Alumni update: Tom Rossley

Former Packers offensive coordinator Tom Rossley has been reunited with former Packers coach Mike Sherman at Texas A&M University.

Rossley, 61, will be the Aggies' quarterbacks coach and a "senior assistant" to Sherman, according to the Austin American-Statesman and other sources. He was head coach at Southern Methodist University in Dallas from 1991 to 1996 and was the Packers' offensive coordinator from 2000 to 2005.

"Tom was running a version of the college spread offense years ago as a head coach at SMU," Sherman was quoted as saying. "He will be relied on heavily to develop our quarterback position, as well as contributing in the creation of our offensive identity."

Rossley didn't take another job after leaving the Packers, but was a guest coach in training camp for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League last summer, according to the Regina Leader-Post.
