A news report from the studio and if you've never heard Coach Ford speak its always a good statement and shows you how humble he really is.

BANY - The City of Albany has declared Feb. 2 Bob Ford Day.

Thursday, is Bob Ford Day in the City of Albany for the legendary football coach and for many University at Albany fans, the only coach they have ever known.

Bob Ford, the winningest active coach in Division I football with 255 wins, was also a guy who took great pride in turning out players, good citizens and good students.

“I’m just overwhelmed by it,” said Ford. “I think of all the tremendous people in the Capital District, you know the great cardiologists, the great doctors, people who save lives and here we are honoring a football coach. It gives you some indication of how athletics is viewed in this country.”

The honor also gives people an idea of how highly regarded Ford is in the Capital Region.
