By STEVE REED The Associated Press

Appalachian State has fired head football coach Shawn Clark following the school’s first losing season since 2013. Clark was 40-24 in five seasons with the Mountaineers, but the team dropped to 5-6 this year following a 29-20 loss to Georgia Southern on Saturday. Clark had a 19-7 record in his first two full seasons after taking over for Eliah Drinkwitz, but the Mountaineers have failed to reach a bowl game in two of the past three seasons.
