He's only been on the job for two years, coming in to manage the project after the MCAS disaster. In some sense he's the easy person to eject.

I don't think the individuals really matter that much here. The point to firing executives in charge of big failures is to incentivize the ones remaining to get their ships under control before another disaster. Clark clearly failed on that front, but again the 737 MAX program isn't the end of Boeing's problems.
