Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson resigned Monday, ending an 11-year run by saying he had given ”everything I had” for the program and school.
Clawson’s tenure included guiding Wake Forest to 11 wins and a trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in 2021. But the Demon Deacons had gone just 4-8 in the past two seasons.
In a statement released by the school, Clawson said “the timing is right” to step into a new role at Wake Forest.
“Coaching at Wake Forest has been the honor of my career,” Clawson said. ”This is a special place with extraordinary people, and I am deeply grateful for the relationships I’ve built over the last 11 years. Together, we achieved things that many thought impossible, and I step down knowing I gave everything I had for this program and university.”
