Will Muschamp, Danny Ford forming unlikely friendship

In April, Danny Ford and Will Muschamp gave speeches on leadership at Knight’s Companies, a concrete contractor in Summerville. The talks sounded pretty similar to Ford.

“They do a lot of things similar to us,” the former Clemson and Arkansas coach told The State. “They believe in a lot of the same things.”

Those similarities have led to what might be considered an unlikely friendship between the man who coached Clemson to the 1981 national title and the man charged with rebuilding South Carolina’s football program to once again challenge the Tigers for in-state dominance.
