The Coaches & The All-Time Series
Robert Clardy begins his 5th season as the head coach of the Bearcats. The 2016 was historic for Clardy and the Bearcats, making their first ever NCAA Playoff appearance, National Ranking, and Conference Championship. Due to their success, Clardy was named 2016 GLVC Coach of the Year. In his 4 year stint, Clardy has helped collect 56 All-GLVC Player Awards, 6 All-Americans, and coached the 2015 GLVC Freshman of the Year. Clardy wasn't new to SBU when he took the head coaching reigns in 2015. Clardy played for the Bearcats from 2003-06, leading the team in total offense for 3 seasons and rushing and scoring for 2 seasons. He currently holds SBU's pass completion percentage record and sits top 10 in 11 SBU Career Records. Following his career as a player, Clardy joined the coaching staff as an assistant up until he was named head coach for the 2015 season. 
 
The Lindenwood Lions are led by head coach, Jed Stugart. The 2019 season marks his 3rd season under the head coaching helm at LWU. He has been a head coach for a total of 12 seasons with a 99-38 record. While in the MIAA last season, Stugart led the Lions to a 4-7 record (all games being conference games). All 4 of those wins came on the road. In Stugart's first season at Lindenwood, he led the Lions to their best season in 5 years.
 
The teams have met twice, Lindenwood taking both contests. The first contest was in 2012, SBU falling 14-35 and the second was taken by the Lions 27-35.
