Hadn’t seen it mentioned yet but Clawson stepped down at Wake today. Will let others summarize but ESPN has a decent article. The game is changing and it’s tough to operate for many schools. Great coach and person - he saved this program.

I sure hope so ‘32. My take is that he was frustrated by people calling for his head over downward performance and he hates losing, so decided to step away. But that’s all speculation. I certainly hope his family is all ok.

It’s tough to win at Wake as they pinch Pennies in athletics. The school itself is phenomenal though.

Wake is the UR of the ACC.Wake unable to compete with the NIL heavyweights.It will continue to be a farm system for the deep pocket alternatives.

When Belicheck got the UNC job it clearly sent the message to Dave that semipro football was at his doorstep and nothing could be done to stem the tide.The rules for friendly recruiting are permanently off the table.

Interesting read in the article. I talked with Dave couple weeks ago. Of course he didn’t mention this decision. I did bring up Sam Hartman, and we talked about Sam a bit. I met Dave and Catherine the summer before his first season here, and not only is he a great coach but also a guy with a lot class. Best to Dave and family.
 
So, one to JMU, one to Wisconsin, and another with a VT offer. Perhaps not Patriot League decision but maybe they are just FBS players.
