Wasn't Clements the OC in Buffalo a few years ago?
Tom Clements has a decision to make...does he go to Miami and call plays and have a chance to be a HC somewhere or does he stay behind the scenes in Green Bay as their OC?
McCarthy might let Clements go and replace him with some of the other talent in the Packers coaching ranks.
Clements is already 58 and wouldn't get a true shot for at least two years, I'd think. Does he want to take that on at 60? I think he'd be content with an OC position and nothing more.
No Packers coach has spent as many seasons with McCarthy as tight ends coach Ben McAdoo. He was with McCarthy in New Orleans and San Francisco. When McCarthy joined the Packers, McAdoo followed.
In sampling the Packer message boards, as much as everyone liked Philbin and wished him well, they didn't think it would be a big deal to replace him
