The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly not expected to hire an offensive coordinator but have hired Tom Clements to assist in the passing game.

The move first reported on Saturday was made official by the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Clements, 65, will coordinate the team’s passing game while also serving as quarterbacks coach.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury is expected to be the main play-caller with Clements assisting in the offense.

Clements coached the Green Bay Packers’ quarterbacks from 2006-11 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2012. He won a Super Bowl with the Packers in 2011.

Clements has coached the Buffalo Bills (2004-05), Pittsburgh Steelers (2001-03), Kansas City Chiefs (2000) and New Orleans Saints (1997-99) prior to his tenure in Green Bay.

This will be Clements’ first season coaching since 2016.

The Cardinals had interviewed six other candidates before deciding to reportedly not move forward with an offensive coordinator.
