Bernie Sanders is the football coach who is retiring after 20 years at the helm, won a couple conference championships, made a handful of bowl games, wildly popular with fans of all ages who didn't want to see the old ball coach go off into the sunset.
Joe Biden is the former associate AD for external affairs at a Power 5 school who landed a big sponsorship at his old school and his new school struggles to sell tickets, basically unknown in its mid-major town.
