Reminder to everyone that it will be Tuesday at the earliest if an announcement comes that he is fired.

That is what I was thinking. Make sure to let the buyout drop to save us some money.

I believe it drops 12/3 or is it 12/2?

[Stonewall]

The guy is in over his head. Time to cut ties and rebuild.

BALLGAME!
I have grown to despise Coach Clark. He is a horrible coach and has truly driven the program into the ground. Dispute that if you like. Screw this. To answer a previous question. I doubt the odds of him being fired are very high. Next year, I expect even worse

Don't despise him. Clark is a good person and great OL coach. He just isn't made to be a head coach. I think Clark will be fired on Monday after the way this game has gone.

There are a lot of good people i don't like. I'll like him a lot better if he is no longer associated with App State football.

Zero penalties against JMU.
TEN penalties against GASO.

GASO didn’t win this game as much as we lost it. A very bitter loss.

I'll never forget feeling very uneasy that we didn't have a formal coaching search after Drink left.

I believe the players at that time had a big say in getting Clark hired. This was a major mistake.

Regardless, I went along with it and gave it a chance because I loved what Clark was selling after the way Drink left.

Ultimately, my suspicion was correct, Clark is not head coach material. He is too emotional and not savy enough for it.

He will always be a Mountaineer and a damn good one that has my support, but he will not take us to the next step, let alone maintain what our standing was when he took the keys to a very nice program.

Yep. My comment at the time was “the last time our players determined a hire we ended up with Capel”.

[Bootsy]

First losing season since joining FBS.
First losing season in 11 years.

I take no joy in writing this. None.

Are we better off than we were 4 years ago?

That was some BS Cobb made up. The players wanted McMahon but a couple donors wanted the baby blue guy.

In addition to coaching change, I’ll be fine with any of these players hitting the portal too. This season has been so disappointing it feels like we just need to push the reset button.

[bcoach]

Need to just clean house....the whole house. Find someone who can recruit and and OC and a DC. Then give them some time to get some players. Get on the portal big time and use it both in and out.

Exactly what JMU did

Yet another reason to despise the cheat

Were there some poor coaching decisions. Yes

Am I renewing my NEZ seats now matter who the coach is ..hell yes.

Some of you sound like celebrities threatening to leave the country if XYZ candidate wins an election.makes me laugh out loud...I guess we can term it .."see ya Ellen's" ..as she is the only one I have heard is actually leaving the country..

I hear you, but people are also entitled to spend their few spare dollars elsewhere if their money doesn’t speak volumes when leadership makes unpopular decisions, no?

Does your wife come from candy bar money too?

We need to find players that love to play. Love to practice. Love to work. Are pissed they weren’t enough stars. Didn’t win enough in high school. Even with NIL they are out there. In some school that is t heavily recruited. Corey Lynch went like 5-40 in HS, but loved to work out, loved the game, love to practice. Wasn’t recruited heavily. Ended up in The NFL. It takes work, not just throwing NIL. What about Jason Hunter?kicked off the damn team. Worked to come back, made it to the league. Hell look at Bucky. Transferred from WCU, worked his ass off, in the league. We need leaders. We need means not the ends. We need team players, not individuals. We need coaches that players believe in, not coaches that players question. It’s not rocket science. It’s basic. Look at JMU, SC, Boise, BYU. Army, Navy, Memphis. Teams that win 1 believe in the team and the coach to lead them 2 enjoy outworking everyone else 3 find players that others can’t find. That’s it. Thats the formula. That’s what we had for 40 years.

[AppOrange]

I've held my tongue till the end of the season, that has come.

Need a change, we are slowly going backwards and this was a down year for the conference. we do nothing well, but have some really good players. One of the top G5 teams deserve better than a losing season. I love coach as a player and person, but he is not a CEO . . . too unsophisticated to lead a top G5, we need some new blood and an ass kicker to demand better fundamentals . . . out.
