Head Coach of Clemson Tigers is so Outspoken in His Faith He's the Target of This Anti-Christian Organization

Loyd McIntosh : Dec 23, 2015  The Gospel Herald

"I've never been bashful about telling people I'm a Christian. That's just who I am. That's my choice. It's a free country here. I can live my life the way I want to." -William Christopher "Dabo" Swinney

(Clemson, SC)—The second 2015 College Football Playoffs are less than two weeks away and with three out of the four teams making their debut in the still new playoff format, the head coaches have their work cut out for them... (Photo via Gospel Herald)

The number one team in the country is led by William Christopher "Dabo" Swinney, a 46-year-old native of Birmingham, Alabama, who assumed the position of head coach at Clemson in 2008 after then-head-coach Tommy Bowden was fired mid-season. Swinney was hired by Bowden as the wide-receivers coach in 2002 and developed a reputation as a top-notch recruiter.

A dedicated Christian, Swinney's faithful life has, no doubt, been important in his role as a recruiter over the years, helping nervous parents trust their sons to this man, possibly hundreds of miles away. "I've never been bashful about telling people I'm a Christian. That's just who I am. That's my choice," said Swinney in interview posted on the website Sports On Earth (sportsonearth.com). "It's a free country here. I can live my life the way I want to."

Swinney is well-known for his Christian faith. So well known, in fact, that the anti-Christian activist organization Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) filed a letter of complaint against Swinney in April 2014 to Clemson University, citing "constitutional concerns about how the public university's football program is entangled with religion."
