Here is an article about Baby Schott and Rex Ryan from the bleacher report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By Terence O’Neill<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jet fans\u00a0are hoping Rex Ryan can\u00a0repeat the defensive magic he worked\u00a0during his time\u00a0with the Ravens. His father, Buddy Ryan, was part of the Jets coaching staff\u00a0in 1969 when they beat the then Baltimore Colts.<\/p>\n

That Jets\u00a0win remains\u00a0the biggest upset in\u00a0Super Bowl history, even more so than the 2008 New York football Giants.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Marty Schottenheimer,\u00a0as head\u00a0coach of the San Diego Chargers, lost to the underdog Jets in\u00a0overtime\u00a0during the\u00a02005 playoffs.<\/p>\n

Current\u00a0Jets offensive coordinator and son\u00a0Brian Schottenheimer was the quarterbacks coach for the Chargers at that time.<\/p>\n

Ryan followed in his father’s shoes, and became known as a defensive stalwart. The younger Schottenheimer also followed his father into the NFL, but on the other side of the football.<\/p>\n

Marty Schottenheimer\u00a0was a\u00a0NFL linebacker,\u00a0Brian played quarterback at Florida behind Heisman winner Danny Wuerffel.<\/p>\n

The elder Schottenheimer earned his NFL stripes\u00a0as the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns in 1980 before taking over the reigns to the team in 1984.<\/p>\n

The Jets defense\u00a0is expected to fulfill their potential, equipped\u00a0with an athletically gifted squad. However, the Jets offense is where the season can be made or lost.<\/p>\n

Rex Ryan’s\u00a0strongest move\u00a0to-date as head coach\u00a0is retaining Brian Schottenheimer as the offensive coordinator after\u00a0being passed over for the Jets\u00a0top coaching job.<\/p>\n

With the Chargers, Brian Schottenheimer is given credit for reviving Drew Brees’ all but dead career.<\/p>\n

With the Jets,\u00a0he implemented a shotgun offense into the playbook a few years back, and has\u00a0accomplished a lot in\u00a0less than ideal circumstances considering the frequent change of quarterbacks in his four years as offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

While in San Diego, he\u00a0watched\u00a0one quarterback competition play out back in 2005, with Brees and top five draft pick Philip Rivers.<\/p>\n

Being through that experience will help him\u00a0manage this year’s battle between Kellen Clemens and Mark Sanchez.<\/p>\n

He has a solid running game right now with Thomas Jones leading the way and Leon Washington (thankfully, he’s back), and possibly even third round draft pick Shonn Greene\u00a0will get some touches.<\/p>\n

What remains to be answered is whether a powerful running game will be enough to open up a successful passing game with two unproven quarterbacks and a young wide receiving corps.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer claims Cotchery is ready to be given the chance as a number one wide receiver (hey, he has had 80\u00a0receptions two of his last three seasons) and a supporting cast of\u00a0Chansi Stuckey,\u00a0Brad Smith, and speedster David Clowney will try to make up for the loss of Laveranues\u00a0Coles.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer has all summer to hone his offense, as does Ryan on the D.<\/p>\n

If the Jets are going to\u00a0make\u00a0a Super Bowl appearance within the next\u00a0four years as Rex Ryan has\u00a0promised,\u00a0the second generation of two famous NFL coaches are going to have to make the tough decisions in order to once again reach the Promised Land, 40 years after Rex watched his father help lead\u00a0the J-E-T-S\u00a0to victory.<\/p>\n
