Swinney recipient of Gene Stallings Award

Clemson head football Coach Dabo Swinney received the 2015 Gene Stallings Award Tuesday night at a banquet in Dallas, Tex.  The award was presented to Swinney by his former offensive coordinator, Chad Morris, now the head football coach at SMU.

The Stallings Award was created to honor college football head coaches who are also humanitarians and strive to promote healthy, vibrant communities through charitable and community service efforts.

“I am Incredibly honored to receive the Stallings Award,” said Swinney.  “Coach Stallings was my mentor for seven great years.  The lessons I learned from him and the example he was to me as a father, husband and as a giver to the community definitely shaped me as a young man.
