Every High school coach in the state of Alabama should hear what Dabo Swinney is saying; "RIGHT is RIGHT EVEN WHEN NOBODY IS DOING IT: WRONG IS WRONG WHEN EVERYBODY IS DOING IT." That is INTEGRITY!! We have a segment of coaches in our state who really need to hear this!!

“I wanna challenge all those coaches that have reached out to me. You need to step up and call it out. Otherwise…shut your mouth and don’t complain again.”
Dabo Swinney is challenging other HCs to step up and speak out publicly on tampering:

Winning? But Christ.
Losing? But Christ.
Getting what you want? But Christ.
Not getting what everyone else has? But Christ.
We are nothing without Him.
We are saved by grace through nothing except Him.

The same coaches people talk crazy about.
Pick up and drop kids off with cars in the yard.
Feed these kids.
Check their grades and talk to teachers.
Hug them when things are bad at home.
Work weekends trying to make your kids successful.
Miss their own kids events.
Are responsible for being in class teaching kids with little to no home training.
Send film to college coaches even though the kid is average.
They LOVE your kids win or lose.

Parents:
Let your kids control their sports journey.
Stop yelling at them.
Stop coaching from the stands.
Stop making them watch tape with you.
Let their coaches coach, and you be mom or dad. You aren’t going to change their destiny by what you say.

"If you don't want problems, don't recruit them.
I don't recruit entitlement kids.
There is no way that I recruit a kid unless I know that he will buy into the way we do things."
Great teams don’t have passengers.
This isn’t a ride, it’s a responsibility.
Interesting couple of names floating around Birmingham ( During State BSK Tourney) for TR Miller Football job. In my mind one of Top FB jobs in Alabama. Hopefully someone in place for Spring.

You’re never too old for a catch with your dad ❤️🏈
After @FHSPirateFball alum @rileyleonard13_ wrapped up @seniorbowl practices, his father Chad got to hit the turf and toss the pigskin just like they used to in the backyard. #ALHSFB
