I did a post on potential offensive coordinators for the Kansas City Chiefs. I am going to follow a suggestion in a comment box on another potential offensive coordinator.
Tom Clements: Clements has had an interesting career to say the least. He was the starting quarterback for Notre Dame from 1972 to 1974, winning the National Championship in 1973.
After graduation, he went into the Canadian Football League and was the quarterback for the Ottawa Rough Riders. Clements briefly left the CFL for the NFL, appearing on the Chiefs roster for a short period. He then returned to the CFL and threw two consecutive 4,000 yard seasons.
After leaving professional football, Clements practiced law.
In 1992, he was hired as the quarterbacks coach for Notre Dame. He then went on to be the quarterbacks coach in the NFL, serving with the Saints, Chiefs, and Steelers. While with those teams, three of his quarterbacks made the Pro Bowl, including Kansas City's Elvis Grbac.
He then took the offensive coordinator position with the Buffalo Bills in 2004, but after a front office shakeup was released in 2005. In January of 2006, he took the quarterbacks coach job with the Green Bay Packers. Since then, the Packers have been on the rise and Aaron Rodgers has become an elite quarterback.
Clements would definitely be welcomed back with open arms to Kansas City if offered the offensive coordinator position. But can a man with as much experience as Clements handle coach Haley's coaching style?
