Another point by yours truly:


#TeamClark has more wins in his first 2 years as Head Coach than any other coach App State Football History. (19) wins in his first 2 years.

We should re-name the Stadium #TeamClarkField at Kidd Brewer Stadium with Mark Ricks Suites shading us in the 3:30 sun and the Jerry Moore statue leading the way toward Howard's Knob.

That's a mouthful for the ESPN plus TV feller to say coming on air but I think he can handle it.

If your goal is to annoy everyone on the board, you are quickly achieving it. Sometimes you actually make some sense and then others times it is garbage. At least our other notoriously annoying poster is always consistent in his approach. You on the other hand are just posting nonsense to try to get a reaction.

He inherited a top 25 team so of course he should have a number like that at the very least.

The only coaches he can compare to is Satterfield and Drink. Satt was here during transition when we didn’t have the talent and Drink was just here for a year. Drink was on pace to surpass 19 before mid-season if he stayed another year. I don’t think it’s fair to compare to our FCS/IAA years.

That is a fact! Now, how many games did he win in his first 3 seasons? Is that a record? What about first 3 and a half seasons? Is that more than Satterfield or Moore?

Since it was asked:
Clark 25 wins first three years
Moore 23 wins
Satt 22 wins

And if Clark goes 6-6 this year (hopefully, it’s better)
he’ll be tied with Satt after 4 years and 1 win ahead of Moore (who then went 4-7 in his 5th year)

So the COVID season only counts when it's beneficial to those who want to look at Clark's past records and not more recent results? I ask, because for years I've heard it as an excuse and justification. Just looking for clarification from those that want to use pointless stats and hashtags.

It does make a difference what you inherit because it sets expectation. I thought 2020 didn’t count?

By year 4 shouldn’t the wind be the same or more if you are better than previous coach? Went from 19 the first 2 to just 9 the last 2 so far and 3 of those 9 against FCS. If we win out we can’t equal that 19 total.

I never said it didn't count per Clark and the games,

My whole Covid year for #TeamClark is like this, first year as a Head Coach, he didn't get to practice in the spring with his team, still won 9 ball games, each state especially the Liberal NC had different Pandemic rules compared to the more conservative other SBC states and campuses we were competing against.

No one on here wants to cut him slack for 9 wins during that. Plus the 2020 election Presidential racial injustice that swept through college campuses and locker rooms that were team distractions.

This entire thread is a bit tiresome. Nobody is firing Clark this year. He could lose out and barring some kind of scandal he's the HC in 2024. He has the support of the guys in the suites and the administration.

I'm with you. This thread never ends mostly because a few smart asses can't resist poking each other. There is some long diatribe that gets a comment so it's right back on there. If a coach isn't doing anything wrong and is conducting business the right way he should get at least 5 years to see what he can do. The only exception I could envision is if he inherits a solid roster and just lets it fall apart (a 2-10 type season) followed by another disastrous season. Going 6-6 with multiple coaching changes and roster turnover isn't grounds.

The COVID statement was more so directed towards others who use COVID still to this day as an excuse.

I give him credit for what he's accomplished, but also give criticism for his failures. Recently, there have been more questionable decisions and mistakes, which to me is more important than the past. We can argue all day between who is to blame between coaches and players, but we all know that in the college game it falls back on the coach, always.

In the NFL, they can move players around, fire GMs that made bad off-season mistakes before finally parting ways with a coach. Those options aren't available at the college level. He's still coaching the team this Saturday, and I hope for a win. Would love nothing more than to see him succeed and get the program back to winning in a more consistent and comfortable manner.

I think we have fans who have seen COVID handled better than we did and it frustrated them. You also have to remember that Clark inherited a ranked team so if he had won 10 in 2020 and won the SBC title and bowl game that he would have a longer leash now. Fans felt disappointed at the drop off in 2020 and 2021 and then the 6-6 team that failed to make a bowl game after beating Troy and A&M had many people concerned but willing to give this year a chance due to all the changes. If we had beat CCU and not blown it at Wyoming I think his seat would have cooled down. If we lose to ODU this weekend the seat will go from warm to scorching hot and put our backs so far against the wall that I don't see a rebound.

Another thing hurting us is the fact that JMU is looking so good. They came back to beat us last year and right now are undefeated and look like a top 25 team. Our fans feel we have been passed by a team from FCS after just being a ranked FCS team who beat 2 P5 schools in a season.
