Lovie Smith has at least one spot to fill on his roster for the upcoming season. Defensive Line coach Austin Clark has been hired by the Miami Dolphins to be the outside linebacker coach for the upcoming season. 

Clark, 30 was a huge hire for coach Lovie Smith two years ago, and he has been a very solid recruiter in his time for the Illini. Most notable last year or the class of 2019 he was responsible for bringing Moses Okpala, Keith Randolph, and Seth Coleman. Clark will be missed for his ability to coach raw talent, and the ability to bring in solid transfer talent. 

Congrats on your big move coach Clark! It will be fun to watch him on the sidelines in the NFL this upcoming season as hopefully, Miami can turn it around, Clark will be a huge part of that success.
