Brian SchottenheimerIt appears that Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer will be intervieiwing for the head coaching job with the Baltimore Ravens, who are looking to replace the fired Brian Billick, sometime this week. Last year, Schottenheimer turned down a chance to interview for the Dolphins job, so it looks like he’s going to try and see if he can snag a job this time around. 

Frankly, I just don’t see it. The Jets were not very good offensively this year, and even if he did get the Ravens job, they are even WORSE offensively, and Schottenheimer would have to struggle to find an offensive coordinator who can run the type of offense he wants to run, with multiple sets and motion and so forth, without much talent outside of Willis McGahee.

At this point, it would be advisable for him to stay on the Jet staff for one more season and look to develop Kellen Clemens into a serviceable quarterback. If he can do that, he might be on a lot of teams’ short list after next season.
