Fort Valley State
University head football
coach Deondri Clark has
asked to be relieved imme
diately of coaching duties
and reassigned to teaching
and staff responsibilities.
Clark stated: “As we
have discussed, I believe
that I have contributed sub
stantially to rebuilding the
Wildcat football program,
but I also feel that the time
has arrived for others to
continue that rebuilding
process.” “I wish them
every success,” Clark
added.
Vice President for
Student Affairs Dr. Terrance
D. Smith granted Clark’s
request. “Coach Clark
stepped in as the universi
ty’s athletic director and
head football coach at a time
of transition. His services to
Wildcat athletes and the uni-
Plans call for Clark to
assume instnictional respon
sibilities in health and phys
ical education; also play a
key role in working directly
with students in the Division
of Student Affairs.
A national search will
be undertaken to select
Clark’s successor. Wilson E.
Gossier Sr., FVSU’s interim
compliance officer, will
handle football operations
until a new coach is named.
The Wildcats finished a
winning season on Saturday,
Nov. 8, with a victory over
Stillman College.
Construction soon
begins on a new football sta
dium and student amenities
building to complement the
football program. By next
season, the team, alumni,
students, and fans will enjoy
a new home and welcome a
new coach.
