Brian Schottenheimer (born October 16, 1973 in Denver, Colorado) is the current offensive coordinator for the NFL's New York Jets. Brian replaced Mike Heimerdinger, as offensive coordinator . Before becoming an offensive coordinator, he was the quarterback coach for the San Diego Chargers. His father, Marty Schottenheimer, is formerly the head coach of the San Diego Chargers and his uncle, Kurt Schottenheimer, was the defensive backs coach for the Green Bay Packers until the 2009 season.
Biography
He prepped at Blue Valley High School in Stilwell, Kansas, where he quarterbacked his team to the 1991 Kansas 5A state football championship as a senior while earning All-State first team and All-American honorable mention honors. He threw for 2,586 yards and 26 TDs in his career.
Brian played college football as a quarterback at University of Kansas and then as backup to Danny Wuerffel at the University of Florida from 1994-1996, gaining a National Championship in 1996 with the Gators. He graduated from Florida with a bachelor's degree in sports management in 1997. During his career, he completed 25-of-38 passes (65.8%) for 290 yards and 2 touchdowns, and also ran for a TD.
Schottenheimer was an assistant coach with the St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, Syracuse Orange, USC Trojans and Washington Redskins from 1997 to 2001, before becoming an assistant coach with the Chargers. He was an assistant under his father, Marty Schottenheimer, in three of those coaching positions: Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers.
In early 2007, Schottenheimer's name was floated around as being a possible replacement for the departed Nick Saban as the Miami Dolphins head coach. He later removed his name from consideration for the Dolphins head coaching position, preferring to stay in New York.[1]
After the 2008 NFL season, when coach Eric Mangini was fired, Schottenheimer was one of the first candidates to interview for the open head coaching position. However, he eventually lost out to Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan
