Now, he is known for his inspirational speaking, sports marketing, and sports ministry.

Coach Ford is a legend around Clemson, SC and I am honored to have spent a few minutes with him to talk about his success as a head football coach and what he thinks about the Clemson Tigers chances of winning another national title.
