“Retiring as the UAB head football coach is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Bill Clark wrote in a statement, “but my future health and well-being depend on it.”
“I have reached this difficult decision after consultation with a number of world-class medical experts and much family discussion, reflection and prayer,” Clark’s statement said. “Having undergone a previous back surgery, extensive physical therapy, shots and chiropractic therapy, I have exhausted all of my options. Due to the extreme physical demands placed on a head coach, it is clear to me. It’s time to pass the torch and try and get well.
Clark spent eight years and six seasons as the UAB head coach. He retires with a 49-26 record, three Conference USA West titles, two C-USA championships, four bowl trips and two bowl victories. In his last game in December, UAB beat No. 13 BYU in the Radiant Technologies Independence Bowl. It was the highest-ranked opponent the Blazers have beaten in program history.
In addition to winning championships, Clark was a driving force behind the formation of the UAB Athletics Foundation and the construction of the on-campus Football Operations Center, the first capital project dedicated to football in university history. The program’s success also contributed to the construction of multi-purpose Protective Stadium at Uptown, where UAB football is the anchor tenant, playing beneath a facade that reads, “Home of the UAB Blazers.
