According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher is scheduled to meet with ex-New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer on Sunday about filling the same position in St. Louis. Schottenheimer coordinated the Jets offense for six seasons before resigning from his position after a 2011 season that saw the Jets fall to 29th in total offense and was colored by a stagnancy, if not an outright regression, in Mark Sanchez's progression.

Schottenheimer has also reportedly been in talks with the Alabama Crimson Tide and Jacksonville Jaguars, but the appeal of the Rams, with a franchise QB in Sam Bradford and a new, secure head coach may win out. Whether Rams fans will feel like accepting the director of 2011 Mark Sanchez is another story.
