Disaster Index: 5.1 Entry: Legacy Qualification Cause: A managerial reign ending with the precise emotional register of a verdict: strong legacy acknowledged, relief also recorded. Category: Emotional / Historical Evidence: Seven years. Two major tournaments reached. No knockout round. The departure produces simultaneous gratitude and exhale — which is its own kind of finding. Historical precedent: Scotland has ended managerial tenures before with similar dual-register responses. The relief and the respect have tended to arrive in the same sentence. Affected parties: Scottish supporters processing the gap between what Clarke delivered and what the wilderness years made that feel like; the incoming management structure now inheriting expectations that have been upgraded once already. Immediate outlook: The Index records legacy and relief as co-existing conditions. The next appointment will be asked to resolve what Clarke clarified: that qualification is no longer the ceiling.
