Lovin' On - Dave Clawson

I think we nailed it last week. Our Lovin' On formula was so good it caused Duke to "un-Duke" and play...well, like us! Therefore, we continue this week.

I introduce you to Wake Forest Head Coach: Dave Clawson

Clawson is on his 4th heading coaching job. Prior to WFU (2014), he was the head whistle at Fordham (1999-2003), Richmond (2004-2007) and Bowling Green (2009-2013). He took a year off from head caoching to be the Offensive Coordinator for Tennessee (2008) under Phat Phil when previous favorite coach David Cutcliffe left for Duke.

CDC is from Youngstown, NY and is 47 years young.

family
Apparently this is CDC with his family. No idea who they are. Let's just call them "the wife and kids"

WFU is 2-8 on the season, with wins against Gardner-Webb and Army. But, gosh darn-it they try hard.
the black knight
No one defeats the Black Knight! All right...we'll call it a draw!

Umm, who's Dave Clawson?

He has lots of forehead.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

He tried his best while at Tennessee. Nothing could have helped that sinking ship sabotaged by it's own AD. Dave is a good guy for trying.

Dave holds the microphone with 2 fingers and a thumb...he doesn't want the microphone to feel overwhelmed...that's very considerate.

The CDC is actually named after him due to his work in studying the control of infectious diseases

Dave Clawson is so respectful of Wake Forest's greatest coach that he did not tell anybody that he is not Jim Grobe in order to keep his legacy alive. He has been so successful at it, that to this very day few people know of Dave Clawson.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Dave Clawson didn't want to rock the boat upon entering his first season as coach and has therefore not handed any ACC team a loss.

Dave Clawson sorts his recycling.

Dave Clawson thinks those fans at UVa are "a sissified girly men" for wearing bowties to games.

Dave Clawson thinks he has better odds playing UVa than playing a MAC school.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Although I absolutely love that he has never beaten us, can we all agree there can be no Loving On - Mike London. NOT NOW. NOT EVER.

We will figure something else out...but there will be no Lovin' On - Mike London...

Perhaps a Jokin' On - Mike London, where everyone tells their favorite Mike London joke. Don't want to derail this thread, but that could be epic.

I disagree, I love Mike London. He's the best thing that's happened to our program since Al Groh was hired

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

I love Mike London, he kindly provides wins for us every year!

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

...every decade

Why not? I think we all can agree we hope he's LOLUVA's coach forever. That's kind of being nice. Right?

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

Dave left a great squad for Mike London at Richmond, allowing him to springboard to UVA, which has been great for VT.

omg 47 seconds too late :(

I just sit on my couch and b*tch. - HokieChemE2016

Still bitter that London won the whole kit and caboodle for UR courtesy of Clawson's recruiting, then abandoned us for UVA leaving two total dumpster fires (well, three really...) for seasons in his wake.

Dave Clawson recruited all of the players that Mike London used to win the national title at the University of Richmond.

Dave Clawson therefore hates Mike London and is a good guy.

I just sit on my couch and b*tch. - HokieChemE2016

Even better, Dave Clawson's good work at Richmond got Mike London hired at UVA. Hooray for Dave Clawson.

Dave Clawson puts together Ikea furniture without directions and with no leftover pieces because he is such a boss.

The Dude Abides

The United Way is pondering a name change to The Dave Clawson Way.

He's just that nice.

Leonard. Duh.

Dave Clawson knows how to properly use timeouts...

When Dave Clawson ices kickers, he only does it once...especially when the kick is under 30-yards, because, really LOLUVA?

Dave Clawson knows John Galt, but has never heard of Atlas Shrugged.

Dave Clawson appreciates and enjoys Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Dave Clawson shows The Holy Grail to people who haven't seen it without spoiling the jokes.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

I'm not sure that's even possible.

That's what makes him so AMAZING

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Dave Clawson is such a nice guy, he's sending David Cutcliffe a hand-written sympathy note for what's happening in tonight's game. Then he's sending Larry Fedora something from Edible Arrangements, just so he won't feel left out.

"Exit light..."

Dave Clawson lets his little brother play as Mario.

I was going to use a different gif but this brought back too many good memories.

Dave Clawson doesn't mind if people ask him if he is related to Jimmy Clausen; even if they don't spell their names the same.

The Dude Abides

He also doesn't mind if you ask him his favorite brand of pickles.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Liar Liar always gets a leg. One of Jim's best.

Dave Clawson, otherwise known as "The Claw" actually takes these toys to a better place

But, doesn't Clawson means he is the son of Claw?

I would be confused if his name was Clawditter.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Maybe his nickname should be claw hammer...

Dave Clawson took the head coaching job at Wake...which means he's not so focused on his career that he'd neglect the better things in life.

Think of it this way: every group picture needs someone to stand behind everyone else and David Clawson fills that role well.

Last offseason, David Clawson had a small acting part in a Snuggies infomercial.

david clawsons so nice he doesnt mind that he takes all the blame while eli manning is actually the head coach.
