Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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.

Punch Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Van Pelt was hired by the Packers as the Running Backs Coach on February 13, 2012." http://en.wikipedia....i/Alex_Van_Pelt This might explain why GB has a crap running game.

l< j Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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. kj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modkins the last 3 Clements, van pelt, the Turk, Fairchild, gilbride had a couple years....

Punch Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Van Pelt was a QB 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D521646 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Clements was a great qb in the CFL for the Ottawa Roughriders. Or was it Rough Riders? 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. Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
