Apparently he is one of 5-6 guys Duke is considering

i'd be surprised at him going to the black hole of CFB Duke ,although it would be a nice bump in salary.

At least we wised up and put a $5MM buyout in this contract if he leaves before 2023.

Clark might pick up the phone and say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Put the phone down and start laughing. That would become the yearly joke at the coaches’ retreat.

It would be a mistake by both parties

When you’re 20-5 with 2 bowl wins you’re going to get noticed. On the other hand, he only has 2 years experience as a head coach.

It's $3 million through the end of December, then drops to $1.5 million. It was $5 million in 2020.

Come on App, say it ain't so. We just lost our guy to Florida. Can't go losing your guy to friggin Duke!

Why owe App $3 million to go to Duke. Wait one more year and WVU might be open and the buyout is $1.5 then.

Unless Clark is looking for any increase in pay I think this move would be unlikely

Next year is a significant rebuild year and OC Ponce is a contender at FIU. His stock is will likely not be as high this time next year. But both Duke and FIU should look at someone with rebuild experience.

Cutcliff making 3,000,000 at Duke how much is App paying Clarke?

Funny how App fans’ responses to Napier leaving have been mostly peaceful and positive and the second a Shawn Clark rumor starts Southern fans are “haha get fukt App!”

Very telling.

Eh, doesn't matter. Clark won't be headed to Duke.

I highly doubt Clark leaves his alma mater, his self-described destination job, for Duke.

Duke...

Duke...

Let that sink in. App would be favored by around 20 points in a game against Duke, and would still likely be favored years down the road while Clark was there. Ain't happenin captain.

It was just a question, good Lord. Just trying to gauge the pay difference. Sensitive bunch. Probably gets him a pay raise. Also, App being favored over Duke is why they are looking for a new coach. Same reason we got a new one lol.

Contract extension is probably being worked on. Second year of a 5 year contract. Probably extend 2 more years a with more assistant coach money and restructured buy out.

I will give Coach Clark for having more sense than leaving APP State for Dook.
