In the wake of the Falcons being rebuffed (code word for "used") by Bill Parcells, the team may be turning its attention to former Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer.
Nothing is imminent, but the fact that Schottenheimer is on their radar is a positive development for a franchise in desperate need of leadership.
We thought Schottenheimer would have been a solid choice in Miami to clean up that mess, but it's unlikely that Parcells will turn to the 64-year-old coach to be the Dolphins' sideline boss. Schottenheimer has shown too often in the past that he wants a strong hand in personnel matters, and it wouldn't be the right fit with Parcells calling the shots.
