Dabo Swinney played under legendary Alabama head coach Gene Stallings back in the early 90's, so when it came time for someone to lend their voice to be a part of Clemson's latest motivational video, Dabo had the perfect guy in mind.
In the video, Stallings talks about the dash on one's gravestone, and how that dash represents the most important part of a person's life. Chances are good that you've heard the poem, but you haven't heard it from Stallings, so sit back and enjoy.
A few weeks back, Oregon also crossed the rare bridge that connects football and classic with Rudyard Kipling's If, which is also worth checking out.
Coaching #Legend Gene Stallings, who coached Dabo Swinney in college, still coaching us all today.
