Longtime Packers assistant coach Tom Clements thought his NFL career was over. Then Aaron Rodgers called.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Tom Clements was enjoying the good life, sipping Peniro beer with vino on the side while hanging out with his dog, when Aaron Rodgers interrupted his longtime quarterback coach’s retirement this offseason.
The Green Bay Packers coaching staff was in exodus. Nathaniel Hackett had been hired to be the Denver Broncos’ head coach, taking his PowerPoint skills and Austin Powers references with him. Luke Getsy was now a rival, banking his two years as Rodgers’ position coach into the Chicago Bears’ offensive coordinator job.
