And if not him, they can always pin their hopes on Wade Phillips, who's also getting interviewed. Along with Marty "worst postseason coach ever" Schottenheimer

Probably a good thing, although hopefully they'll replace them with equally as poor coaches, if not worse

After going 13-3 the year before and just making it in this year as a wildcard, and losing in the first round both years?
I'd say it's a good thing.

Sources: Jets to hire Tony Sparano
By Chris Mortensen
ESPN
The New York Jets announced Tuesday night that offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer will not return to the team for the 2012 season.
According to league and team sources, the Jets have had former Dolphins coach Tony Sparano as their top choice to replace Schottenheimer in the event of a vacancy. The sources said the Jets are expected to announce Sparano's hiring Wednesday.
Schottenheimer was the Jets' coordinator for six seasons, the last three under Rex Ryan. Ryan maintained that he wanted Schottenheimer back for 2012, but sources at the time indicated to ESPN that a parting was imminent.
"After much thought and consideration, I have decided not to return to the New York Jets in 2012," Schottenheimer said in a statement released by the team. "I am very proud of what we have accomplished in the six years I have been here. I am grateful for the relationships that I have with our players and coaches and appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into our success. My family and I would like to thank Rex Ryan and the entire Jets organization and wish them continued success. I look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead."
Schottenheimer had two years and $3.2 million remaining on his contract. He had interviewed for the Jaguars' head-coaching vacancy, but that job went to Mike Mularkey on Tuesday night.

If Tampa hires Marty, then you can bet Brian will follow.

Schotty fails in Jax bid; Callahan to 'Boys
By Rich Cimini Jan 10 10:50 PM ET
Eventful night on the Jets' coaching front: Brian Schottenheimer is staying (for now); Bill Callahan is going.
Schottenheimer interviewed for the Jaguars' head-coaching vacancy, but Jacksonville has decided to hire Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, the Florida Times-Union reported Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Callahan was hired by the Cowboys to replace retiring offensive-line coachHudson Houck, as first reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Let's try to make some sense of these moves.
This doesn't mean Schottenheimer is back for good as the Jets' coordinator because, no matter what they say, the Jets still are hoping/expecting he lands a job elsewhere. Now there are rumblings about him becoming Nick Saban's OC at Alabama. He had been linked to the Florida OC opening, but that reportedly went to Brent Pease of Boise State.
The key question is: Did the Jets lose Callahan because of this silly dance with Schottenheimer? If they did, they should be ashamed of themselves.
They're telling everyone Schottenheimer will be back as the coordinator if he doesn't get another job, but one league insider called that a "charade," suspecting the Jets don't want to fire him so they don't have to eat the last two years of his contract ($3.2 million). The Jets have been known to pinch pennies when it comes to coaches' contracts.
Meanwhile, Callahan had no contract, as ESPNNewYork.com reported a couple of weeks ago. He opted to become a free agent, turning down a contract extension a year ago and another offer about a month before the season ended, according to sources.
I'm told Callahan would've stayed if the Jets had offered him the coordinator job, but they either couldn't or wouldn't do that. There's a big difference between couldn't and wouldn't. If it's the latter -- if they told him he wouldn't be Schottenheimer's replacement -- it means they have a solid fallback plan in place.
They're interested in former Cowboys coach Tony Sparano and former Chiefs coach Todd Haley, according to sources. It's possible they could try to bring them in as a package deal, with Sparano (OL coach) handling the running game and Haley (WRs coach) the passing game. Haley is a strong personality, known to clash with players, so that would make for an interesting dynamic with Santonio Holmes.
Former Raiders coach Hue Jackson, fired Tuesday, also is available as a potential coordinator/QB coach. He and Rex Ryan worked together in Baltimore in 2008.
Callahan spent four seasons with the Jets, presiding over one of the league's best lines for the first three years. It took a big step back this season, in large part, because he believed he could turn RT Wayne Hunter into a solid starter. That didn't work out.
Callahan won't call the plays in Dallas, so he essentially made a lateral move, which always raises eyebrows. Two days before the final game, Callahan told me, "I absolutely love it here."
Meanwhile, the Jets also said goodbye to WRs coach Henry Ellard and OLB Jeff Weeks, sources confirmed. Like Callahan, their contracts had expired. The Daily News first reported their departures.
When the season ended, Ryan scoffed at an ESPN report that said he was planning to revamp his offensive staff. Well, guess what? He's revamping.

So you can pretty much book Sparano and Haley to the Jets.

The St. Louis Rams are scheduled to interview Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski for their head coaching vacancy Thursday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
St. Louis also plan to interview New Orleans Saints assistant coach Aaron Kromer on Friday, league sources said.
The Rams also have interviewed Jeff Fisher, who's expected to choose this week between St. Louis and the Miami Dolphins.
Chudzinski interviewed for the Jaguars' head coaching job, but lost out to Mike Mularkey, whose hiring was announced Tuesday night.
Under Chudzinski, the Panthers finished seventh in the league on offense while setting a franchise record for total yards in a season. The Panthers scored 47 touchdowns.
The Rams fired coach Steve Spagnuolo after finishing 2-14 in 2011.

The Dolphins seem like a better fit for him. For whatever reason I cannot see him coaching a dome team...and that franchise, when things are right, is one of the marquee franchises in the NFL.
