Re: I want to know
And with any success he’d a been long gone before now. He also dumped wv 4 months after signing a contract extension to go to Michigan. It was so contentious it wound up in court.

Yeah I was being tongue n cheek. He’s beat this drum forever. He’d probably love to see Clark fail which would mean app fails so he could be right. It’s so bizarre. Clark is our guy.

Re: I want to know
I don't think Coach Clark "sucks"....as some have said (now Jones I might lean toward saying that). I don't like where he has this team at the moment. I remember when Coach Moore took his trip up to WV to learn from Rodriguez and transition to the spread offense. The team missed the playoffs and went 7-4. The rest...is history. I'm not saying Clark needs to up and change our entire team dynamics.... but there has to be something that is keeping this team from coming together and being all it can be. I'm hoping that the seat is getting warm for him and that he's realizing he has to do something. I want him to succeed. I don't want another head coaching change. Something has to give as we can't be complacent with this trajectory.

Re: I want to know
Lazy or not, it wasn’t the best choice. You should know more than anyone since you’re a WVU guy too. Clark reminds me of Bill Stewart. Great guy, great representation for the school but not a good head coach or one that keep taking the program forward.

Re: I want to know
There's much more to the story of what happened at WVU with Rodriguez than most know - I will try to add some later ---
You are correct about Bill Stewart being a great guy, loved WV, but not a great head coach -

Re: I want to know
An offensive evolution is exactly what we need. Unfortunately...or fortunately depending on how you look at it...we won't see an offensive evolution until Chase Brice graduates. Chase is a great guy and a great QB. We are lucky ot have him and I'm sure his maturity and experience are holding things together. Someone who says otherwise about CB does not see the whole picture that includes all the way back to the Drinkwitz year. Now, Brice is not the athlete that ZT was. Taylor Lamb was a better runner than Chase. This lack of athleticism is holding back our offense from running a RPO/Pistol/Run & Gun offense. Honestly Chase Brice is holding together an offense that is too young/inexperience/immature to compete this year.ASUTodd wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 3:06 pmI don't think Coach Clark "sucks"....as some have said (now Jones I might lean toward saying that).

Hopefully next year all pieces save for QB are a year bigger, stronger, faster & mature and the offense transforms into something we all want it to be. If 21 of the 22 guys are good the last peice can come along nicely.
I've seen Clark grow as a coach in many ways and I do not subscribe to the idea he is incompetent. I think injuries, inexperience, poor scheduling and immaturity have lead the team to its current postion.

Re: I want to know
I’m hopeful that the current woes are growing pains and player limitations (ie guys playing in places they’re not used to and are trying to get up to speed). 2004 does come to mind-it was a tough year for us as fans, but it paid off.
I don’t like some of the things I see (a lot of them). Our team seems immature in places, especially with the penalties. We should be better than that, but I was 18-23 once, and I was emotional then, too. Hell, I’m emotional now!
We all want the best for the program and university (I hope). Sometimes you gotta crawl first. I still don’t love our defense, but they’re what we’ve got, so I’ll have to deal with it. I just hope that next season proves to be a 2005 type year, where we play with heart and do something we’ve never done before.
It’s the hope that kills you…

Re: I want to know
You already know. Clark wasn't ready for this job after or 2019 success. I wish him well. I want a turn around. But I don't see it. Not now, not in December of '19. I wish we'd tried something else.

Do you think we should have hired someone else? I’m not sure where you stand on the Clark hire

Re: I want to know
I do. It may take time. To me it looks like it might. I think we look several years away from competing for a conference title. I have never called for a firing.Seattleapp wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 4:23 pmAnd we want Coach Clark to be successful right?appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 4:04 pmYou already know.
