Richt also named him QB coach, which is particularly hilarious because Drew Brees got good in San Diego immediately after Schottenheimer left.

But again, volume does not equate success, they were 11th and 5th in rush DVOA those seasons. In five of his nine seasons as an OC, his offenses were at or below the league average in attempts. His 20 Jets were 1st and 2nd in rushing attempts, and 1st and 4th those years in rushing yards. Schottenheimer’s teams were good at neither. But running the ball and being good at running the ball are not the same. The only real appeal is that Georgia has a seemingly endless supply of running backs, and Schottenheimer likes runs the ball. Schottenheimer’s first five years of employment in the NFL was because his father was the head coach, he then worked for Eric Mangini, Rex Ryan and Jeff Fisher, three coaches who are even better at killing their own offenses than the oppositions’, in part because they hired Schottenheimer. What’s the appeal? That his dad was Marty? Nepotism runs high in coaching. His offenses were never good, play calling stinks, and he’s has no real track record of developing young players. To replace Bobo, Mark Richt hired… Brian Schottenheimer. Mike Bobo took the head coaching job at Colorado State, which was a good move for him and for the Rams. That’s greatly illustrated here in Georgia, where there will be two “what the hell they doing” hires made, at the Falcons and at the University of Georgia.įirst, UGA. When Todd Grantham is in a position to say no, it’s a really bad job market. Not just a head coach but a coordinator too. John Fox takes his conservative-to-a-fault game managing to the implosion in Chicago, the Raiders spun the wheel of crappy retread head coaches and landed with Jack Del Rio, and San Francisco booted their best coach since Bill Walsh and replaced him with a guy who can’t speak. You should have just taken the year off Doug. Doug Marrone quit his job in Buffalo to not be hired by the Jets and had to settle for offensive line coach in Jacksonville, hopefully for him just a stop before taking some ACC job next year. Todd Bowles fits that description too but minus the experience, instead he takes over the disaster that Ryan was fired from. That is the exact opposite situation of the Bills, who decided to hire him. And he’d only be a good hire if you already had an offense but needed your defense to be completely rebuilt.

Rex Ryan might have been the best coach available, and he was unemployed because he was deservedly fired. The coaching carousel appears to be broken. He won an NCAA title and coached in the NFL, and no one wants him
