Early life and playing career

He caught his big break in the 1988 Orange Bowl when he replaced a suspended George Mira Jr., where he had an outstanding game and was voted Orange Bowl MVP.

Clark was drafted in the third round in the 1990 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.[2] He played two seasons in the National Football League (NFL), from 1990 to 1991 with the Bengals and the Seattle Seahawks, and two with the Orlando Predators in the Arena Football League.[3]

Clark began his coaching career at James Madison University, coaching defensive ends from 1998 to 1999. He then coached special teams and linebackers for three years (2000–2003) at Liberty University. In 2004, he became defensive coordinator for Florida International University (FIU). In 2006, Clark became the defensive line coach at the University of South Florida in his hometown of Tampa for one season before returning to FIU as the defensive line coach in 2007. In 2009, he became the defensive coordinator at Hampton University. In February 2010, Clark left Hampton to join Dave Wannstedt's coaching staff as linebackers coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Wannstedt had coached Clark at Miami.
