Danny Ford

As stated in an article earlier this week, Danny Ford last coached a game at Clemson in 1989. Since that time, there has been three head football coaches with each of these coaches reaching out to Ford with the exception of Ken Hatfield.

I say this because, Danny Ford has always been kind to Clemson although the Clemson administration has never fully embraced him since he left. Ford has been more than willing to allow coaches to reach out to him and provide them with insight into the football program.

It's past time for Clemson University to fully welcome Danny Ford back to the Clemson, not as a the head football coach, but as a former head football coach that should be viewed on the same level that Frank Howard is viewed by this University.

The NCAA found no violations in its investigations. Why not bring Ford for football Saturday's in Clemson? He is such a vital piece of the tradition at Clemson.

It's time for President Barker to get off his top 20 university and focus on putting Ford back into the football program. It's what Danny Ford deserves given what he's contributed to the University.

The administration that never fully embraced DF is and has been gone for some time. I think he has been fully welcomed back into the Clemson family since then, evident by him being inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame and in the Ring of Honor. Additionally I often see him tailgating on games days and at the Esso. He is always having a great time and treated like royalty by everyone who sees him. He is the standard of Clemson Football.
