Ford compiled a 96–29–4 (.760) record at Clemson, including a 6–2 bowl record. He is second on the school's wins list, behind only Frank Howard. He was the third winningest coach in the country on a percentage basis after the 1989 season. Ford also coached 21 All-Americans and 41 players who went on to play in the NFL, during his 11 seasons at Clemson.

Danny was great. Probably the greatest we've had but he ain't here and he ain't coming back.

He offered to donate his salary to academics for 3 years

And I believe he is a year younger than Ball Sac
Just Saying
I like our staff. but there is no doubt they have some growing up to do.
And Fast!! It’s not HS anymore
Dabo is the boss and he needs to assert his power in controlling Morris play calling. We had a lead and Morris is scared to run the Dang ball.
Instead he kept feeding Boyd to the D-line

consider Ford. Good for his time but over the hill and just would not fit.

that I bet most Tiger fans cannot even name. He also had a roster full of beastly linemen and depth. I enjoyed Ford as a kid, but lets' be honest, he didn't do it all on his own either.

It seems those that yell "Bring Back Danny Ford!!!" forget that it takes him wanting to come back. Hell, if we can just make demands that a coach come to Clemson I say "Go sign Nick Saban!!!"
Idiots.....

I think Tigernet would self destruct if Coach Danny Ford came back and didn't win 14 games every year. Who would we hire then?!?

They played smash-mouth football then--it wins championships

And when they did lose, the first thing the coach always said was, "I should have had them better prepared."
