Former Arkansas coach Danny Ford elected to College Football Hall of Fame

FAYETTEVILLE — Danny Ford had a losing record in his final head coaching job, but it did little to deter from his legacy as one of his era's greatest college football coaches.

Ford, who coached Arkansas to a 26-30-1 record from 1993-97, was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame on Monday. He will be inducted with 12 others - including Peyton Manning, Steve Spurrier, Marshall Faulk and Adrian Peterson - during a Dec. 5 banquet in Atlanta.

Prior to his time at Arkansas, Ford was considered one of college football's best coaches. He went 96-29-4 in 11 seasons at Clemson from 1979-89.
