WATCH: Swinney responds to Las Vegas shootings with passionate 'Create change' speech |
Become a change agent. That was the message to his players in the wake of the horrific shootings in Las Vegas.
“We're constantly - and it never ends - using the game of football to build great men that are graduates, that can think on their own feet, that can stand on their own feet, that are empowered to go out in this world,” Swinney said. “One of these days, we can look up - five years or 10 years - and we can look up and say, 'Man.' I always tell them don't leave that here. What the world wants, we've got it, so take it with you. Take it into your communities. Take it into your churches. Take it into your businesses. Take it into your new locker rooms that you're going to. Take that with you and be a change agent, man. Create change. Maybe we look up down the road and we've got a governor, a president, a senator, CEOs, all of these things. Hopefully, through the little role we have here in Clemson, South Carolina, we can help bring some of what we have here and what I know we have here out into the world. I really believe that's how you change things on the outside is what you do on the inside. Everything is about what's on the inside.”
