Why Brian Schottenheimer Has a Good Shot at Landing the Jacksonville Jaguars' Job

well thanks for that. I now have to spend the last 30 minutes of my day picking up the pens, pencils, papers, magazines, coffee cups, and everything else that fell on the floor when i stood up to cheer and flipped the desk upside down in excitement.

are you his agent ?

I edited out the fake reports about him getting the job. The rest of the post can stay, but this is a site people come to for actual news.

Sure, they might want to cheap out, but there are other unproven coordinators who have coached SUCCESSFUL offenses. I like the points you make though, they almost made me optimistic for a second. It just seems like there were constant reports of players not believing in Schottenheimer, that the Jets organization sweeps under the rug and claims it’s all hearsay. From David Clowney tweets, to Derrick Mason and the wide-outs having a talk with Rex that never happend… On top of the fact that the offense was bad, really bad, by a lot of statistics provided by users of this site. I just can’t see someone trying to polish this turd.

When they could have let his contract expire this year and figure out what direction they wanted to go. If they had even the slightest feelings that they were under-achieving at all, why extend him? I just think they genuinely like the guy and are holding valuable veteran players responsible. Personally, I think Shotty would make a great coach at the college level, he loves all the gadgety, end-aroundy, wild-catty, type plays.

His Bengals offense was pretty darn good this year with a rookie QB and WR. That job is Gruden’s if he wants it.

sure all his teams in bmore sucked on offense but he most certainly is an offensive coach

this post makes me think there is actualy a chance he could go there. lets hope

Why!?!?! Just kidding. I thought it made for some fun in an otherwise down and depressed town. Sometimes it’s good to add some levity to the day. In any case, I think there is a pretty good case that he gets hired by the Jaguars. He’s cheaper than the really established guys, and still young enough and more established than the one year wonders.

Are there any college HC positions that interest him?

They are trying to figure out which coordinator gives them the best shot at having a productive offense. More than that, the offense will probably change, and they don’t know what kind of offense they want to run. That’s why they haven’t fired Schottenheimer as well, they haven’t targeted a coach that runs a specific offense.

I’m hoping the Jags FO will only focus on Schotty’s “success” with “developing” Drew Brees and ignore the whole 25th ranked Jets offense thing.

Are there any other teams in the league that have an “offensive consultant”? I mean they were trying to sweep this under the rug all season long, saying it had nothing to do with Schottenheimer. Even when they announced they were dragging his 75 year old, ass, out of his home in N.C. it had nothing to do with son of Marty’s perfomance. No Shotty’s doing a great job, we just need someone to gameplan for upcoming opponents. No Shotty is a fantastic coach, we just feel that with Tom Moore here full time, at practices and games, it can’t HURT or chances. It’s starting to get insulting, the way Mike T. and Rex speak like everyone is retarded. Giants fans have been mulling about firing Coughlin for years, but at least he holds people responsible and is kind of honest.

When there defense couldn’t stop a nose bleed. Did they cut and trade every player and have a complete defensive overhaul? No, they replaced the coordinator and got the group they had to produce. This is how the Jets should be approaching things. This whole, “we’re sticking the course” mantra is such B.S. What course? Every season there is a complete overhaul of players and not the system itself. We’re sticking the course, but every season there’s a whole new set of receivers, O- lineman, tailbacks…
