The Packers have announced several changes to their offensive coaching staff, flowing from the departure of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin and the promotion of quarterbacks coach Tom Clements into the job previously held by Phibin.

As expected, former tight ends coach Ben McAdoo will be the new quarterbacks coach. McAdoo’s position will be filled by Jerry Fontenot, who slides over from running backs coach. And Fontenot’s spot will be filled by Alex Van Pelt, who spent the last two years coaching quarterbacks in Tampa. Van Pelt was the Bills’ offensive coordinator in 2009. He spent nine seasons as a quarterback with the Bills after a four-year stint as the starter at Pitt.

Also, John Rushing will work as offensive assistant/special teams and Joel Hilgenberg will work as assistant offensive line coach.
