Name to watch

I've heard thru the old college football grapevine that former South Carolina DC Lorenzo Ward is headed to Clemson. I'm not sure what he will be doing on the staff, but I know he goes way back with Coach Swinney. I'm sure Clemson will release something once the paperwork and all is done.

Hope he's rich and just looking for names to put on the checks.

Like basketball? Never understood all the staff around the bench during games. Looks to be more staff than players.

If i remember correctly, he was last the DC at UTC, can't see him coming aboard as an advisor unless someone is planning on moving on soon.

In all seriousness, what does he bring to the table? I don't recall him being a great coach while at Usuck. Some say he was a great recruiter, but was that him or Spurrier cause when Spurrier decided to back off recruiting the talent went downhill fast and so did the team. I just don't see how this is an exciting hire.

Well there is this, "Ward played college football at the University of Alabama from 1986 to 1989." per wiki. And was a GA at Bama in 1991. But if you look at his overall coaching career, he has a pretty good pedigree as a DB coach with schools and players in NFL.

Doesn't make him a good coach. You are suppose to progress. Going from Usuck and the NFL to UTC is not progressing.

If hes a friend of Dabos then thats evidently all that matters.

Old article; when he was going to be the interim at Louisville.

But, in it they state while at VT - his last two years their defense finished 4th and 1st in total and scoring defense.
It also states: while at S.C. they were in the top 25 7 out of 9 years he was there.

And, as others have stated, he seems to be able to recruit pretty well.

Back of my mind: I wonder if Coach Reed has told Dabo something?
I recall some noise about him and B.C. being a thing.

Yeah so like we REALLY don't want to lose Coach Reed... Might be the best DB coach + recruiter in the nation.

I’ll gladly take him as an analyst. I wish Dabo would have a bigger off field support staff. Former coordinators and head coaches. Like Cutcliffe, and Patterson.

So I’m excited for the hire! Glad to have you on board!
