Wake Forest football coach Dave Clawson has resigned after 11 seasons with the Demon Deacons and will remain with the university in an advisory role.

Almost like, and I’m just spitballing here, “I’m not good at all in this new portal / NIL culture but I’ll be happy to stick around and advise you about it.”

Also 25 years as a head coach, he might jus tbe ready to retire. i'd liek to retire at 55 so... 57 is good enough,

College football lost a good coach.

Clawson is a great man. Recruited me when I was in HS. No question he is sick of the NIL. And after 7-8 years making over $3m in Winston Salem, I am sure he's happy to call it a career. Apparently, he made almost $5m last season.

My Wake Forest friends will not be happy. Sorry to see a class act and good coach leave the profession.

If Clausen can’t win on that budget, who would?

 

[RamblinRed]

Hard to blame him. Good coach who did probably about as good as job as you could given the situation where he was at.
Wake is going to be a very difficult job to win in - probably even moreso in the new model. Small, academic focused school with a limited alumni base that is likely to limit its NIL capabilities.
Realistically probably one of the 5 worst power conference jobs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them go G5 when the conference falls part.

 

[kg01]

The gap between real schools and fake ones is just widening. Sad.

Difficult enough to win there before NIL and portal. Many others have tried and failed.

Sign of the times: FSU’s Mike Norvell giving back $4.5 million in salary ahead of athlete revenue share era

It's the third such public move from a college football coach in the last two weeks.

Norvell taking a pay CUT. Coaches taking paycuts!? to get players paid. Should have happened 40 years ago.

Jeff Monken?

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

Wake Forest is a golf school. Should abandon football and buy a nice golf resort.

Go Jackets!

Jeff Monken?

Monken ain't leaving army. The academies are the last places where you don't have to **** around with NIL ****.

You say this as their running back entered the portal. I probably would’ve thought the same until that happened. I don’t know how that works with the commitment you’re supposed to give to the military. They do appear to deal with it less at the academies.

You can always leave the academies by washing out.

I can see leaving Army for Wisconsin, or Indiana, or another school with an alumni base and funding. Monken is better off at Army than at a lot of programs--especially Wake

They have always gotten paid as cadets.

Yeah but you owe them money if you do. I remember the discussion when i was deciding if I wanted to go to Naval Academy

 

[FredJacket]

My understanding (quick googling)... service academy cadets/midshipmen have no service obligation as long as they transfer prior to start of Jr year. Udoh is in this category.

This applies to all enrolled... not just athletes.
