Jason LaConfora: Dolphins could consider bringing in Brian Schottenhiemer

Sounds like his opinion.

 

To be fair, Schotty is well respected in league circles, did a nice job in SD developing Rivers and has done about all he can in NY given Sanchez's limitations.

Schotty's record as a coordinator is better than Mike McCarthy's was when he got the GB job. More to being a head coach than simply being a good coordinator. See Cameron, Cam.

 

It's not happening. The only links are Carl Peterson to his dad and Schottenheimer being a candidate before Tony.

I thought it was pretty clear they're going after an experienced guy. It will be Cowher, Gruden, or Fischer.

 

Jets fans seem to not like him...don't know what to think. I mean they've been to the AFC Championship game twice and a few playoffs...yet the offense seems to be blamed for their exits.

However, there will be TONS of rumors...this is just one in a big list of them. Prob not true.

 

He's already a guy Jets fans hate.

 

Some players suck no matter coaching. And he has coached him well enough to where he's performed in the playoffs and been to two straight championship games.

I'm not advocating him or suggesting he's my first choice, but it's no more outlandish that wanting Jay Gruden who's been a coordinator for all of 13 games and head coach in the arena league of all palces

 

One dude's OPINION. Your thread title is misleading.

 

Peterson did work with his Daddy in KC..jus sayin'..

 

Guys someone just said on espn that Ross really wants a big name coach even a college coach if nessecary.

Ross still wants Fisher , Gruden and Cowher but Bilick and Les Miles and one other pro coach is on the list. lets not go to hating MR Ross just yet.

if we have to do this I strongly sugest to you guys to get a hold Crash Jensen and Marino and have them talk some sense into our owner if need be.

 

Brian Schottenheimer is a pretty good coordinator. He managed an absolutely Herculean task of keeping his offense moving and effective with Mark Sanchez as a starter.

 

Jason LaConfora said, it must be true.

 

First off, this is LCF's opinion, not based on any fact.

Beyond that, with all due respect to Gary Stevens ... Schotty HAS made Chicken Salad out of Chicken S____ with Sanchez and the Jets.

 

Clearly stated as opinion from LaCanfora.

Personally, I think Schottenheimer might be a better head coach than OC. I'm not a huge fan of him as an OC.

Perhaps he'd look better with a better QB, but that's part of the fight they've had. Sanchez is limited, but feels they're limiting him. Would Brian give Sanchez more chances if not for Rex's run-play defense philosophy?

It's never a good look when your QB and offensive players believe your scheme/approach is limiting them.

Then again, Sean Payton once had his play-calling duties revoked by Jim Fassel. And the Giant offense took off thereafter.

 

LaCanfora also said Harbaugh was Miami-bound.

Feel better now?

 

they can't talk to him until their season is over.

 

It's also worth mentioning the Jets are currently 6th in the NFL in offensive points scored. That's amazing, given the talent.

What exactly is above-average on that offense? The offensive line and Dustin Keller? It sure isn't the running game, receivers, or quarterback.

 

Didn’t we get over poaching from the Jets when Chad Pennington took us to the playoffs and finished second in MVP voting?

I don’t want Brian Schottenheimer either, but you’re flying off the handle over La Canfora’s opinion.

 

It would be eternally rich if we hired Schottenheimer and actually, you know, won a Super Bowl. Jets fans would absolutely kill themselves. Especially after the debacle that was Bellichick's tenure as "HC of the NYJ"!!!!!!!

 

I'm sure the jet fans would be ecstatic!

 

God no.

 

Geez some of you overreact at every little statement that you read on the internet. Relax. It's just speculation on our BACKUP plan. key word = backup.

Our primary plan, and everyone out there knows this, is to get a high profile coach like Cowher, Gruden or Fisher. I firmly believe we get one of those three guys, all of which is better than Tony or Brian Schotty.

 

I disagree. He gets in trouble when he gives Sanchez too long of a leash. But the bigger the game, the more his play calling tightens up, and consequently the better Sanchez seems to play. He has a solid knack for calling the right play at the right time.

The fact that Jet fans might disagree means nothing to me. Coordinators are like offensive linemen. They rarely get credit for putting their players in the right situation, but f*ck up a call and fans are on them like white on rice.

 

As a Jets fan, I agree. Sanchez would be even worse than the miserable 21 TD/11 INT, 83.1 PR season he is having. Instead of there being 8 other QB's with more TD passes, there could be 10 or 11. Schottenheimer is the backbone what little offense the Jets have. With out his ingenious play calling they would never score a touchdown. I pray that you devils don't pry this football guru away from us. In fact, I am going to go light a candle right now.

 

You get to see his offence in action being run by Mark Sanchez. An offense that was still good enough to get to back to back AFC Championship games.

 

No, no. Vinny. He's a genius. Jets fans talk **** about him because they don't want other people to think he's any good. It's our secret....he's a football mastermind. I pray Miami doesn't get him. If you do, you can just pencil in Miami's name on the Lombardi Trophy.

 

You should have probably gone with more bite and less length if you wanted sarcasm.

The one feather in Sanchez' cap this year is that he's avoided interceptions. Except they managed to babysit him into doing that for part of last season. Emphasis on "part".

 

Marks limitations? Shotty is way too conservative with the play calling, im not saying Sanchez is all that, but its a fact that Shotty sucks as our OC.

 

He got a quarterback to the AFCG that literally could not handle throwing the ball to the left. He basically only read the right side of the field on non play-action passes for a good part of the season, including playoffs. And it worked.

 

He is a genius. Hope you get him.

 

Be as sarcastic as you'd like, but the problem isn't your offensive coordinator. You could put whomever you want in there, and as long as Mark Sanchez is your starting quarterback, you're going to have to scale your offense down or get burned.

 

You have your opinion and I have mine. Schottenheimer calls a miserable game 90% of the time. After getting 4 yards on a first down run, he'll call a wildcat play that nets 2. God forbid they should just line up and run a conventional running play that gets another 4. Makes sense to have rookie Jeremy Kerley quarterbacking the offense.

Maybe I am wrong about him. I really hope I get a chance to find out.

 

Spin it however you like, i hope you guys get him. Then we will revisit this midseason next year.

 

This past game Moore had a part in the calls for the offense, and it showed. Please god make this happen, i wish him success with you guys, just not against us.

 

Opinions are like ********, we all have one, going to be a LOT of opinions tossed about until Ross signs our new HC. I suggest we don't get angry (especially with each other) until the dust settles. THEN we can cuss each other's opinions out

 

This sounds to me like speculation based solely on Brian's last name.
