One of Bishop Sheen's first "achievments" was to close the dioceses minor seminary, St. Andrew's and make it a prep school. He also changed confirmation to high school. When his successor moved it back to grammar school a large number of youth never received the sacrament. He also may have been the Bishop who closed the Major Seminary (St. Bernard's) and sent seminarians to St. John Fisher College.
I can not recall if Bishop Sheen was the immediate predecessor of Mathew Clark. Bishop Hogan was in there either between Bishops Kearney and Sheen or Bishops Sheen and Clark. In any event, most Rochester Catholics were not unhappy to see Bishop Sheen go.
