Shawn Clark

Shawn Clark (born August 16, 1975) is an American college football coach who is currently serving as the head football coach at Appalachian State University. He had been an assistant with the program since 2016, and was promoted to head coach following the departure of Eliah Drinkwitz.

Clark has cited the "culture, traditions, and family" of Appalachian State football being its greatest characteristics, and it is hoped that Clark will bring back some Jerry Moore-esque stability to a program that had lost Scott Satterfield to Louisville and Drinkwitz to Missouri in consecutive years, 2018 and 2019, as those coaches used successful tenures at Appalachian as stepping stones into "power conference" programs. In a nod to the Boone legend, Clark said at his introductory press conference there will always be a place for Jerry Moore at the Appalachian State football program as long as Clark is the coach.
