The Tuesday practice that changed Dabo Swinney's life

That Tuesday in 1990 was just like any other Tuesday for Dabo Swinney during football season. A scout team wide receiver on the Alabama football team, Swinney was in the process of getting beat up and beat on when a member of the staff said the words that changed his life: Coach wants to see you.

On a recent episode of ChumChat with Tanner Tessmann (and given to TigerNet), Swinney went in-depth on how he got into coaching and his early years at Clemson but reminded everyone that it started on that fateful Tuesday in Tuscaloosa.
