Somehow I found myself much more interested to hear what Danny had to say rather than tammy. This time I actually clicked the link.

Were you just comparing Danny to Tammy?
Aug 29, 2012, 7:53 PM
|
|
There is NO Comparison. One is a legend, the other a coach that noone would take after he left. Danny IS Clemson, Tammy is not.

There is no reason to disrespect Tommy Bowden

by calling him "Tammy" like our feathered friends are so fond of doing. Don't stoop to their level. Tommy Bowden did a lot of good things for this program and he absolutely owned USC like no other coach; he just had a glass ceiling he couldn't figure out how to break through.

Tommy made out of here like a bandit with 4 million
Aug 29, 2012, 8:40 PM

after creating that Arkansas ruse. He also shows no loyalty to Clemson....hell, even Lou still loves USCjr and speaks fondly of them. Tommy owned USCjr b/c they sucked! If he was our coach now, he would never beat them again. We don't owe him anything. Because of CU, he won't have to work as a coach again.

If you want to blame someone for Tommy's golden parachute, blame TDP. Was Tommy supposed to refuse the buyout?
Frankly I don't have that much of a problem with him trying to be neutral when talking about Clemson and our chances. I find Lou Holtz's constant fawning over USC and Notre Dame to be rather tacky. Bowden's being paid to be an analyst, not a homer. Obviously he has a lot more tact than Holtz, who apparently hasn't learned much discretion over the years.

I guess that we will disagree

I find someone who fluffs up their status by pretending that there was interest from Arkansas to better his contract a little decieving and dishonest. I agree that TDP messed up on falling for it and the end deal. As an analyst, he does need to be somewat neutral......but most of them still show some level of loyalty. If they don't, then I would question their passion. That is one thing I rarely saw with Tommy....was passion.

If a major D-1 school was "highly interested" in him at that time( an SEC school at that), why has he had NO MAJOR offers since? Please don't tell me...."how do you know he hasn't". He would have jumped already. I am not saying that I did not like him. I was only saying that he was no Danny. People kept pushing so I gave my opinion. Give it a rest.

I agree totally. There's no reason to ever belittle any former coach, ALL Oof them put a lot of heart and soul into their jobs, and MOST LOVED Clemson. Tommy did a lot of positive things... he had just taken the program as far as he could from the 3-8 the year before he arrived at Clemson. Even Tommy West was a good man ! Thumbs up to you

I like Dabo. But his coach-speak is usually uninformative.***

Danny looks like he's had a blepharoplasty?

That's saggy eyelid surgery. He looks different from last year.

Honestly - I wish Danny Ford would become more of a visible figure on our campus. He needs to speak more often about our football program. Danny coached football like I love to see it coached. None of this 'giving up' attitude, or afraid to hit someone attitude. Real football that you respected. Win or lose - the opponent would get a war every week - and they knew it before we stepped on the field.

I find it strange that the two of you both picked this for your first comment on TigerNet. Can't argue with the posts though Thumbs up all around!

after all we put him through. Some self imposed for sure, but anyway... Not going down this road again.
Always a pleasure seeing him around town.
