Rams Hire Brian Schottenheimer as OC
Written by playerpress.com, Monday January 16 2012
Sam Bradford of the St. Louis Rams has had three offensive coordinators in his three first years in the NFL.
The newest member of the team is Brian Schottenheimer, the former offensive coordinator of the New York Jets. Once rumored for the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching position, once the position was filled the Jets quickly removed the coordinator and son of legendary coach Marty Schottenheimer.
According to PFT, the Rams have offered Schottenheimer the job, according to Michael Lombardi of NFL.com. The two sides still have to work out a contract, but Lombardi writes that Schottenheimer will accept the position.
The former Jets offensive coordinator met with Jeff Fisher over dinner on Sunday night. Fisher’s contract hasn’t even officially been completed, but that is expected to happen shortly. This move may not be popular in St. Louis, but Schottenheimer was a well-regarded rising coach not so long ago. Like Bradford, he will try to revive his NFL career under Fisher.
