McCarthy's off season moves could very well have resulted in the Peter Principle adversely affecting the coaching staff. (The Peter Principle involves promoting people beyond their talents. It may have been introduced facetiously, but we’ve certainly seen it play out in the NFL. For example, how often have we seen successful OCs or DCs promoted to HC only to fail?) Clements was promoted to Associate HC/Offense and play caller, Bennett was promoted to OC and Van Pelt was promoted to QBs/WRs coach. Since we (at least I) have no idea what Bennett’s duties are he’s exempt from this discussion but we are seeing evidence the other two were promoted above their abilities. Dougherty has a good column about McCarthy taking back play calling duties which criticizes Clement's performance  (<a href="http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2015/11/27/mccarthy-needs-take-back-play-calling/76373426/" target="_blank">http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2015/11/27/mccarthy-needs-take-back-play-calling/76373426/</a>) and the performance of the WRs doesn’t reflect well on Van Pelt. And perhaps the WR coach should only have to coach the WRs, and not the QBs too?</p></blockquote><p></p>
