It’s been 14 months since Livermore native Dan Clark left the University of Northern Iowa football staff to accept a position at Illinois State University. You could say he got out of his comfort zone. Now, looking back, he’s excited about his new surroundings. Clark, a 1991 Twin River Valley High School graduate and former Simpson College quarterback, is settling into his role as offensive line coach for the Redbirds and head coach Brock Spack. Clark, who has had other coaching stops at Simpson College (Indianola), Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge and the University of Iowa, is excited about the future of his career and his family in the central Illinois community of Normal/Bloomington. “It was another opportunity to build my resume and work with great people like coach Spack and his staff and continue to develop as a football coach,” Clark said. “It’s a new place and a new opportunity. I had been in Iowa my whole life.
