Big News. Coach Clink at Chico State Retiring

[larry legend33]

Just got the notice. Looks like they hired somebody outside for the athletic director position which was criminal to me given how much Coach Clink gave to that school. I know he wanted that role.

But deep down I think it was more family related as he wants to spend more time watching his son compete in wresting at Cal Poly SLO. Coach Clink is a friend to many of us on here and I wish him the best. He built one of the best D2 programs in the country. I doubt he's done for good. I could see him popping up as an asst D1 down the road but sounds like he's resetting for now.

Really big news but not a total shocker. Clink did a great job of building up that program. Chico State won less than eight games in each of hte previous three seasons before he took over

Agree streak. He did it the right way too.

Its a grind and can really wear on you and family. I'm sure in a few years he will surface somewhere. He's got more in tank !

This is big news. Clink’s done a great job at the helm for the Cats. Is he retiring at the end of this season or immediately?

Totally, my intel says immediately. Coach Cevin Meador is taking over. They have a really good roster this year. I would say a deep playoff team so he's in very good hands.

Greg is a wonderful person. A better human than coach which is the ultimate compliment. Honestly a lot of similarities to Coach Bennett from UVA.
