If Clemson had to come up with an athletic Mt Rushmore, who are the 4 that would put on it?
The metrics to judge must be: success, impact on Clemson, commitment to Clemson, and character.
My nominees:
-Danny Ford
-Dabo Swinney
-Banks McFadden
-Frank Howard
Others:
-Terry Don Phillips
-CJ Spiller
-Jim Phillips
Who am I forgetting?

Danny
Dabo
CJ
Christian Wilkins
Without Dabo and Danny, we would have never made it to the top of the mountain.
CJ proved it was possible to land a top tier player and they could be great at Clemson setting the stage for all the other great players who committed.
Wilkins was the embodiment of all the great players we had in the modern era. He was the model student athlete who practically willed us to our 3rd national championship.

We kinda already have this; it’s called the ring of honor. If we went literal, why stop with four? I’d add in everyone from the ring.

If we're opening it up to all sports - might have to include Valerie Cagle

from the softball team. Probably the greatest female athlete in Clemson history and one of the most recognized and awarded athletes overall at Clemson. She's won every individual award there is to win, I think - NCAA and ACC - and still has one more year! All she's lacking is an ACC and National Championship.

"also mentioned"? Yeah, maybe 4 is not enough. I have no problem with the 4 mentioned, but it would be a tough call. I see no representation of other specific sports - only AD TDP, the late great JP and football guys. Is this meant to be a football Rushmore, or overall?

It stinks that Watsons post-Clemson life has gone the way it has because a huge argument can be made for him.
While TLaw was probably a better QB, I always felt secure with DW4 at QB.
I always said that if we weren’t able to win a CFP with DW4 I didn’t think we’d ever get over that hump.
DW4 is owed a lot of credit for getting us over that hump too.

I’d be okay subbing Howard for Ford.
My preference is for coaches on there instead of players, since coaches recruited and developed the star players.
