Former Georgia Bulldogs offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has taken as job as the Passing Game Coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Schottenheimer previously worked as offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks and Schottenheimer parted ways following a rough end to the season. The Los Angeles Rams notably shut down Russell Wilson and Seattle’s offense in the postseason.
Now, Brian Schottenheimer will work under Jaguars’ head coach Urban Meyer as the Passing Game Coordinator in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have the No. 1 selection in the 2021 NFL Draft and they are expected to pick Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
For Schottenheimer it will be a fresh start. Jacksonville has the pieces for an improved offense in 2021, so he landed in a fairly decent situation. The former Georgia offensive coordinator (2015) will look for more stability. He has bounced around the NFL in six different roles as either offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach since 2001.
Interestingly, Schottenheimer played football at the University of Florida in college. Now, he’s headed back to The Sunshine State to coach with Urban Meyer.
Former Seahawks’ OC Brian Schottenheimer reached agreement to become the Jaguars’ Passing Game Coordinator, per source.
