According to sources, Jax State's Bill Clark will be new UAB football coach. In 5 years Clark will be the subject of "where are they now?"

If I were JSU, I'd give Bill Clark a blank check and if I were Bill Clark, I'd take the offer. UAB is where coaching careers go to die.

Bill Clark leaves like a thief in the night from JSU to go to a bottom 5 FBS team in UAB. Good luck with your raise and your shittt team

Bill Clark expected to be the new head coach at UAB.

Has it been vacant at ALL yet?

It's the worst-kept secret ever.

Someone with their athletic department said on twitter that he no longer works there. It may have deleted, but it was there.

These grapes! They're just so damn sour!

So according to them we are a crap program & we shouldn't do anything to get out of our crappiness like hire a good coach, but instead we should just relish our crappiness.

The truly funny part is that there's hardly a kid on their roster that would be there if UAB had offered.

That's a private JSU Wordpress Blog that branched off from a Twitter/Facebook feed based on sharing other articles and retweeting other people. Even their own Twitter feed on their right hand side says nothing is official on either side. They don't even have the decency to have their own domain name.

Hmmmm. We done been scooped....

Somehwere out in East Alabama, many football fans at a top rated party school are starting to realize that the UAB Head Football Coach job sucks less than the JSU Head Coach Job. And that is one tough and bitter pill.

I just hope we aren't as catty when Clark leaves us in 4 years. Or 3 if the case may be. (I hope)

For some it could depend on where he goes when he does leave.

Just because the UAB job pays more doesn't necessarily make it a better job. I believe the UAB job is much more difficult.

It's not your fault. The only reason that little snippet article was written is because there's nothing else out there and they knew it would get shared on social media and message boards. It worked. I've seen it littered all over my feed in the last hour.

I didn't say better. I said sucked less.

No doubt. A lot of places I go to work I keep waiting for them to tell me "Mike Rowe was here filming last week".

Which is exactly what he was saying.
