Jets' coordinators wind up the big winners of offseason shopping spree

Although there are many who feel the Jets overspent on their barnstorming offseason haul, there's little doubt that purely from a personnel standpoint, they've significantly upgraded their talent. And the word we're hearing is that the two people who stand to benefit the most from the personnel windfall are offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Bob Sutton. Both were outfitted with talented performers (OLG Alan Faneca, ORT Damien Woody and FB Tony Richardson on offense; NT Kris Jenkins and OLB Calvin Pace on defense) but are immune to the criticism that head coach Eric Mangini and GM Mike Tannenbaum will surely receive should the acquisitions underperform. The newcomers are especially welcome, considering both coordinators have much on the line in '08. Schottenheimer is viewed in league circles as an up-and-comer who figures to land head-coaching interviews after the season if his unit performs well

i don't disagree. Maybe Schotty can go back to the offense he ran in '06 rather than last years 10 yard out and pick 6
