Man that’s a huge loss for UAB.  Prayers go out to him and his family.

Godspeed, Coach Clark.   Take care of yourself in the recovery time after your spinal fusion.   

And when you're healed up, feeling good, and itching to go again around December, UNT should have an opening... paying double what you're making now.

Big, big loss for this UAB program. But if he manages to solve those problems he will be a very sought after coach in two-three years. And if he can't/doesn't want a HC position, big programs would pay him big bucks to be a part-time analyst.

Clark was a fantastic coach.  What he accomplished at UAB was amazing.  He will be missed.

If you read his announcement, see what he's going through, it doesn't sound like a return is likely.

Greater miracles have happened, though.

Wish him all the best. 53 is so young.

any rumor SL is up for the head coaching job at UAB?  Rumor anyone?

He'd be a perfect fit there!

I guess i am not really familiar with what the long term consequences and likely outcomes of spinal fusion are. Can anyone enlighten me.

It’s pretty serious.  My mom has to basically use a cane and she has it.  Being a head football coach takes some athleticism and you don’t see any of them on a cane.
