As a previous fellow player with Clark as an OC. He showed a lot of loyalty to his team. He will never back down from an opportunity to help him team the best way possible. As a huge step up for Coach Clark. I feel he is ready for the challenge and will take the challenge head on with arms open! Congratulations Coach Clark… amazing pick up for the Pasadena bulldogs
Maxie’s big hire at BP is a Director of Recruiting. Does that mean recruiting in or out or both? That is the HC’s job at the high school level.
Born and raised ?
What high school did he go to?
He left the city along time ago. Another person representing Pasadena. The city wasn’t good enough when you were at upland. 3 years max. Pasadena is a tough place to coach.
1. 8 man football money , with private school expectation.
2. 2 star talent with a 5 star ego.
3.average parents with nfl expectation.
4. No feeder program connection.
5 . 5 Kids from the pop warner program at PHS went to Loyola . Another hand are going to st.Francis.
Very nice hire for the Bulldogs. Not the same type of self promoter as the previous guys but I hope kids stay in Dena.
Congratulations Coach Clark!
