Packer head coach Mike McCarthy said of the promotion, “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.”
Clements' most obvious success is his work with Aaron Rodgers, who over the past two seasons has emerged as the league's premier passer.
While Clements was passed over after interviewing for the head coaching positions at Penn State University and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he is happy to remain in Green Bay.
“I’m not disappointed. Being a head coach would be great. I did interview with Penn State and Tampa, but all along I’ve said this would be a tough place to leave. It’s a great football town, the fans are great, we’re a young team and have a chance to be good for a long stretch of time. It would’ve had to have been the right situation to go. I wasn’t looking to leave just to go, because this is a great place to be,” Clements said.
