The Georgia offense plummeted in its one year under Schottenheimer. The offense fell from eighth in scoring offense in Mike Bobo's final year to 85th under Schottenheimer. Georgia also went from 30th in total offense to 83rd under Schottenheimer.
It's also worth noting that Schottenheimer has never had a top 10 offense in the NFL, as his offenses have struggled in his stops as an offensive coordinator with the New York Jets (2006-11) and the then-St. Louis Rams (2012-14). Schottenheimer will get to coach Russell Wilson, who is undoubtedly the best quarterback he's had.
Kirby Smart replaced Schottenheimer with Jim Chaney. After a rocky first season, the Georgia offense became one of the best in the country, particularly on the ground. The Bulldogs finished ninth in the country in rushing offense this season. Georgia finished with a 13-2 record, losing to Alabama in overtime in the national championship game.

I wonder who Kyle has in mind to replace him. It's a pretty good idea to have a defensive minded guy like that as the Asst. HC. to oversee the defense to free Shanny up of other coaching duties so he can concentrate on a killer offense.

I foresee a bigger role for Demeco Ryans.

Again how about we make a role for Kris Richard??

Advisement or position?

He knows this defense, was DC for 3 yrs in Seattle and DB coach before. If they can make a role for Norton why not him?

I'd be cool with that, but I don't think the type of position we would offer is the type of job he's looking for. I think he will insist on a DC spot since a HC spot doesn't look like it will happen this year.
