Packers Announce Tom Clements Promoted to Offensive Coordinator

It wasn't a surprising move, but the amount of time it took for Green Bay to announce the promotion of quarterbacks coach Tom Clements to its open offensive coordinator position was.
It doesn't matter now. Clements is their guy.
A man mentioned as a candidate for the Steelers open offensive coordinator position, Clements was endorsed by QB Aaron Rodgers, and has the respect of the franchise, by all accounts.
From the Packers official web site:
"I'm happy that it's happened and I'm happy for Joe that he's a head coach, and I'm glad I was able to step into his place," Clements told packers.com on Thursday. "I've been a coordinator before, only for a few years. I've always wanted to get back to doing that and thankful that it's here in Green Bay. I think it's a great opportunity. We have a young team. We've had success over the past couple of years. We still have a lot of room to grow and I'm happy to be a part of it.
Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy said: "Tom has been an integral part of our success and our staff, making it an obvious decision to promote him to offensive coordinator. He has earned this opportunity and we look forward to continued offensive success in 2012."
The Steelers' offensive coordinator search continues, and even though it always seemed unlikely Clements would come back to the team he worked for from 2001-04, many felt he would have done well in Pittsburgh.

well, thats one door closed for us
GL to Tom Clements, one has to wonder how our QBC feels, not having to date, the same FO support for our OC job…
Well
We’ll see if an internal candidate is promoted now, which would indicate that there was some interest from both sides, possibly, for Clements taking this position. I still favor the outside hire myself.

It wasn't your connection...
…I’m in DC and was down till just now. I hope Neal had a good head of hair, because I’m sure he’s been pulling a lot out trying to get this back up.

Just brush off my humor...
…ok, that was cutting it close, I’ll trim the hair humor back a bit…
…your readers want to know: slicked back, bowl cut, tapered or squared off, comb-over, what?

I’m fairly certain he’s responsible for shutting the site down…

Use AdBlock if you're on Chrome or Firefox...
..saw the suggestion in another post earlier today, tried it at home, and it’s great; no ads, just black background, and no pasty white man with a ski mask making me feel really oogie being on the internet.

How did you block the big wallpaper ad?
I’d eliminated the banners…just need to kill the background ad now
Saw this coming
I was hopeful he would come to Pgh but once he got the endorsement from Rodgers I thought he would be promoted in GB.
I am intrigued though by Sullivan from the Giants. The article on him yesterday was good. I am not opposed to Haley but I like the idea of a QB or WR coach that is an up and comer.
+7 on Sullivan...
…-7^10 on Haley.

Shocking
