Ham breaks into coaching with Clark Atlanta

ATLANTA - Clifford Browning had heard stories about his coach&#39;s playing days, and a recent trip to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in Macon proved people weren&#39;t exaggerating. <br> <br> There, as the centerpiece of an exhibit about Georgia Southern&#39;s rich football history, were photos of Tracy Ham, former Eagles and Canadian Football League star quarterback and the new coach at Division two Clark Atlanta. <br> <br> Ham led Georgia Southern to Division II-A NCAA national titles in 1985 and 1986, then played 13 seasons in the CFL before retiring in 2000. As gifted a runner as he was a passer, he&#39;s fifth on the all-time CFL list with more than 40,000 passing yards and eighth in rushing with more than eight thousand yards. <br> <br> Ham could play. Now he&#39;ll find out if he can coach at the college level, taking over at a school that was one-and-ten last season and has a history of losing. <br> <br> Since his playing days, Ham has dabbled in high school coaching. He had been on Paul Johnson&#39;s staff at Georgia Southern in 1997 but left when the CFL came calling again.
