| able to step into his place," Clements said. "I've been a coordinator before, only for a few years. I've always wanted to get back to doing that and I'm thankful that it's here in Green Bay. "I think it's a great opportunity. We have a young team. We've had success over the past couple of years. We still have a lot of room to grow and I'm happy to be a part of it." Clements has also served as the quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers (2001-03), Kansas City Chiefs (2000) and New Orleans Saints (1997-99). |

I didn't offer him any titles. He wanted to look at other places." Spagnuolo did and is set to become the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints. He left Philadelphia after eight seasons to become the defensive coordinator for the division-rival Giants in 2007, and spent two years with New York before taking the Rams' top job in 2009. |
