Brian Schottenheimer Drawing Interest From Rams, Alabama In Addition To Falcons

[.infamous]

If the Falcons really do have interest in Brian Schottenheimer to fill their vacant offensive coordinator post, they might want to move fast on an interview - the former New York Jets' play caller is apparently drawing lot of interest from newly-hired St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher, in addition to already having interviewed with the University of Alabama on Saturday.

Schottenheimer's name was part of a list NFL.com's Jason La Canfora confirmed earlier this week as potential targets from the Falcons organization. According to La Canfora, the Falcons have officially requested to speak with only two candidates, former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements.

Is there also a potential for a family renunion in Florida? If so, it could pit Schottenheimer against Atlanta twice a year - his father Marty has been mentioned as a potential candidate to replace Raheem Morris as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch shot down the idea of a father-son coaching combo:

Marty Schottenheimer is a candidate for the head-coaching job in Tampa Bay, but indications are that Brian wants to cast his own lot in the NFL rather than joining his father if Marty gets the Bucs' job.

Don't understand why people have interest in him. He's a shitty playcaller. Abandons the run way too quickly and really put Mark in shitty situations by forcing him to pass nearly every play despite it still being early in the game and the score close. We got so predictable this year.

He was hindered with a terrible QB, a locker room cancer in Holmes and two non feature backs.

I think he'll end up with the Rams.

I don't really understand why you have such a hard on for Mark Sanchez... That's what I don't understand, it's always everyone else's fault. When are you ever going to just accept the truth and admit the guy is not the answer at QB for the Jets?

So it's Mark's fault that Schotty abandons the run too early?

It's Mark's fault that his best receiver mails it in all season?

It's Mark's fault that he had minimal time in the pocket because of a terrible right side of the O-Line?

I've never said that Sanchez is a good QB. I have said all season long that he's average, which he is. He also still has a ton of untapped potential.
