An anonymous commenter had this to say about our namesake Danny Lee Ford and I thought I would post it and get y'all's opinion on it. Does Danny deserve a shot at the CFB HoF?
Chili,
Danny Ford is a coach worthy of hall of fame consideration given his overall won-loss record of 76% at Clemson including his impressive record of winning well over 60% of his games against either hall of fame coaches or hall of fame coaching candidates. His winning a national title in 1981 puts him in an elite class of coaches which makes him worthy of at least consideration to the hall of fame. Many Clemson alumni feel this way; however, it is important we get out the message across the country.
Danny Ford is worthy of the Hall of Fame because he made the ACC a football conference when it was widely regarded as a basketball one.
ReplyDeleteHe took a team that had been depleated by sanctions (not of his own making) and made them into consistent top 10 teams.
Plus, his daughter was HOT. Smokin Hot.
Yep. Glad Merriweather got a TD in his last "game" of his career. I'm so glad bowden went with the "hot hand" at the end of the USC game. Nothing says "hot hand" to Tommy Bowden like 11 yards in 7 carries. Way to stick with Davis, ya freakin' moronic whimp-stick. ("Whimp-Stick" is a copyright trademark of ConHugeCo, Incorporated.

ReplyDeleteProctor finished 9-of-15 for 107 yards and earned MVP honors for the Aina while Elon linebacker Chad Nkang, who had nine tackles, was named MVP for the Kai. Zabransky was 7-of-12 for 67 yards with a touchdown and the late interception.
ReplyDeleteFord for CFB HoF?? Eh, I have a hard time with that. Yeah, he's a legend at Clemson, but that doesn't automatically put him at the same level with Paterno, B. Bowden, Bryant, Schembechler, etc. That's a whole other level. He'd have to have been at Clemson another 20 years and won at least 2 more NCs for that to be legit. Personally, I'd rather see Danny become the next AD rather than being inducted into any HoF.
