St. Louis Rams Will Interview Hue Jackson For Offensive Coordinator Position

A twist. Reports of the St. Louis Rams hiring Brian Scottenheimer as head coach Jeff Fisher's offensive coordinator may have been a bit premature. Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that Fisher will interview deposed Raiders head coach Hue Jackson for the Rams' offensive coordinator job.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter @TurfShowTimes, and get more updates, etc. on our Facebook page.

What happened? What kind of offense does Jackson run? Would he be a fit here?

Star-divide

Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network reported on Sunday that the Rams would hire Schottenheimer for the job. He interviewed with Fisher on Sunday, and many national media figures said that it was all but official. For what it's worth, Mortensen noted in a later Tweet that Schottenheimer was still seen as the favorite. That can change, of course.

Jackson's tenure in Oakland was a strange one. In the vacuum of power following Al Davis' death, he oversaw the trade for Carson Palmer, sending a first- and a second-round pick for the declining quarterback. The Raiders collapsed down the stretch.

As an offensive coordinator and position coach, both for quarterbacks and receivers, Jackson's track record was much better. He was the Ravens' QB coach for Joe Flacco's first two seasons with the team.

Jackson is known for his boisterous ways. Yelling, clapping and cursing through a practice session. That kind of energy would be appreciated at Rams Park.

As for what kind of offense he runs, he's not a doctrinaire guy, which is to say you can't pigeon hole him as a West Coast or Air Coryell type. He does believe in passing the football. In Cincinnati as a receivers coach, Chad Ochocinco, then simply Chad Johnson, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh thrived. He is also the man that finally got results of noted draft bust Darius Heyward-Bey.

He isn't afraid to stretch the field. The play-action pass is a staple of his offenses. He also diversified the running game in Oakland.

If the Schottenheimer news underwhelmed Rams fans, the possibility of Jackson calling the plays should spark a more positive reaction.

We just dumped a Schotty

Let’s not do that again.

Someone make sure Infemous didnt pull the chair out yet
Seriously, make sure Infemous is alive
I like what I hear

… but is this to satisfy the Rooney rule? This rule apply to OC and DC too?

Don't think it does

Cause we didn’t do it for DC

I think we did

Ray Horton
Defensive Coordinator from AZ

And before we had Fisher, so I don't think it carries over
Rooney only for the senior level jobs ... HC, GM
van, do you have any thing about Washburn rumors?

I know it’s all early level speculation, but I’d like your opinion

No

You only need to satisfy the Rooney Rule for GM and Head Coach

The thing I'm still geeking out over is Washburn

And then this? Best birthday ever

Ksr..fill me in

Who is washburn? Have we talked to him

He's the d-line coach in Philly

And was in Tennessee since 99. People think he wants to come back and reunite with Fish and Williams. He is maybe the best D-line coach in the league, made Haynesworth and Babin into great players

Tennessee was 5th in sacks and 7th in run defense over the time of his tenure
Think there is a good chance we get em?
He is good buddies with fisher

And can’t deny the success him, fish, and Willaims had. He would be very much open to come here, and if Spags goes to Philly, they wouldn’t run the wide-9, which is what Wasburn runs. Him coaching Long and Quinn would make them a nightmare for qb’s

My bigger geek out on it is he is best buds with Howard Mudd

And Mudd has an out in his contract in Philly. Mudd talk is all speculation by me, but if Washburn comes here, which i think is ver likely, Mudd could be possible

Who voted Shotty?
His mama - 4 times
I thought white women loved black guys?
Thats the real roony rule;)
She's needs her son in the chedda for a while longer
Marty isn't getting enough out of AARP

And Medicare has nothin left

Lol dude stop your killing me
I thought it was the other way around
Possibly some Jets fans have infiltrated the site.
6 votes for Brian to Hue's 46

real close.

I hate the raiders

Its my belief that shottys votes are from people against anything that has to do with raiders… Not including me…ill take jackson over shotty

I love the idea of Hue Jackson

Sam needs him, our WR need him.

Same, I'm not as turned off by the idea of Shotty

But NO question Hue is the best choice on the market maybe

Think he could help some of or receivers

?

without question.. he was wr coach in cinci
Helped make Ocho and Housh
Made DHB better.
So he could atleast make pettis or dx or salas...dare I say....

Useable?

That is a task a god couldn't preform.
omg lol

I like Salas..

Well Salas would be ok but Pettis and DX....
DX is awesome

His only problem is his youth and knees( or lack there of) he should be use in red zone offence would be awesome plus he comes VERY cheep

Yeah, he could make something out of a we core of Lloyd, Danny, Salas,

And I would like to see him coach a talent like Stephen Hill

My mock has us getting Blackmon and Jenkins.
I think you all know mine by now
yea....
dude, are you amped?

HUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea better than the other dude

Plus we don’t have people from other sites coming to tell us how terrible he is…

Raiders fans would say he is good
I'm sold, Hue it is!
Could be a minority interview

fisher may have jumped the gun w Shotty, by rule you have to interview minorities.

Not

For coordinator spots.

Is it Stephen Hill...
I know you are being sarcastic

Upshaw, Miller, Worthy, Hill

Miller depends

I see FA being huge for us. If we keep Lloyd or get Wayne, then this is the mock I go with. If not its totally different. If we have Hue, Michael Bush might be an option. I also see us taking a T or G (whatever we don’t get in FA)

Give hue jesus a chance
He could hit one with the other
did a lot with Heyward-Bey too who struggled before he got there
Agreed

Schottenheimer doesn’t have a single advantage over Jackson in my mind.

Take a breath

We’re actually shooting for the stars for a change – even if some aren’t as shiny as others. We’re used to bargain basement choices – that take forever to get made. Let’s just roll around in it for a minute.

Hue jackson = passion for football he bleeds it.

Anyone remember when Al Davis passed away how Hue jackson was

You don't play right - smack my bitch up!
If we added Tom Cable as well we'd beat the failure out of these guys
Or choke it out of them.
Cable in action

Family Guy>Simpsons
South Park > everything
Now that's just a lie...
No
Yes
Hue and Gregg, and Washburn!

I’m really excited

Family Guy = Old Simpsons jokes.
Except it isn't funny child abuse like in the simpsons.

It’s one man getting choked by another man in a hopefully non sexual way….

Now I feel sad

Why be sad when you can has cheezburger.
Great Post

don’t forget the free broken Jaw for the assistants!

Lmfao

Dude!

Hue > Schotty

Fingers crossed!!

Would absolutely prefer

Hue Jackson.

next thing ya know Rob Ryan is gonna get an interview with Fish

Lmfao

Quick - close the all you can eat rib joints!
NFL Net just said Williams is in for sure

They were soft on Schotty but didn’t mention anybody else.

Whoever is voting for Shotty

Please tell me why?

To bea dick I'm sure
Did you see my reply about Washburn?
Yea I love it

I’m curious to if these guys can still develop our really young core. At oline and wr and d line..sounds crazy but I like or potentiel.i just think we’re young and misguided

Washburn, and Hue would be great for that

And Mudd is a genius. They are all maybe the best at their spots a t development of talent

For those of you not familiar with Mudd.

Mudd was named the offensive line coach for the Philadelphia Eagles after being talked out of retirement on February 2, 2011.5 In Mudd’s first season with the Eagles, they allowed 17 fewer sacks than they had the previous season, and helped LeSean McCoy lead the NFL in total touchdowns.[

And he built the line that protected Peyton

It went to crap without him as Caldwell’s lack of ability to coach eroded it

Yep Colt O-line coach 98-09
Would love to see what hugh might do with our wr

Question us do you go ollie or reciever

Oline
If we do my pipe dream and get Mudd

Smith would finally be a LT

As it is, you've seen my FA and draft plan
EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

That’s a bit of a stretch.

Mudd is that good
I know he's amazing (I've seen what he's done)

But that’s like saying he would make Alex Barron a starter.

Smith has plenty of talent

Mudd would get it out of him. That old man is one tough MF, would get Smith to play hard

With young receivers I can't see how we can pass on Hue

jackson loves the play-action..,. thats music to my ears

Sam's going to have to learn how to sell the play action. He has the worst fake hand off I've seen in a while
Maybe he'd be better

if we had a QB coach!!!!

Is there a scenario where we could get Kalil and a great WR in 1st round?
I say floyd, but we'
we'd have to trade back up to the middle of the first..
yea, CLE 22nd
Or Alshon, but I'm not that high on Alshon.,.
Too slow
Larry Fitzgerald didn't run a fast 40.
But Fitz was seen as something special coming out, while Ashlong has very mixed reviews

Special as in 22 TDs & 1600 yrds as a sophmore. Also, 4.48 40 time isn’t exactly slow. Sorry, Fitz is a special player and Ashlon isn’t.

Kalil won't last until 6 though.
what if we traded with Miami
Kalil is a Vike then
We won't get Kalil or Blackmon

Martin seems like best case scenario..

I'm completely sold on Stephen Hill in the 3rd if we can keep Lloyd or get a Wayne kind of guy

Esoecialoy if Hue could coach up a guy with Hill’s kinda athleticism

Who in The hell is Stephen hill?
The WR at GT

Is Demaryius physically ability with Megatron size. Will be in 3rd do to lack of production with an awful qb

Give me jeff fuller
I think there is a chance Lloyd stays
25% chance he stays...
does that improve with Hue Jackson?
Not IMO

Only reason he came here is because of McD, he’s the one that made his career good. I think he most likely goes to NE…

Lloyd was a system guy anyway

Sucks without mcdaniels. He is a great route runner but in a WCO he would not have the ability to run afterthe catch IMO.

Hue runs what works best forbids wr's
Huh?
He runs really more of what works for his WRs to maximize their abilities

Cant pigeon hole him as one offense or another as Van put it

wonder if Danny would have a monster year
Salas is the one to watch

Of the wr’s I expect back, he has the most talent

But Blackmon would be a freak with Hie
salas will be a great wr.
O got ya

Idk doesn’t seem like he had the speed or strength for any other offense

I know

Just saying that if there was a guy who could get something out of him besides mcd, it’s hue

Does that go up with Hue

And I really don’t see Wayne staying in Indy, hates how they are treating Peytin, thinks Peyton is being disrespected

Which he is..
True

And I really would love to get Reggie

Rather have DeSean Jackson..
if Lloyd goes,

look for us to make a move for a veteran WR

And Blackmon becomes an even bigger option..
this
I think the need for a playmaker (if lloyd leaves)

Might be too big for us to pass on, even if it is at the 2…

Nah

Still trade the pick.we are sitting on gold. Maybe take blackmon around 8th

4th is as far down as he goes IMO
Maybe but no player in this draft us worth the amount of high picks rg3 will catch
True..
But I think he could actually get there with ease actually
With a great combine its possible..
With the new rookie cap who cares

what postion goes where. I would love to trade out of #2 and that can happen this year because of the rookie cap.

We can draft Blackmon

And use that first overall pick of day 2 as good trade bait.

I'd have no problem seeing Hue coach Blackmon
Not only would I not have a problem with it,

I firmly believe it would be the perfect scenario… absofreakinlutely

I love what Warren Moon said:

Des Bryantwithall his brain cells

lol !!
Which I mentioned in my mock draft (Shameless advertisement)

Also watch Ink Master on spike tomorrow 10/9C

Warren was the only one who saw what Cam was at the end of the day
Would Reggie be an option?

He should be cheaper since his production fell without Peyton, people will say he is just getting old in contract talk

perhaps... Fisher played him twice a year

should know him pretty well

If I'm an older WR like him

Id like to go play for a guy like Fisher and an OC like Hue, and would Michael Bush be an option for us?

Michael Bush is nasty

Like Steven jackson nasty but only doesnt get injured so often

Like I've said many times before....

Fisher brings more than just coaching… players and coaches WANT to come here now… Fisher has the pedigree, and players and coaches want to be around him

He also is rumored to hate Caldwell at this point
SOME WILL WIN SOME WILL LOSE!

SOME ARE BORN TO SING THE BLUES! RANDOM COMMENT!

And she's buying the stairway to hea-ven.

Just sayyin

Soo. We are gonna ahve Fish for dinner 5 Years

His son gonna succeed him when he retires

THE FISH ERA? !!

Here's a dumb thought

with sjax not getting younger, and Fish loving the run game more, is Richardson a surprise possability

NOOOO!!!

Too high for the 2nd pick, plus with a good line we can get one in later rounds and he’ll be just as good, i.e Arian Foster.

No

Maybe we sign Bush and trade SJax, but with the needs we have, you dont take an unproven rookie, no matter how good he should be, at the one position with talent

At this point, there are no dumb thoughts unless you think there will be more clapping!

I see a lot of mocks that have Cincy taking Richardson? Anyone think he falls that far? They have 2 picks in the first as well but I’m not sure who they’d want to trade up for. Maybe we get a 1st and 2nd round pick in 2013 also? Any thoughts?

Yup! I was thinking that earlier today. He needs a Eddie George beast, and SJax can't take the whole load
Didn't he just break a record for penalties, miss the playoffs and throw his whole team under the bus?

We should get Greg McElroy to back up Sam while we are at it

He wouldn't be the HC
I still wouldn't mind a 3rd option in the poll
How did Shottu get 40 votes?
It's not even funny how close this isn't in the poll
.... What?
The hue vs Shotty poll
I know what you're referring to but wtf did you say?
Hue is up by like 200+ votes
And it's crazy funny
If Stan surfs the interweb, I hope he see's this - asses in seats and such
I'm sure he's busy doing other stuff like snorting crack with $10,000 a night hookers.
That might explain his complexion

Party on

Wayne
Righteous Party on, Garth
I live in the bay area so I get the raiders and 49ers every week,

thought Jackson and Cable were successful, especially considering the organizational instability. Anywhere else they would have been considered up and coming coaches.

Kate Upton approves

I approve.
She still approves

What can I say besides

She’s hot.

She's hot from any angle, proven here:

Who wants in on the "days till I get banned" pool?

Is their a part of Kate that isn't hot?
nope.
Even those freckles/moles of hers are hot
Finally figured out how to post pics from the iPad
Cool story bro.
The west owns the Saints

Seahawks beat em in playoffs last year
We beat ’em this year
49er just beat em in playoffs

Whut up?

What about the Cards?
They were p#ssies and didn't play em.
That's what I was thinking when I was watching the game.

NFC WEST = GREATEST DIVISION IN FOOTBALL!

With the best quarterback

The Saints use to be in our division...
Back when they looked like this

This chick approves..

holy shit

she’s hot!!

This chick also approves...

I love this site
I read fish is also interested in tom clements from The packers! My personal fav (runs wco)!
Right.

Here we see how happy or satisfied people really were with Schotty.

I'm more just big on Hue than it is that I don't like Shotty

Hue is the best option available IMO

He sounds too much like what we just got rid of

Inability to change a plan that isn’t working
Too complicated a playbook
Inability to adapt schemes to the skill of his players

We just can afford to go down that road again because he has a football last name.

why are you guys putting porn under this article? make a article and name it naked chicks we should get for cheerleaders
We don't have the cap room for these ladies
Its what happens

When your fans have nothing else to talk about, when your franchise is arguably the worst in the NFL..

Agree. how come no one puts any brunets up. their hotter than blondes. JMO
Haha

Blondes are some much hotter..

Nope Brunets!
Haha

Well the hottest chick (consensus anyways) is Kate Upton… who is blonde haha

haha Adriana lima is hot as hell
Not bad

Told yah!
She's hotter...

hate blondes... shes ugly
How in the world can you hate blondes? haha
they dont turn me on. i dated 3 blondes and they were all mistakes
Fair enough, I told a blonde joke to a blonde before and she didn't get it

I laughed in her face sooo hard…

haha exactly.. their retarded. no offense if you have blonde hair
Haha na

I’m black, which means they’re attracted to me either way xD

haha.. do you like black girls? they have nice asses dont get me wrong
Oh hell no

Grew up around 3 of them growing up, my oldest sister (one year younger than me) ruined black women for me. Just annoying and won’t shut the hell up, they do have nice asses though.

Black Women in general or your sisters?
black women in general..
yeah i know. they are always screaming all the time.

I am Italian. and i live in Frankfort. and frankfort is filled with italians so 95% of girls here are brunets

Not the one in kentucky it in new york
Live in Tonkawa

small town in Oklahoma, mostly blondes here..

explains are taste in women
Grew up in the city though

lots of black chicks there, which explains why even listening to most annoys the hell out of me xD

haha. what does RG31 mean?
Actually

The RG3 are initials to what my dad call me and since you have to have at least 4 characters, I added a 1.

o cool.. thats crazy how your dad calls you the same initials as robert griffin 3
Yea he's RG2

So it just goes down the line, family given name but that is a hell of a coincidence..

yeah i know.. have you looked at my page before?
No I have not
yeah im jw cause i may seem older than this but im only 12
Well atleast you're not like the average 12 year old

Who I want to smack the shit out of…

haha.. i dont play with toys or shit.

i just watch sports center all the time and learn more and more about football. i have been a Rams fan since i was 7. I also have a mid term tomorro i dont give a shit about

Sounds like an American kid haha
haha. its almost 2:00 over here and i have to get up at 5.

at least their is a blizzard out side so im praying for no school

Isn't that regular over there though?
its regular in buffalo

which im 3 hours away from. its also haling and sleet so im going to assume their is no school and stay up the whole night.

I've never heard such a tragic story.
not positive

which coach is a better offensive coordinator, seems like the raiders had a much stronger offense although it could be personnel, but that’s why i want jackson, maybe he could bring over michael bush from oakland to take a little of the workload from #39

Some1 should look up Jeff Fisher Soft Knocks

It’s be hella funny…..

Would prefer this.

Whoever was asking what offense scheme he runs it’s a hybrid WC and AC. Everyone that freaked last night over the Schotty announcement should take this interview as a complete opposite. Want a guy that has had success? From Cincy to Oakland this guy has made every single wide out better, and he likes to keep it balanced. He does run a zone run scheme so getting an athletic center that can make protection calls is an absolute must. Plus we will need to add a speedster because hue loves running the deep seam with a post coming underneath it. As a rams fan yearning for some offense…. Please god make this be the hire.

If we nail this hire this would be great..... WE WILL HAVE A 12-4 SEASON IN 2012
If we get the weapons necessary, then it's very possible..
all we need to do is have a great 2012 nfl draft and get good free agents them were good to go
I think we were a 10 win team this season without the injuries and shortened offseason

Next season I could see a 12 win season if everything goes right, which we are talking about the Rams, so….

This is the same system we ran in '99 under Vermeil and Martz
Ok good you cleared that up

because you were confusing the hell out of me…

yea damn keyboard, i hit enter prematurally
last paragraph

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coryell_offense

Interesting

I just want to see a winning season, not only for the fans but for SJax, god knows he deserves it..

The good thing about fish is......

He Has Ballzzzz!!!!!
