The Danny Ford Years at Clemson: Romping and Stomping Larry Williams

The last time Danny Ford spit tobacco juice on a Clemson sideline was December 30, 1989. Yet Ford has become more beloved as time has distanced the Tigers from the glory he orchestrated in eleven years as the team's football coach. It began in December 1978, when a young, obscure offensive line coach took over a heartbroken fan base. It ended in January 1990 under a cloud of controversy and mystery that has not yet been completely resolved. In between, Ford led Clemson on a wild and unforgettable ride. Award-winning sportswriter Larry Williams presents, for the first time in book form, the definitive story of Ford's complicated, compelling Clemson tenure.
