Exactly. Nobody of consequence was going to take this job, because everyone already knew that Fat Mike is the OC and play caller. So this hire doesn’t move the needle either way for me.
It does a little because of who it is. Nobody with any ambition would take what amounts to a year to prove it with McCarthy or move on when he gets canned.
My real issue is who the coach is, not what their lane will be.
Schottenheimer isn't some young kid looking for a way to learn. He's a mediocre career lifer that will not bring much to the table other than executing what McCafthy tells him to.
I really don't think our offense makes any stride with a move like this unless the offense gets another WR1, new starting stud TE and a back.
This is a league where it is becoming very evident that to succeed offensively, you had better be on top of the game in terms of innovation, disguise and execution. Unless there is something Schottenheimer is hiding, we did not improve our situation.
