Danny Ford wouldn't last very long


Oct 15, 2019, 9:29 PM

as a head coach today. I imagine he would end up as the lead story on Fox News in less than a week. Crazy thing about it, his players would run through a brick wall for him.

Danny Ford was a dang good HC in his day with the type of FB that was played back in his time, and he won a lot of great games as the Clemson Tigers HC, and I very much appreciate every win he helped to win at Clemson. In Danny's time, I wouldn't (just like Dabo) have traded him for any other HC in college FB in his time, and Danny Ford was the face of Clemson FB just as Dabo is now. But no, his style of FB couldn't win any NCGs in this day and time with the way college FB is being played now. Back in the Danny Ford days, it was option FB and very big and strong RBs, and added in a a big strong defense, and in Danny's days, that was the main ingredients for championship FB, and Danny became a master at running that type of FB!!!

Re: Danny Ford; and who's to say

He wouldn't have changed with the times and adapted the style of football he coached to continue winning. Danny was a good recruiter who kept good assistants. He was not the same type manager as Dabo but he also knew every facet of the game and made sure his philosophy was relayed down to the players. Remember, he was an o-lineman at AL and everyone knows o-linemen are the smartest players on the field. I remember his special teams being the best 11 people on the team and his love of playing "with reckless abandon". Remember even Coach Howard changed his offense and regained some national prominence. So who's to say....

He didn't last long enough as it was because he did what

Dabo did (to the administration.)

Let's not make it sound like coach Ford was constantly

berating players on the sideline and be animated doing it. He had the ability to say something and you knew he was serious. It's just one more reason guys would run through a brick wall for him. Guys had the relationship with him that they did out of respect, not fear. You didn't want to disappoint him. You knew he could/would kick your ### but the fact he had your back heavily outweighed that. I don't remember a lot of scenes on the sideline where he layed into somebody unless it was a ref.
