Report: UCF hires ex-Appalachian State coach Shawn Clark as OL coach

Shawn Clark

Former Appalachian State head coach Shawn Clark has been hired as UCF’s offensive line coach, ESPN reported on Saturday morning.

Clark, 49, was fired earlier this month after compiling a 40-24 record with the Mountaineers, including 5-6 in 2024 — his first losing season. Clark had a 3-1 record in bowl games.

A two-time All-American offensive lineman at Appalachian State, Clark served as an assistant coach at his alma mater before taking the helm in December 2019.

Clark coached the offensive line for Kent State (2013-15), Purdue (2009-12) and Eastern Kentucky (2003-08).

Scott Frost has returned as UCF’s new head coach, replacing Gus Malzahn, who recently departed to become the offensive coordinator at Florida State.

Frost went 19-7 in two seasons (2016-17) at the school — including 13-0 in 2017 — before departing for Nebraska, his alma mater. He went 16-31 in four-plus years at Nebraska, which fired him three games into the 2022 season.

Frost is filling out his staff, announcing Friday the hiring of Mike Dawson as defensive run game coordinator and edge coach. Earlier this week, Alex Grinch was named defensive coordinator. Kenny Martin is remaining on staff as defensive tackles coach.
