Yeah, I don't like him, but he seems to at least put good solid teams on the field. Seems like they would have interviewed him by now if there was interest, though.
I hope they interview some more candidates. I'm not a fan at all of Schottenheimer because of his total lack of creativity as OC, even though McCarthy called plays. The offense seems really stale. On the bright side, he might at least prove to be a better game manager than Mike, wouldn't be a shocker. So it could be worse, especially with a short term deal that Jerry likely wants. It also might keep the better part of the defensive coaching staff in place. Maybe he would bring in some younger offensive coaching talent to help out.
I hope they're still looking and making calls and interviews. They can do better. Even Wes Phillips would be worth a look, if he can bring anything like the Vikings offensive look and help the qbs get easier targets and spread the ball around, and beef up the running game.
