“Wake Up! You need to make money!” That 21 Pilots lyric comes from the song “Stressed Out”. We all do it. We feel that stress of waking up and going out to provide for our family. I know it is never easy for anyone, including CFB Coaches. Dabo Swinney has had a less stressful time than most in recent years. Think about how many Coordinators and Assistant Coaches Nick Saban loses almost every year. He replaced 10 assistants one year and won The National Championship. Dabo has had Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables, Offensive Coordinator Tony Elliott and AD Dan Radakovich by his side since 2012. A decade of stability at a program that won multiple National Championships. Now in one offseason, Venables is off to Oklahoma to be Head Coach. It looks like Elliott is on his way to Virginia to be Head Coach. And it looks like Radakovich is going to Miami to be their new Athletic Director. Stressed Out? That is not the way Dabo lives. His Faith is strong. But like Nick Saban and other coaches who get caught in the Coaching Carousel every year…it is time for Dabo to Wake Up, and make some money with a cast of New Pilots.
