois Senate and as a U.S. Senate candidate.  He has gone on record as being "against the war from the very start."

Other than that I can appreciate the analogy.
