"When I was young, I was sure of many things; now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Saviour. He is well-taught who learns these two lessons." -John Newton


Condolences go out to his family.

I always found him to be very pleasant and thought a lot of him. When I was a freshman at Clemson in 1968, soccer was still a club sport but he changed that. He probably did more for the sport of soccer in South Carolina than any other two people. Until he arrived few people in SC even knew that it existed and I know there are some who still feel that way.

The Clemson community has lost a Clemson Gentleman.

Frogman72, I was a freshman in 68 as well. Do you remember the cool yellow XK-E Ibrahim used to drive. That was my dream car.

Very sorry to hear about Coach Ibrahim..

he was a young coach when I was there in the early 70's. He was just like one of the guys and a friend to everyone. I remember going to the Tiger Den and seeing Coach I. there several times .He loved playing the pin-ball machines, and having a cold one and a peperroni pizza. He was Clemson icon.I will miss him .

Stunned - - this past football season I was at The Athletic


Jul 14, 2008, 2:39 PM

Dept (store) and he was there. Was before the semihole game, I think. Very busy. He got on the phone and sounded like he called his wife at the other store - asking if they were busy, did she need help, etc.

I was at Clemson from '84 - '90 and saw the Nat'l Champ game in '87. Electric. Always thought highly of Coach.

So I was giddy standing there wringing my hands - should I buy a soccer ball and get him to sign it. Would go great with my Frank Howard football and my CTB football. Really busy, didn't want to bother him.

Asked a sales kid there if he thought I could ask for him to sign a soccer ball I would buy and he said Coach loves to do that.

So I did it. Coach Ibrahim acted honored. He went to the back to get an orange Sharpie. He asked about when I was at Clemson and we talked a few minutes about the NC game on Riggs Field.

I left that store on cloud 14 - - made my whole weekend.

As I was leaving 2 guys who looked like 2 former players snuck up around him and acted like they were seeing their father for the first time in 5 years.

Really good guy in my book who I will miss greatly. Prayers for his family.
