Ford worries about long-term COVID-19 effects on players: "It's a gamble you can't lose"

CLEMSON – Former Clemson coach Danny Ford sat down with the local media earlier this week and was asked if he would want to play a college football season in the face of COVID-19, or if he would preach caution. Ford preaches caution, simply because there are so many unknowns.

Ford was one of the celebrity guests at the Sharone Wright Benefit golf tournament Monday at the Walker Course, and he camped out on the 17th tee box to talk to golfers as they came by. Ford likes to give off an ‘aw shucks’ country boy vibe, but anyone that knows him understands he is shrewd, calculating and extremely smart.
