Tiger Rushmore

Listening to coot radio and they're talking about who would be on their football Mt Rushmore. Lol no joke. Should be easy for them since they only have to go back a few years, but it got me wondering WHO would we put up.........I got
Ford
Spiller
Dabo
Judge
It's pretty hard, I have about 10 that I could argue

Ford, Howard, Heisman, and Dabo all had undefeated seasons.

might as well pencil DW in

may end up being the best player ever to play here along with
Spiller
Dabo -tough call but if I had to choose one, I pick Dabo over Ford. Dabo is Ford without NCAA cloud, not meant as insult to Ford just a tie breaker. I think before Dabo leaves he will have a few more ACC titles and maybe another Natty appearance and possible Championship.
Judge or Fuller or Banks McFadden

of appearances. I think today, Ford even alluded to this, it is harder to even get there. More regular season games, conference champ game, CFP, plus recruiting is a lot stricter these days with scholarship limitations. We are doing all this, and running a clean program. I am also basing this on future projection that I think Dabo will just continue to win and eventually have other title game appearances and I think he will eventually get one maybe this year. Obviously, Ford would get in over Dabo based on current accomplishments, but since Dabo is still coaching and should have a lot of years left, I think he will eventually overtake Ford.

So you're putting him up there preemptively?

That'd be like if they had put Calvin Coolidge (sitting president at the time) on the real Mt Rushmore.

Talking players I would go
Deshaun
CJ
Charlie
LeRoy
In my lifetime(born in 92). We really would need to do one of each position. I would want to put Dawkins Bowers and Adams up there for sure. Catman deserves to be there too! Sammy does as well as NuK!

Love Spiller - but no.
Jun 9, 2016, 4:32 PM

He was amazing for us and was 'a part' of a transition that has seen us attain glory not seen in 30 years or more.
But is he one of our top 4 faces. no way.
And yeah, Heismann was at Clemson a couple years, but I think it a far, far stretch to identify with the man. He was the Johnny Appleseed of football - planting and moving on. He would never have identified with Clemson. We shouldn't identify with him.
iconic faces ...
Coaches:
Coach Howard
Coach Ford
Players all positions - nearly impossible, but:
McFadden, I think.
Perry Tuttle - look at his statistics and that on a team built to RUN first.
Jeff Davis - because Judge
Special mention:
didn't you just love Levon Kirkland and Terry Kindard

For the younger Tiger fans, Banks was Clemson's first All-American in football. He was simply great in football and basketball. Research his record and it is evident why he deserves such recognition.
Go Tigers!

the coaches should go in first, then McFadden (who also was an asst.coach, Fred Cone, Bobby Gage, Fridge, Fuller.......then we can get to many "new" folks who've re-written the record books

How about Brian Dawkins or Sammy or Nuke? Does the NFL aspect matter? Maybe Nuke might be in the HOF one day with Dawkins..

Buckner does not belong on the basketball Tiger Rushmore

He was as a good player, but he's not close to being one of our 4 best. I don't think he was better than McDaniels or Blossomgame. He probably should be replace with a guy like Sharone Wright.

Some old coot named Ronnie...

That would always call in during their 5 year run and say Clemson fans couldn't talk about anything from the past. That was history. Well he called in this morning and said Tajh Boyd should be on theirs because of their 5peat. How's that for living in the past? Sounds like history to me.

Spiller?

Sorry, but in my opinion CJ was good, but I personally think he's at best Top 5 all time for us. I think many younger fans just missed out on when we were a power running team. CJ was good, and I agree should have at least been invited to the Heisman Ceremony, but IMO one of the top 4 players ever for CU? Not imo. What are mine? WAY too hard to say but here are mine.
1. Danny Ford... No question, and yes. Over Howard. Besides, you want to tell Danny no? 
2. DW4 May be the best player to suit up for us in any sport
3. Banks McFadden. If you know our history, this isn't debated.
4. The Fridge. Forget the overly large man he ate himself into, this man was quick, STRONG, and fierce. Dominated in a way that I'm hoping Big Dex does.
