A head coach has to balance personable connection with the players and assistants along with being a disciplinarian. In short, Clark struggled with that balance and his ability to communicate effectively seemed to deteriorate. He had a locker room full of super seniors and mismanaged the locker room dynamics. I imagine it was hard for coaches with the COVID SS situations already, especially when guys technically already graduated.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 12:22 amYes, the pro day thing was weird...

But, he never lost the team.. He just enforced rules finally and the ones that were constantly breaking them didn't like it.
*this is just my observations from the exposure I had to the team and from things I heard. I'll say this again, I really like Shawn as a man and think he's a great guy.
