I didn't have a lot of interaction with Dan Clark, but when I did, he was a great guy.
You might know him as Dallas Clark's brother. You might know him as an Iowa graduate assistant, a role he held the last three seasons. Now, get to know Dan Clark as a defensive assistant coach for Northern Iowa.
I was happy to see this. Great guy.
From UNI sports info:
Dan Clark, a native of Bode, Iowa, will be added as a defensive coach for the Panthers this fall. Clark served the previous three years as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Iowa. Clark assisted with the Iowa offense. Clark joined the Iowa staff after serving as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Iowa Central Community College for seven seasons (2000-06). Clark served as an assistant coach at Simpson College for five seasons (1996-00) after serving as a student assistant coach there in 1995. Clark was a four-year member of the Simpson College football team as an undergraduate (1991-94) and was the starting quarterback in his final three seasons. Clark attended Twin Rivers High School as a prep, earning all-state honors while leading his team to the state playoffs in his final three seasons. His brother Derrik played football at Iowa State University and his brother Dallas was an All-American tight end for the Iowa Hawkeyes who now plays for the Indianapolis Colts. Clark earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from Simpson College in 1995 and is pursuing a master's degree in Sports Management.
