PrintDuring the search for the new head coach of the Jaguars one name that was reportedly in the mix was Brian Schottenheimer, offensive coordinator of the New York Jets. The position instead went to Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey and Schottenheimer has since been relieved from his position in New York.
So it's not particularly surprising that ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Jaguars have contacted Schottenheimer about their vacant offensive coordinator position.
Jacksonville has contacted former Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer about becoming its offensive coordinator.

Schottenheimer reportedly had a meeting with owner Shahid Khan in New York that went "very well" according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. Schottenheimer served as quarterbacks coach for the Redskins in 2001, quarterbacks coach for the Chargers from 2002-2005 before accepting the position of offensive coordinator for the Jets in 2006.

THAT IS VERY BAD NEWS!! Schott is an awful coach who might be better off getting a college job.

he's so bad that they got to the AFC Championship 2 of the last 3 years.
You have to admit, Sanchez did look decent in the playoff games.

I have beaten this issue to death here in NY with the Jets fans
The Jets were a team that really thrived form possessing a top 5 defense both years. It just so happened they had Brian Schottenheimer as their offensive coordinator and he did not do anything in the playoffs both years that was really terrible. That does not mean he was a good coordinator who really deserved to get any credit for the success of the team in those playoff games.
Overall, Schottenheimer is just not the kind of guy that I feel a team bringing in a totally new staff should be eager to get. He is medicore, and last I checked, mediocirty is what Jaguars fans are sick of.

you have a really short memory
up until this last season he was considered one of the best young offensive coordinators in the league and one of the hottest coaching candidates around
Shake and Bake
Follow me on Twitter @Magicman904
so was Dirk Koetter
As is stands, I have been pretty skeptical of Schottenheimer for the past 2 or 3 years.

anyone who can make David Garrard look like a competent NFL quarterback must be doing something right.

Garrard...
couldn’t at least be considered competent based on his talent alone? I think he could at least get that distinction.
totally disagree
Garrard is competent. And that is it. If Koetter was doing something right, garrard would have looked even better, which with the exception of maybe one year, he did not.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Please no!!!
I have heard nothing but crap about him as an OC
didnt sanchez throw the ball like 50 something times in one game? Please someone else
And why would they want someone that is that inconsistent…

I'll be more worried IF he's hired. Also how much did Rex Ryan hold him down
The same arguements that JDR held back Dirk could apply to Schotty and Ryan
I have a question...
for the OC job, does Mularkey run the interview or Gene or Khan? I would guess Mularkey gets to pick a guy he likes best, right?

If they hire him as OC, I won't get season tickets!
joking. I’d kinda be surprised if he got the job.

Gonna get in on it.
Not sure where I will sit as my buddy is waiting to see what the corporate rates will run. We’re definitely in. I finally convinced my wife that it’s just as cost effective to get season tix as it is to buy them weekly and hope for a decent seat and parking space.
Have another buddy who works at Stellar Group who got tickets for $20 per game.

I for one
will not judge him off of an offense that had mark (over-hyped) sanchezas the signal caller. from what IVE seen, the jets ran a decent offense but the players they have ar all over rated. they have half an o-line, 1 reciever, and no running backs. shawn greene isnt a top 10-12 back. LT is over the hill along with plaxico. we know what happenned with santonio. i though his play calling was good.
the Jets gambled on experience and lost this year
team was always a ticking time bomb and the first bit of failure for Rex and they’re all going at each other and Rex is silent.

i do find it ironic
that rex’s fat mouth is closed right now. during the season he yaps like crazy and before the season he blurts out superbowl guarantees. But yea i agree they were old and it was a matter of time before this started hapening. I thought Rex’s antics were getting old too.
thing is, with a coach like that it's all or nothing
Next year, if the bottom falls out like this year, they’ll be calling for his head.

I also think
that the fact that he is such a (NAME) coach is why there wasnt a lot of hot-seat talk this year. his defenses rely on revis, and as a unit they dont generate pressure consistently.
I just mentioned that
because he never has been that impressive, to me. Only became a known name when Rex came and ground & pound was the thing in 09

I would like this
Living in New York, the fans here hate him, because of his play calling—but to be honest he’s running the offense the way that Rex Ryan wants. All the time I hear Rex Ryan saying “we are going to be a smash-mouth, run the ball team” and that’s with an over-the-hill LT…and then when Schotty tries to throw the ball, he’s doing it with a very inept Mark Sanchez, and then he gets thrown under the bus for it.
I think that given an offensive-minded head coach, he might actually flurish. Not to mention, even with Sanchez and LT, the Jets still have consistently averaged over 20 points per game under Schottenheimer.
He was run out of New York—but the NYers will soon discover that the inept offense is more a product of ancient players, inept QB, and a defensive-minded coach who wants to run the ball, than it was about Schotty’s offensive game-planning.
wow that's interesting...
Any news on Mel Tucker staying?

Im not against this move
He was in a bad situation in ny. With the aholes from rex to holmes. He will be nungry because he was prdtty much fired. And he seems like hs fits with whag mularkey is about.

lol TU forums will go nuts
Oh this is going to be funny.
Take stock in your lives, but leave your livestock alone
3 more years
of losing as long as Gene Smith is around. when will we admit that he is horrible and needs to go?
regardless of Gene being GM or not
it is more on the players to produce. Sure Gene has his issues, and this team would probably be better off with a better GM, but he is not a bad GM.

1. it won't be three more years of losing
2. most knowledgeable people don’t admit he’s bad
3. he doesn’t need to go
Section 442, RIP
"You think you know, but you don't know."
yes he gutted the team after 2008
But, 2009 and 2010 we were mathematically alive in the playoff hunt going into week 17. I’ve often said JDR did some of his best work those 2 years. This past year, 5-11 was about as good as expected given everything working against the team that was made public as well as the news that was not public til mid December. If anything, you have to wonder how much the decision by Wayne Weaver to sell the team impacted what the team could do on the field. I mean think about it:
Lame duck coaching staff and front office staff
$30 M under the cap

Like the McDonald's saying goes, " I'm loving it".
Mularkey’s offensive system and Schottenheimer . If the get weapons to use, it will be exciting to see. Huge change in Jaguar culture!
As long as he doesn't bring Holmes with him

According to Tania Ganguli
Schotty Jr (just like Koetter) has a good shot to become OC of Alabama too.

I also heard Koetter's name for Falcons OC
I say Ryan regresses big time under Koetter

What are you going to say if Koetter goes there and Ryan lights the world on fire?
Face it, Atlanta has better players.
If Ryan does well and Koetter is the OC
I will gennuinely be suprised. I will admit to that.
Koetter is extremely overrated and frankly is better off being a coordinator or head coach at the collegiate level. his playcalling is atrocious for one, and he does not properly utilize the talent that he does have.

Regardless....
of what anyone says, Koetter isn’t as bad of an offensive coordinator as some make him out to be. He has a really good ability to suit an offense to the strengths of his players. If he was to go to the Falcons, I’m sure he’d be more successful than he was here because they have more weapons and a veteran QB for him to work with. Me, for one, wouldn’t mind seeing that just to see how well he’d do.
I think Koetter is very above average
I think he’s been limited by personnel, honestly. I could see him doing very well in Atlanta, also.
I think Koetter was saddled with a staff that he knew was underqualified for their jobs
WR coach who was elevated from a QC guy
career WR coach who was a QB coach
Not to mention he tried to make a lateral move and was blocked.
I’d be a bit pissed as well. Last year he was Carolina cleaning house away from being the coach of the Broncos.

This is strange
but I was like, awww hell nooooo. Then after reading everybody’s comments, I’m changing my mind. All I remember the last three years is how shitty Sanchez has been. But maybe that’s just because Sanchez is shitty and not because of the OC.
Brian
Im not sold on this guy at all as our O C , but im gonna keep an open mind about it

ugh
I’m just looking at Sanchez’s lack of development and thinking this is a horrible idea.
there comes a point where you must ask is it the player or the coach?
Lots of murmurs from NYC think it’s on the quarterback himself.

I will say
from seeing Sanchez play so often, it is definitely him. Not saying Schottenheimer is not to partially blame, but Sanchez is just not as good as people thought he would be.
