Alabama football offense beats to drum of a Canadian heart

Straight Outta Welland became a popular parody movie T-shirt when the Hollywood production of Straight Outta Compton was released. The shirt refers to Welland, Ontario, Canada, and people from that area wear that fact like a badge of honor. Not because of how wonderful the city is but because of how tough and rugged people are who come from there.

Alabama football’s offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is one of those people. Daboll may have went to high school and played football in Athol Springs, N.Y., but he was born in Welland in 1975 and was raised there during his childhood.
