Opposing coach lost his father a week ago. How he honored him in Clemson game
His father would’ve wanted it this way. He was sure of it. So despite all the tears, all the emotions, all the times he had to lean on his players and staff for hugs and prayers, Charleston Southern football’s Gade Giardina knew he had a job to do Saturday: Coach against Clemson , and give it his all.
