It's time guys...Clark must go

[proasu89]

I know this isn’t the popular opinion as we’ve been decimated by injuries this year. Yea I know who cares. That doesn’t matter right? But if we are measured on wins and losses, our kicker doesn’t choke we are winning and going bowling. I’m prepared for the onslaught of insults I’m sure will he directed my way. But to fire Clark is sec level idiocy

This is not about one season or one game or one kick. There no upside with Clark. He was over his head when he got the job and has TOTALLY FAILED to grow into it.

I would love to sit down and actually talk X’s and O’s With you. Our defense was being held together with popcicle sticks and it wasn’t full of world beaters this year anyway. We put up a ton of yards tonight on offense. I threw me hat when we lost and was pissed but I can be honest with what we had out there on defense

Still doesn’t answer the question about how we can’t get a yard on 2 attempts in the first and second half. Or….why we don’t put the kicker in the middle of the field when we have timeouts left.

Hope everyone in here advocating for a firing has their wallets ready to donate to the Yosef club. Put your money where your mouths are.

I’m sure many would be willing to open their wallets further if the moves are made to right the program, and I’m not personally saying that has to be SC this off-season. I’m torn on his removal. But close to wholesale changes are needed at this point. People donate when hope for the future is high and expectations for a resurrection strong. People don’t donate “on spec” that changes may be made if the money is found to pay for it.

Our kicker might not choke if our HC/OC run the ball to the middle to get a few yards closer and center up the kick. You know, like literally any competent coach or kid with a PlayStation controller would do. Fire ‘em.

Honestly I’m a little glad we lost this game. If we had made the kick and somehow lucked into a bowl game, that might have been enough to keep the status quo.

Do you want another year of giving up the 3rd and 13 for 24? This defense is really bad. Let’s start there.

Do you see who’s out there? Did you even bother to look at the injury report? The rebuilt defense has struggled, the injury replacements of the rebuilt defense have really struggled. That shouldn’t result in firing Clark

Lol homie we haven’t stopped anyone this entire year! Then lose to our rival on a 30 yard pass in the end zone with not a defender in sight. I want Clark to succeed but it’s been down hill since he got there.

It’s sucked for sure. But our defense was gonna be questionable coming into this year anyway. And with the injuries to boot we had no margin for error.

We went 4-6 against the FBS and one of those was a Hail Mary bull crap win. We essentially had a losing season

It why we have slow d backs or 3 string line backers playing. I get what you saying. I see the problems.

[CharlotteApp05]

Honest question. Is DJ only the DC because he is with TS daughter? Can SC not fire him because of that?

Because if that’s the case we are in even worse shape than we think we are.

Are saying

Keep him too long and watch what happens to Yosef Club donations.

I’m still not certain it matters. I’m afraid we might have a guy or two we always see chatting it up on the sidelines with DG or up in the C-Suite with Sheri or looking at their name(s) on the sides of athletic buildings that are really the ones calling the shots and they like “their guys” as they are, W or L.

Exactly!

When you put a winning product in the field, the money will come. Just imagine the excitement if we had carried the momentum of the first 3 weeks and we were staring at a NY6 game right now.

"The termination without cause clause was also adjusted. Should Clark be fired without cause before Dec. 1, 2022, the school will pay him $5 million, which then drops to $3 million,

We will probably lose way more than 2 mil in ticket and concession sales in 23 if we keep him.

I’m pretty sure those guys like winning too.

Reposting from the gameday thread- Clark lost the locker room last season, facts. I don't even care to keep it behind the Lodge gates. Like Shawn a lot as a man, but if you can't uphold the greatness of App State football, you've got to go. Doug has a business decision to make, it'll cost him a lot if we have a half filled stadium and low support next season.

If Yosef Club pays coaching salaries, then I wish I had never donated since the beginning. I thought is was for scholarships? And now, with the portal.... I don't know if I want to do that.

[Mjohn1988]

Fire Satterfield. Fire Roof. Fire Moore Oh wait.

Satterfield turned it around in less that a full season….Roof had the D kicking ass in less than a full season…this has been a full 3 year downward spiral that just keeps getting worse…we basically just played for last spot in the east and lost….I keep waiting for the “light to come on”…thought we might have turned the corner in the Georgia State game…nope…3 years…the light ain’t coming on

What if I told you there are good coaches that don't need millions?

Are you saying success correlated with brand survivability for G5 programs? Interesting, certain posters on this board would say everything is fine.

Let’s see what happens next on this horror era

This is true. And now Darrynton, henni and cam are on twitter seemingly digging at the coaches.
