Comedic Offensive Coordinator Possibilities

by bringbackbuddytrees on Jan 15, 2012 10:33 PM PST

Brian Schottenheimer - A chip off the old block. The embattled New York Jets OC who would only leave if he got a head coaching job elsewhere was quickly dumped for the prolific offensive dynamo that is Tony Sparano. Would be sure to placate those Bolt fans that believe Marty should never have been fired. Not.

Hue Jackson - The Raider head coach who couldn't get his team motivated enough to show up to beat the Chargers for a fourth straight time. Seemed buddy-buddy with Norv sharing the "I survived working for skeletor" in common but did help jump start a moribund offense. Trade for Carson Palmer for 1st and 2nd was always questionable.

Todd Haley - Ex-Chiefs HC who earned his stripes coaching the offense of the Cardinals into the Superbowl. I actually think he is underrated and would be a great fit. Like Hue would have McDaniels-like insider knowledge of the personnel of a divisional rival.

Of course, none of these people will be hired because that would mean a fresh face and voice to the Chargers F.O. which believes that if ain't broke (too bad) don't fix it. Norv will call the plays (the same ones for the past 20 years), AJ will continue to reach for projects, and the OC will be a figurehead. Bolts 2012 - destination Superbowl.

I could dig Todd Haley

I feel their one year of success was more a product of their talent on the field breaking out (Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry), but he seems competent enough to hold the clipboard, and his insider knowledge could actually prove quite handy.

It's a reach...

I would love to see the younger Shotty as the OC but AJ hated Marty. AJ is going to look at it this way: Norv is calling the plays anyway so why spend the money on a GOOD OC? Destination Super Bowl? Would be a dream come true but I highly doubt it. The cup is half full remember?

Who cares!!!

Norv is extremely good at running an offense, he is a much better OC then any of these guys… I mean srsly, there are only a handful of guys out there who have proven to be better at designing explosive offenses, and they are all employed last time I checked!!

Would Shotty jr, or Hue, or some of these guys make a better HC?? that is the debate lol! But keep em away from my offense thou, let Norv do his magic!

neither of those 3 have a chance at working under Norv
