Everyone we have talked about about Phil Ford, even those who were very
critical of his DWIs, has compassion for the man and his struggle. As you
all know, alcohol or any addiction is a daily struggle. That's why Dean
Smith's suggestion that Ford
be considered for the job at UNLV seems kind of crazy, frankly. If
there were a city in the U.S. Ford should probably steer clear of, Vegas is
it. Dean even suggests himself as a sort of consultant/coach emeritus in a
joking way (Gut too).
