Packers' new OC

[Pugger]

Go over to packers.com and check out Clements' bio. Very impressive indeed.

[Patler]

Who would be surprised if Rich Gannon became the QB coach?

I would be. I don't think MM looks at QB coach as an entry position into the coaching ranks, and I don't believe Gannon has any coaching experience.

[smuggler]

Gannon is the shit, though.

In his Tuesday radio show, Rodgers mentioned the name Billy Joe Tolliver as a possibility for QB coach. He said that McCarthy has a long relationship with him and Rodgers was impressed with his knowledge.

[smuggler]

That would be an interesting hire. ~.~

That would be the O line, right?

Wan't he a caddy for Brett one year? Or was that the other Billie Joe?

[woodbuck27]

We expected that was the best and / or logical move. Good.

[Patler]

Sure was for Campen, wasn't it? Not much between coaching high school and taking over the O-line in GB. Just two years QC and 1 year assistant O-line.

[Patler]

I think it was training camp only. I don't think he ever made the roster in GB, did he?

[vince]

I don't remember Tolliver ever being on the Packer roster, which doesn't mean he wasn't.

Rodgers said that Tolliver was being discussed as QB Coach back when Clements was hired and McCarthy likes him. He would have been McCarthy's backup QB in New Orleans I think. Rodgers said he's gotten to know Billy over the years and would like him as well, although he said he didn't know if it was even a remote possibility at this point.

Patler is right again, unless you added this last sentence to Wikipedia qucikly...

A graduate of Boyd High School and Texas Tech University, Tolliver was selected 51st in the 1989 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. He started 19 games in two seasons at San Diego before being traded to Atlanta, where he saw playing time as a backup for three seasons. In 1994, he became one of three starting quarterbacks for Houston, then became the quarterback of the Shreveport Pirates during their final season of activity. After not seeing playing time in 1996, Tolliver played for both Atlanta and Kansas City in 1997. He then started 11 games for New Orleans in two seasons, but did not take the field in 2000. A stint with Green Bay in the 2001 offseason was the last stop in his professional career.

I never thought of Billy Joe Tolliver as a student of the game.

But maybe that's what happens when your parents name you "Billy Joe." I suppose if his name were "Reginald Tolliver III" I'd probably think he was a Rhoades Scholar.

Rhodes Scholar.

[swede]

Rhodes Scholar.

As long as he's not a Ray Rhodes scholar.

He is still trying to get that fixed.
