Packers coach Matt LaFleur announced Friday that he hired Tom
Clements as quarterbacks coach. Clements spent 11 of his 22
seasons as an NFL assistant with the Packers, serving as
quarterbacks coach (2006-11), offensive coordinator (2012-14)
and associate head coach/offense (2015-16).
Most recently, he spent two seasons (2019-20) working with Kyler
Murray and the Arizona Cardinals as pass game
coordinator/quarterbacks coach.
During Clements' time in Green Bay, the Packers finished in the
top 10 in the NFL in scoring offense and total offense nine
times. With Clements on staff, Rodgers was named the league's
MVP twice, and became the first quarterback in NFL history to
have a 100-plus rating in six consecutive seasons (2009-14).
Clements also has been the quarterbacks coach of the New Orleans
Saints (1997-99), Kansas City Chiefs (2000) and Pittsburgh
Steelers (2001-03) and served as the offensive coordinator for
the Buffalo Bills (2004-05).
Clements was a star player at Notre Dame and was the quarterback
of the school's 1973 national championship team.
Rodgers won the MVP award for the fourth time in 2021 and hasn't
said whether he plans to retire, return to the Packers or seek
to be shipped to another team. The Denver Broncos have been
mentioned as a potential destination since the hiring of
Nathaniel Hackett -- Green Bay's former offensive coordinator --
as head coach.
