Coach
Shawn Clark agreed to become the 22nd head football coach in App State history on Dec. 13, 2019.
His five-year contract runs through the 2024 season, and he made his official head coaching debut while leading the Mountaineers to a 31-17 victory against UAB in the 2019 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl eight days after his introductory press conference. Ranked 18th in the final Amway Coaches Poll of the season, App State went 13-1 to become the first Sun Belt team and the first FBS team from North Carolina to win 13 games in a season.
Clark has helped lead record-setting runs to conference titles and bowl victories, not just at App State, where he played from 1994-98 and had served as an assistant since 2016, but also in four other leagues during his two decades of college coaching experience.
Working for championship-winning programs at Louisville and Eastern Kentucky before being part of a bowl win for Big Ten member Purdue and coaching at Kent State, Clark was also a vital part of App State's historic success in the previous four seasons.
Overseeing talented, hard-working offensive lines the entire time, he followed a December 2018 coaching change involving college teammate Scott Satterfield's departure for Louisville by excelling as an aggressive offensive play-caller in a 45-13 bowl victory against Middle Tennessee. With valuable experience at his disposal, Clark was promoted to head coach.
