TheBlackMamba Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 i dont have access so could omeone who does and could post the rest of the article please? http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/ru...atures%2frumors
BillsZubaz Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Marty and Brian Schottenheimer? That is my guess. I'm predicting that this article is speculation (with little to no evidence) eluding to the Schottenheimer coaching duo in Buffalo. Thats right...I'm speculating about speculation!

If Marty comes to the Bills, you know both sides of the ball will have great lines. Having big lines is what we need for those wintry playoff games in Buffalo.
Tortured Soul Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Mike and Kyle Shanahan, following up on this morning's insider tease. Just a guess
Mike in Syracuse Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Brian Schottenheimer is currently employed by another NFL team. If the Bills mention his name I'd be SHOCKED!
bills_red Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 With Dick Jauron out as head coach of the Buffalo Bills, we'll continue to get tips left and right as to who will be his eventual replacement. For now, it's Perry Fewell with the headset, as the former defensive coordinator was named interim coach on Tuesday. But might the Bills take a look to their rich AFL history to select the next head man? Several pundits -- including AFC East blogger Tim Graham -- have suggested that the team may go with Marty Schottenheimer, who was dumped by the Chargers after leading them to a 14-2 record in the 2007 season, and who played for the Bills in the 1960's. An interesting angle to the Schottenheimer hire would be that it would open the door for him to hire his son, Brian Schottenheimer, as offensive coordinator -- a reverse of what Lane Kiffin did at the University of Tennessee in hiring his pops as the defensive coordinator. Brian was considered a leading candidate to take over as head coach of the New York Jets following the ouster of Eric Mangini, but the team eventually hired Rex Ryan, which did not sit well with Schottenheimer at the time. Going further with this hypothetical, we could foresee the Schottenheimers setting up a progression plan in Buffalo, where Marty would coach for a set period, then the team could have an easy transition to Brian.
Acantha Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Marty and Brian Schottenheimer? That is what it's about, but it's based on nothing. Literally just throwing it out there.
Acantha Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 It also says that it would be possible for Marty to take over for a set amount of time, and then have an easy transition to Brian as head coach down the line.

Not too shabby, I'd be on board with Marty-ball.
dave mcbride Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Isn't Andy Reid's son out of prison now?
Peter Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 For what it is worth, Shanahan's son Kyle is the offensive coordinator for the Texans.
ricojes Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 That is my guess. I'm predicting that this article is speculation (with little to no evidence) eluding to the Schottenheimer coaching duo in Buffalo. Thats right...I'm speculating about speculation! Great guess, considering there's a picture of Marty next the the link to the article, I will agree...
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 For what it is worth, Shanahan's son Kyle is the offensive coordinator for the Texans. And THAT offense has looked very good this season...as has the QB!
Fires Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Clark and Rusty Griswald? That old man on Christmas Vacation always reminded me of Marv... "Thats the lights from the sewage treatment plant"
silvermike Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 If it's the Shanahans, I'd guess that the Texans would let Kyle out of his contract to go work for his father. Especially given that HC Gary Kubiak is a protege of Mike. If it's the Schottenheimers, I'd say there's no way the Jets would let us take Brian in a lateral move. Though possible: Marty GM, Brian HC.
