Dave Clawson is stepping down as head coach of Wake Forest, ESPN and The Athletic reported Monday.

Clawson, 57, made the decision to step down and plans to continue at the school in an advisory role, according to the reports.

Clawson came to Wake Forest in 2014 and helped the Demon Deacons reach a bowl game in seven straight seasons, winning five of them. They were ranked as highly as No. 10 in the AP poll in both 2021 and 2022, and they went on to win the Gator and Gasparilla Bowls in those seasons.

Clawson had a decorated FCS career before coming to Bowling Green, where he coached for five seasons. He is the only coach on record with a double-digit win season at four different Division I programs — Fordham (2002), Richmond (2007), Bowling Green (2013) and Wake Forest (2021).

In 200 FBS games, Clawson went 99-101 with a 5-5 record in bowl games.

Wake Forest’s season is over after a second consecutive 4-8 record meant no invite to a bowl game.
