App State Extends Contract Of Football Coach Shawn Clark

December 16, 2021 By Richard C. Gilbert

Appalachian State football Shawn Clark is getting a contract extension of two years through the 2026 season. And though it won’t come with a raise in base salary, boosts in bonuses sweeten the deal.

Clark will coach the Mountaineers (10-3) in the Boca Raton Bowl in Florida at 11 a.m. Saturday (ESPN) against Western Kentucky. Appalachian State has won bowl games in six consecutive seasons.

Clark, a 1998 Appalachian State graduate, has led his teams to a 20-6 record in his two seasons.

He was hired as App State’s offensive line coach in 2016 by Scott Satterfield and stayed on the staff as assistant head coach under Eliah Drinkwitz in 2019 before assuming the head coaching position.
