The Green Bay Packers announced that they have promoted quarterbacks coach Tom Clements to offensive coordinator. "Tom has been an integral part of our success and our staff, making it an obvious decision to promote him to offensive coordinator," head coach Mike McCarthy said. "He has earned this opportunity and we look forward to continued offensive success in 2012." A Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback at Notre Dame in the 1970s before embarking on an NFL and Hall of Fame CFL playing career, Clements has coached quarterbacks for the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers and spent two seasons as the Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator before joining the Packers in 2006. Clements interviewed for head coaching opportunities at Penn State University and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this off-season. Clements replaces Joe Philbin, who is now the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. With Mike McCarthy called the plays, the Packers offense is expected to remain the same.
