I was watching the Green bay game and thought I saw Alex on the sidelines and sure enough it's him. Always liked him as a backup and am Glad to see he still coaching.

He was the Bills OC from 2004-05--- I see Van Pelt didn't join the Bills' coaching staff until 2006 though, so maybe that's not necessarily the connection.

Why is that?
Clements was a great qb in the CFL for the Ottawa Roughriders. Or was it Rough Riders?

This might explain why GB has a crap running game. Pill as the Bills QB coach and then OC under Jauron was horrid.

A good Bills trivia question would be to name the Bills OCs of the past 10 or 12 years. I know I can't do it.

I was one of the few that think he did a good job as off. coordinator. By the end of the season (under Fewell) the Bills had a great running game.

Gosh....
Modkins the last 3
Clements, van pelt, the Turk, Fairchild, gilbride had a couple years.... This 6 should be about 10 years sadly (perhaps more sadly I may have missed one but I think that's it

Yes, he was also our Offendive Coordinator for 1 year before Gailey was hired. I referred to him as "our former OC" to further indicate I don't want him back in that capacity.

Actually it was the Hamilton T-Cats, and Rocky Dipietro was his slot back (similar to TE in the NFL) and they were a great tandem.
