Are we in the middle of Danny Ford part 2 and don't know it?

Everyone always talks about the HOF coaches Danny Ford beat in bowl games. Well don't look now but Dabo has beat two national championship coaches in a row in bowl games.

Interesting perspective.

Despite the string of losses to USuCk, we are on a good run. One not seen since the 80's. Hope we continue to get better.

Danny Ford Era: 1978?1989: On November 21, 1982, the football program was placed on probation for a 2-year period to include the 1983 and 1984 seasons. This sanction was enforced on the program by the NCAA Committee on Infractions due to a lengthy history of recruiting violations to gain an athletic advantage that had taken place from 1977 through the Tigers' 1981 National Championship season and into 1982, under the administration of two head coaches, Charlie Pell and Danny Ford. Over 150 documented violations were found to have been committed under NCAA bylaws in the categories of improper recruiting inducements, extra benefits to student-athletes, ethical conduct, improper financial aid, improper campus visits, improper transportation and entertainment, improper use of funds, improper employment, improper recruiting contact, and distribution of cash to players by members of the coaching staff.[1] As a result of these violations, Clemson was publicly reprimanded and censured by the NCAA. The football team was barred from participating in bowl games following the 1982 and 1983 seasons, and barred from appearing on live television in the 1983 and 1984 seasons. Also, the number of scholarships that the university could allocate to football players was restricted to 20 (from the normal limit of 30) for the 1983-84 and 1984-85 academic years. Charles Alan Wright, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions said at the time, "Due to the large number and serious nature of the violations in this case, the committee believed that institutional sanctions related to appearances on television and in postseason football bowl games were appropriate. In addition, because the violations indicated a pattern of improper recruiting activities, the committee determined that a two-year limitation on financial aid to new recruits should be imposed to offset any recruiting advantage that was gained improperly by the university."[2][3] Just five years after their probation ended, Clemson once again found their football program accused of multiple recruiting violations in January 1990.[4] The NCAA accused Clemson of giving cash to players and having illegal contact with recruits over a period from 1984 to 1988. In June 1990, the Tigers found themselves on probation once again, for the second time in less than a decade.[5] This chain of events contributed, in part, to the forced resignation of popular head coach Danny Ford.[6] After a few years away from coaching, Ford was hired by the Arkansas in 1992, where he would spend five seasons guiding the Razorbacks.

The lions share of the violations were under Pell's watch

and there is absolutely nothing to suggest that anything even remotely similar has occurred since.

If you think Pell's Assistant Head Coach did not know what was going on you're a moron.

I'm extremely proud of the integrity Clemson has shown since then. That was almost three decades ago.
If there's a coot out there can say the same thing about USCe he's a lying, ignorant moron.
If that offends you I'm happy!

Doesn't necesarily taint the wins, but I'm glad that

nobody can say something like that about Clemson now. We're winning and nationally relevant right now and doing it the right way.

or winning on probation coming from a Gamecock fan is hilariously ironic right now

During these 3 seasons of 10+ wins in a row, against Auburn, VT, LSU, UGA, and Ohio State (all but one were ranked at the time of the game) we are 8-0.
(Some wise guy will say, "but what about FSU and Carolina?"... throw those in the mix and we are 9-5. Still very good against historically (except you know who) big time programs)

Your argument (was there really anything to argue?) is based on resorting to some formula on College Football News. Here is a free formula.
122 years of football and 0 appearances in a major bowl game = Never been to a major bowl game in 122 seasons, or 122 years and counting of no major bowl appearances, etc.

Dabo is not like Danny Ford. He's 180 degrees from him. He may win a lot of games and heck, we may even win a national championship (although, I highly doubt that), but he's no Danny Ford.

Jan 13, 2014, 5:18 PM

fact. People get on him and call him a cheerleader but the truth is he made some key executive decisions that have made him an excellent leader. He has also recruited players to run these schemes AND he's filled Death Valley again like Danny did back in the day. People under estimate how smart Dabo really is. When you consider what he's done with what he had to do it with most of his life he's an incredible over achiever.

Some times I think people believe Danny Ford coach everything by himself! He had great assistants too! Every great coach does! Saban, Urban, Miles and etc. Dabo is doing a fantastic job and I'm very proud of him!

Evidently, the powers that be at Clemson think so, else why a new 8 year deal?

Dabo lets his team throw the ball
Jan 13, 2014, 9:41 PM
|

Not throwing the ball probably cost Danny two more NC's.
Everyone knew he wasn't gonna throw it inside the twenties......or very much at all for that matter.
