Success (in any arena) is largely dependent upon being at the right place at the right time. Jacksonville is not the right place, and their Franchise is not coming along at the right time. If Schotty were to compare that situation to this one, this one OBVIOUSLY has the makings of being a more successful endeavor for him.
He won't be the Head Coach here, and that's what most Coordinators strive to be, but he also won't be trying to make something out of nothing. If he can remain the OC here for a couple more years, then better opportunities might open up later on down the road. The thing that intrigues me the most, though, is how do Shurmur and Schottenheimer get Head Coaching offers after having offenses that rank in the bottom third of the league? Just the nature of the business I guess. If your HC ain't getting it done, then it must be the HC. Never mind what else is going on, just keep plugging guys in until you find *the one*.

I wonder if the Rams and Fisher asked Schefter to put this out there in order to make coaching and coming to the Rams more attractive. Told them they'd throw him a bone around draft time or something. Fish has been talking about him possibly getting a HC offer all year. Maybe they and Snead knew all year from the GM grapevine that he was always a candidate and that Mularkey was out at years end. That's why they've been mentioning it. Maybe Kahn has lost his fucking mind like the Browns. Maybe my dogs farts smell so bad because he broke into a half a bag of popcorn last night. You never know really.

Sounds exactly like when Shurmur left the RAMS for the Cleveland HC position, and look where that left him. IMO Shotty has not proven that he can be, or is ready to be a head coach. He came from a dismal situation in New York to a better situation in St. Louis. Too many times the owners and GMs think that coordinators, who have had some limited success, will instantly produce magic being a head coach. There are so many factors that need to be looked at before making a decision such as this. I would really be pissed if he left for a shit of a franchise just to be the head coach, and the offense has to go through their fourth coordinator/offensive system in as many years. We need to keep him for at least the next 2-3 years to develop consistancy. Plus as this team brings in more talent, we will be legitimate SB contenders. Like most things good, it takes time. After a couple more years, then he can make the jump to the next position of being a HC, and we will have someone to promote, from within, to be our coordinator.

I concur.
Schotty will leave some day for the right situation... But JAX ain't it.
I think he sees the opportunity to build his resume in STL for a more attractive situation later of his choosing.

We just have to (I guess) rely on Fisher's statement that Schottenheimer's not going anywhere. If he does, though, then my best guess would be that Cignetti would step in and take over where Brian left off. That would keep the playbook in tact, but the only uncertainty would be his ability to call plays and/or adjust his scheme throughout the course of a game.

Fisher is on record stating that the system will not change regardless of the coordinator. If Schotty leaves I would bet they make a strong push for Norv Turner. Pretty much same language and offense, just slightly different approach. As X mentioned I'm sure Cignetti could also step in.

According to Ian Rapoport on NFL.com Schottenheimer will interview for the Jaguars head-coaching position. Here is a link to the article on NFL.com:

All that said was that they asked for permission to talk to Brian.brokeu91 said:
Fisher: "Yeah, no."
I know, there's nothing that can be done once the season is over. He can interview with anyone he wants then. All I know is, it'll be almost comical if they lose Schott to the Jaguars and Bradford has to go through his 4th offense in as many years. Stupid. Negligent. Ridiculous. And comical.

I doubt the Rams would hold him back from interviewing for a HC job. I remember hearing Schotty say that the rumors for a HC job were flattering, but he's comfortable wheres hes at with "the best coach in the national football league." Even if he interviews. Who knows. I have no clue what to think about all this. It would be absolute bullshit. I still don't understand how the system won't change. Maybe not the terminology to a certain extent, but I still have no clue as to what Fisher is talking about in that regard.
