Since Schotty gets no love here. And he shouldn't. Who are good candidates to replace him besides Callahan? I'm only familiar with all the DC's I'd want to replace Sutton.
Jeremy Bates Quarterbacks Coach Denver Broncos Jeremy Bates enters his third season on the Denver Broncos? coaching staff in 2008 and serves as the club?s quarterbacks coach. Bates, who was Denver?s wide receivers/quarterbacks coach last season, owns six years of coaching experience in the NFL and worked with the New York Jets (2005) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002-04) before joining the Broncos in 2006. Bates was a key part of the Broncos? offensive staff in 2007 as their wide receivers/quarterbacks coach, helping the offense rank fourth in the league in yards per play (5.7). A pair of second-year players flourished while working with Bates as Brandon Marshall totaled the third-most receptions (102 for 1,325 yds.) by a second-year player in NFL history and Jay Cutler posted the third-best completion percentage (63.6) for a season in Denver annals. In his first year with the Broncos during the 2006 season, Bates was an offensive assistant and worked with Offensive Coordinator Rick Dennison in coaching the offensive line. The Broncos were one of only three teams in the NFL to have two running backs post at least 670 rushing yards with Tatum Bell (1,025 yds.) and undrafted rookie Mike Bell (677 yds.) both enjoying productive seasons. As quarterbacks coach for the Jets in 2005, Bates instructed a unit that was forced to use five different passers because of injuries. Despite the adversity, New York?s quarterbacks helped the club improve toward the end of the year with first year starter Brooks Bollinger posting an 87.7 passer rating and leading the team to a 2-2 record in its final four games. Bates, 32, was promoted to assistant quarterbacks coach for the Buccaneers in 2004 and worked closely with Head Coach Jon Gruden and Quarterbacks Coach John Shoop in the instruction and preparation of the team?s passers. In that capacity, Bates helped Brian Griese lead the NFL in completion percentage (69.3) in 2004 and set Buccaneers single-season records in that category along with passer rating (97.5) and yards per passing attempt (7.83). Bates began his coaching career with Tampa Bay as an offensive quality control coach from 2002-03. Tampa Bay?s offense in 2003 was arguably the most productive in franchise history as Bates assisted a unit that set single-season records in total offense (340.8 ypg.) and passing offense (237.8 ypg.). In addition, the club ranked among the league?s top 10 in both categories in the same year for just the second time in Buccaneers annals. In his first season in the NFL?s coaching ranks, Bates worked with a Buccaneers offense in 2002 that was pivotal in the franchise winning its first-ever World Championship with a victory over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. Tampa Bay?s offense was particularly dominant in the postseason, averaging 35.3 points and 334.0 yards per game in three playoff contests that year. Bates, who attended Sevier County High School in Sevierville, Tenn., began his collegiate playing career as a quarterback at the University of Tennessee in 1995. He transferred to Rice University, where he was a two-year letterman in football from 1996-99 and was a second baseman on the school?s baseball team. Bates? father, Jim, is a veteran NFL defensive coordinator who was the Broncos? assistant head coach/defense in 2007. His brother, James, was a linebacker and defensive captain on the University of Florida?s 1996 national championship team and does television play-by-play for the Mountain West Sports Network. Jeremy Bates was born on Aug. 27, 1976, in Manhattan, Kan.
:rofl: hahahaha why not, I've been saying that I can be a better DC and if I owned the Lions they'd at least win a division.
not a bad idea with this guy. I like his pedigree, I like the fact that he worked with Cutler and with shitty Jets QBs. As long as he doesn't act like a pussy I'm all for him.
The thing that pisses me off about Schotty is that he has shown the ability to call good, and even great games, but then he just comes out with these total retard game plans from time to time. I don't know if that's something he can correct with experience or what but it's frustrating as hell. Maybe he just panics during games and loses his mind. I don't know.
Again, the Jets are second in the league in scoring. And you want to replace the offensive coordinator? So second is not good enough.
5th ranked scoring offense, but point taken. Unfortunately, we seem to run up the score when it doesn't matter, and when we need it, we can't get it done.
Ok, must have dropped a few the last few weeks. The D has been the problem in my eyes, not the offense.
i really think the Jets' coaches just outsmart themselves. When they have a great game plan where they absolutely dominate a team (see TENN) they come out next week with a "WTF are they doing" game plan. They take what worked great, and try to add something on top of it and make it too fancy. They need to keep it simple. What should our offense be like? Easy- run the ball, have Favre manage the game, give Leon 10+ touches (he always gets a few big plays every time he gets 10 touches). Get the ball into Keller's hands on 3rd down.
i agree. i've been saying stuff along those lines for a while now. sometimes it seems like the jets CS thinks they can outsmart the opposing CS by outsmarting themselves. halftime adjustments need to be improved--heck, they need to be made--as well.
I'd have no problems with Callahan as he is already familiar with the players and the playbook wouldn't have to be flipped around completely once again. Somebody from good offensive systems would be nice. Colts, Cardinals, Saints assistants possibly.
There's a problem with this whole "Who is going to replace Schotty?" thing. If every one gets what they are yelling for, Mangini will be gone. Who is the candidate to replace him? Considering why Cowher left Pittsburgh, it is unlikely he will come to NYC. Who is next? Why it's "Big Schott". Unlikely he will be firing his son
Schotty is not the problem, he stays Callahan might actually be Mangini's replacement if we miss the playoffs.
If this team doesnt make the playoffs, and a change is made, I'd be interested to see how the team does with Big schott and Little schott, Favre, westhoff and a new DC.
Callahan has done a good job with the offensive line and is a proven commodity as a coordinator. If Schottenheimer is gone, it's tough to envision anybody but him.
