This is a man who loved his kids, their mamas and daddys, and Clemson like no other. His is rarefied air and he should be honored properly and with great fanfare at home in Death Valley without delay.
Clemson Nation owes him a statue outside of our gates. The prez and AD at the time he was let go were soft and misguided. The biggest board dissenter, still, has the name of a renowned chicken farmer. It doesn't make any sense for this man to be relegated to the sidelines any longer.
We need to celebrate Coach Ford and hail him as the champion and outstanding Clemson Ambassador that he was and always will be. He's roots, and a big reason that our university has had the overall success and growth over the past twenty years. He put us on the map, and made the territory more accessible in the process.
