Clark joins Dartmouth staff
Keith Clark, who spent the last 12 seasons as an assistant coach at Yale, has been added to the Dartmouth College coaching staff.
Clark joined the Yale staff as the offensive line coach before being elevated to associate head coach in 2003. He also spent time as the Bulldogs' offensive coordinator. Yale had a 70-49 record and won two Ivy League championships (1999 and 2006) while Clark was with the program.
Clark got his start in the Ivy League at Columbia, where he spent five years as the team's offensive line coach and run game coordinator.
"Keith is a great addition to our staff," Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens said. "He is a veteran of the Ivy League and has a deep understanding of what it takes to be successful on the field and on the recruiting trail in this conference. You cannot underestimate the experience he brings to the table and his ability to translate that experience into helping us become a better team."
Prior to his Ivy League service, Clark spent three seasons at Wagner College, serving as the offensive line coach, recruiting coordinator, special teams coordinator and strength coach. The Seahawks posted a 16-13 record with Clark on the staff.
Clark was a graduate assistant at Rutgers in 1988. He also spent one season as an assistant coach at Maine and one season at Lafayette. He served as the head coach of the Bolzano Jets in Italy for two seasons.
Clark has been a member of the American Football Coaches Assocation (AFCA) since 1987 and is chairman of the FCS Assistant Coach's Committee. He also has been a member of the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame since 1997.
"I am excited to be a part of a program that has such a great tradition," Clark said. "One thing that attracted me to Dartmouth was the college's commitment to football and athletics in general as evidenced by all the recent upgrades to the facilities. Another draw is Coach Teevens' vision for the program to restore the excellence for which the program is known."
Clark graduated from Lafayette in 1985. He was a three-year starter at offensive tackle for the Leopards.
