in St. Louis Rams Hire Jeff Fisher

On Saturday it was reported that former New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Scottenheimer was a person of interest to Jeff Fisher for the St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator job. Now, Adam Schefter is reporting that Fisher will meet with Schottenheimer on Sunday night to discuss the job.
Of course, that interview might be happening over a few beers today in Tennessee, according to an on-air Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network. Afternoon, evening, whatever, it's clear that Schottenheimer is interviewing with Fisher at some point on Sunday.
The Post-Dispatch first reported the Schottenheimer news on Saturday. We took a quick look at the scheme preferences of the Air Coryell disciple in this post. Needless to say, he prefers the more complex variety of offensive as opposes to the more conservative style of the West Coast Offense.
With Fisher as head coach, Schottenheimer would have a nice set of check and balances, keeping his offense from getting too Mike Martz-like. Another thing that should be said about Schottenheimer is that he has a history of adapting to the players. Contrast that to Josh McDaniels who frustrated fans by trying to pound square pegs into round holes for his offense.

I don't know what to make of this.
In the past few weeks, the Jets have turned into a parade of dysfunction and hot garbage. Hard to get a grasp on his abilities as a coach.
I say let our new, experienced head coach put his own staff together….

most of us in the NY area, and GGN were under the impression he "resigned"
The Jets wanted to save money by seeing if Jacksonville would take the money off the books, when they saw that wasn’t going to happen they let informed Schotty he was not coming back, and that if he wanted to save his reputation they would accept a resignation, if he didn’t resign he would suffer the shame of being fired. So, I don’t think he was “smart enough to get out of” here, he was forced
Right im gonna trust that The stache knows what he doing!

please get Williams and Shotty
Are we forgetting this is a guy who coached an offense to 2 AFC championship games with Mark Sanchez? Sanchez didn’t have a bad year. Jets let Edwards walk which hurt the offense a ton. When your number 2 is a washed up Burress, you have problems. Sanchez progressed well under him too, 12 tds-17tds-26tds. Qb rating increased every year as well. The Jets personnel was a shit storm last year led by there punk ass wr Holmes. Holmes is a joke, needs to be run outta the league. These two coordinators would be AWESOME to have!!! In Fisher I trust.
Also, the SB nation Android app is amazing!
SJax is still a beast! Best RB in the league!

He had better stats then Messiah Sam
I agree Sanchez isn’t that good of a QB but Shotty did a pretty good job with him IMO. I would love to see Shotty coach for the Rams.

Jets fans beleived we got to 2 AFC championships despite SCHOTTENHEIMER not Sanchez
A lot of the complaints in the post above we had about Schotty. He often misused the players, and Sanchez’s improvement numbers is due to the Offensive Advising in Tom Moore, not the coaching by Schottenheimer, who uses ineffective means of coaching, i.e color coding plays based on risk taking ability, and teaching Sanchez to get rid of the ball by sounding a buzzer during practice causing Sanchez to look flustered and hurried even when he had time.
I didn't watch a ton of Jets football the last few years, but I didn't see any problems with the plays
How much of the ineffective means of coaching comes from Rex? Here, Spags was consistently criticized for the offensive playcalling because he was perceived to be a control freak. No one really knows who’s fault any of this really was. Speculation runs rampant with little factual info.

The way the media portrays it
Rex has Zero to extremley limited control of the offense. The only thing Rex seems to have done to the offense is tell Schotty to run more wildcat, and hire coaches (except Schotty) that prefer a ground and pound system
I loved Marty tho.
I guess his son doesn’t really live up to the old man.

I would like this hire
but dont just say things in posts because they sound good, every coach in the nfl adapts to his personnel. Whatever mcdaniels problem was here in st louis it wasnt that he didnt adapt to his personnel otherwise he wouldnt be an nfl coach.
He didn't do it all that well
And didn’t seem to want to make it any easier on Sam when it was clear Sam was struggling with the matter of learning the offense in only his second season

Instead, he tucked tail and ran back to NE at the earliest possible opportunity.
And given the circumstances here I can’t really blame him.
So he’ll spend a few years with the Pats and let Brady make him look like a genius again. He’ll be a head coach again in a few years. Probably after the Raiders fire their next coach.

Amen: on the square pegs into round holes.
Let’s spice it up a bit.
Go Rams!………………………..
Stability is the key!!
The Rams need a guy that is going to be around a couple of years. Sam is going on 3oc’s in 3years. This is an important hire along with a good Q-back coach which he never had.
As long as we don't hire Cam Cameron

This would be a good hire.
This guy comes from legendary footbal lineage, he worked under Vermiel, worked with Brees, and Rivers. The reason the jets O sucks is because Rex Ryan is a moronic control freak. Schotty reeks of a guy who is going to break out big time given the right situation, I think this would be a great hire!!

I agree
what is the cap figures on NE? Do they have 10 million to throw at Lloyd?
by fearsomefoursum on Jan 15, 2012 4:04 PM CST up reply actions
Not sure but Lloyd said he was stoked on the Fisher hire so hopefully he can see the potential and will want to stay.
by LARams72 on Jan 15, 2012 4:07 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I doubt that he had 0%, look at Schotty pre Rex and after he became coach, it’s night and day. Rex brought in ground and pound and thats when Sanchez came in too. The jets QB’s were better before Rex came in.
by LARams72 on Jan 15, 2012 4:17 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
To us in NY it was made clear as day that Rex left all offensive decisions to Schotty this year
The only time he had a say in the offense was when he told Schotty to mix in some more wildcat. After the giants game Rex said criticized Schotty for calling over 60 pass plays, and Rex wasn’t aware Holmes was taken out against the Dolphins on New Year’s. Rex has absolutely no say in our offense here in NY.
In regards to Rex bringing ground and pound, that actually happened when Rex hired Bill Callahan his first year to be O-Line Coach, Assistant Head Coach, and Running Game Coordinator. Rex himself didn’t implement the Ground and Pound he hired some who shared the same belief like he did with Schotty’s replacement Sporano.
The Jets QB’s were better pre-Sanchez but Favre had one of his worst years under Schottenheimer, and so did Brees when Brian was the QB Coach in SD.
Rex told them to throw it that much, cause he wanted to prove to everyone that Sanchez was as good as his fat ass mouth had said he was

Rex is a fat ass bitch who just puts it on anyone but himself when it matters
Puts it on himself when it doesnt

most of Rex's talk is to draw the media attention towards him and away from the players
and not once has he put the blame on someone else
No, it's called he wants to be the center of attention
He doesn’t know when to shut it. If I were a player id be like “we are 6-7, shut up about the Super Bowl right now, we need to focus in just making the playoffs”
Note to Douglas M: Remember that 99% of what I say involves BS
by King Sam Rules! on Jan 15, 2012 7:06 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
the Jets were never 6-7
would you prefer that your coach says my team is terrible its an accomplishment just to make the playoffs. No. As a player you want your coach to believe in you.
And I agree with you he does make himself the center of attention, but that is to take the attention of his players, so that they can focus on playing not focusing on the constant media attention there is in a big market like NY
All the players and coaches always say:
Our goals our to first win the division, then win the conference. His talk and gloating is just ticking other teams off who now go and punch his team in the mouth to try and shut them uo

We are concetrating on the game at hand
You are right. Mouthing off is never a good thing. It can only motivate your opponant.
NE cap and Rams cap about the same 102
So what we can offer they can match. But I also looked at Titans UFA…Jake Scott starting RT Gaurd is available. Not that we need a RT G. OT Otto, DT M. Sheppard, LB B. Ruud, FS M. Griffin and CB C. Finnegan I hope ;some of these guys hope to be reunited with Fisher. Last year was such a up and down season for those guys…and Hasslebeck is giving way to locker and Chris Johnson can’t find his mojo….AND LETS GRAB VINCENT JAX JUST FOR BRADFORD:
Lloyd
Vincent Jax
Blackmon
Danny A.
Salas
(whoever wins this spot in camp HERE)

Our weakest position becomes one of our best..
Bradford + Blackmon = Secondaries Beware

Hilarious
to hear my fellow Ram fans saying how crappy the Jets’ receiving corp. is. And unfortunately, I think Lloyd is the perfect receiver for the eroding skills at outside receiver in NE. McHoody is going to steal our best WR and I don’t think Schotty is the right guy to lure him to stay in St Louis.
No one ever said ours were better
But Santonio is an immature diva and who else do they have. We can openly criticize another teams WR corp just like we do our own. Lloyd was never ours if Micky left. Kroenke made that decision when he fired Spags.
SJax is still a beast! Best RB in the league!

Keeping Lloyd wasn't a good enough reason to keep Spags

FYI...Lloyd has never been good without Mcdaniels playbook.
He’s a McDaniels system wr. Nothing more. Yes he can catch the ball. So should every other damn player who gets a college scholarship to play wr.
