Football League officials have announced the hiring of former NFL
All-Pro and Washington Redskins Super Bowl champion wide receiver Gark
Clark as the new Head Coach of the Baltimore Charm. Clark will replace
Rick Reeder, who was released last week due to a violation of the
league’s conduct policy as well as leading the Charm to a losing record
during his tenure.
Clark,
an all-time NFL great, brings the experience, football knowledge, and
intensity that the Baltimore Charm have been missing since the
franchise’s premiere. Ravin Caldwell, a two-time Super Bowl linebacker,
and John Booty, an NFL great who played 8 years in the NFL as a
defensive back, will join Clark on the sidelines as assistant coaches.
“Having
played at the highest level and biggest stage in football, our approach
as a coaching staff and team will be to get to that same pinnacle in
the LFL. Baltimore is an incredible football town, as proven by their
support of the Ravens. Now it’s time to bring that spotlight and support
to the Charm. That only comes from winning,” said Clark.
Clark
will be at the helm of a team that boasts its best roster since
launching as a franchise in 2010 and is led by Angela Rypien, the
daughter of his former quarterback, Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien. The
aforementioned Rypien should develop in a offensive scheme that will
allow her to develop her passing game behind a solid running attack and
much improved defense.
LFL
Global Chairman Mitchell Mortaza had this to say about the arrival of
Gary Clark to the LFL, “As a Redskins fan, I remember our glory days of
the late 80s and early 90s… of course Gary was at the heart of those
winning teams. Having met with Gary, you get an instant sense of his
commitment to bring that winning culture to the Charm. We felt this
franchise needed better guidance and a shift in mentality. Gary and his
staff will bring just that”.
