Hall of Fame former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs made a late-scheduled appearance on Thursday night, making the convention’s most explicit references to faith, by far.
But Gibbs called in a late play when he abandoned his prepared text, which also dealt with faith, and instead ad-libbed a more personal explanation of why he thinks it important to follow “God’s playbook.”
“Falling away from God’s will leads to disaster,” Gibbs said.
The coach and NASCAR team owner didn’t explicitly tie his religious message to the current campaign.
