Take the clinical coordinator job at the small hospital. Generally at academic centers, there's no movement up for staff pharmacists. Since it's a small community hospital, you will have a chance to do a lot of stuff that would probably require more red tape at bigger hospitals and medical centers. Who knows, do the clinical coordinator at the small hospital for 3-5 years, develop some protocols, start some projects, and then you can go for a clinical coordinator position at an academic medical center.
Or you could stay at the small hospital as the clinical coordinator, learn everything you can from the director and perhaps you can replace the director one day.

What are your goals? How does each position align with those goals?
Can you work part-time as the clinical coordinator and part-time as a staff pharmacist at the community hospital with 50% or more being clinical work? You could get full-time work that way and board certification too.
Would you rather work half the year as an overnight pharmacist and get paid full-time to do it? It can be difficult to move out of overnights and back to days, but you could work part-time during the day on your week off to make extra money.
