With a handful of NFL teams still seeking a head coach, high-profile names are in short supply. Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden have chosen to remain in TV and Jeff Fisher decided Friday to join St. Louis.
But one familiar and successful coach - who has close ties to the confidant of Dolphins owner Stephen Ross - is looking for work: Marty Schottenheimer.
Schottenheimer coached the Kansas City Chiefs for a decade, and his boss for those 10 seasons was Carl Peterson, an advisor to Ross who tried to recruit Fisher to Miami.
Schottenheimer said Friday that he spoke with Peterson just last week about the possibility of resuming an NFL career that spanned 30 years. Schottenheimer also coached Cleveland, Washington and San Diego but has been out of the league since 2006.
"I told Carl I was going to make an effort to get back into the NFL, and left it at that," Schottenheimer said. "We haven't talked since. Notwithstanding the fact I'm 68, my energy level is very, very high, and I have the same drive and motivation I've always had.
"I think the Dolphins are a good football team," he added, "one that's got some players who have a chance to step up and make things happen in a positive way."
Schottenheimer, whose NFL record is 200-126-1, has interviewed with Tampa Bay for its coaching vacancy and is considered a leading candidate.
He was fired after a 14-2 season with San Diego in '06 because of the Chargers' post-season failures and his strained relationship with General Manager A.J. Smith. Schottenheimer admitted Friday that he thought he was done with coaching until the United Football League approached him early last year.

I think marty would be a fine hire but teams are basically discriminating against him because of his age.
 
Wouldn't mind him at all. He always takes his teams to the playoffs.
 
Marty Ball = Profit

Hire Marty as HC, Brian as OC, and ****ing DESTROY Rex, Tony Morono, and Sanchez next season.

Im speaking about NFL teams. Did not know any nfl team wanted Ron paul lol. I do think fans have a misguided view that a young coach is better than an older coach.
As for Ron Paul I respect his grind and fire but he is a loon that will never get elected president
 
First of all I love Ron Paul big supporter here lol, and lets remember Marv Levy took the Bills to 4 straight super bowls when he was 66 years old
 
I wouldn't mind him at all. I'd love to get to the point where we whine that this team can never win in the playoffs. Better than having a losing season every year.
 
If it means we are stuck with Marty's son on our staff no F'n way!

I know all old people move to Florida but enough already
 
BTW, Billick is pretty much begging for an interview too, so we have two successful head coaches who we wont even sniff at

I know he won't be elected I'm just saying he would probably die in office and who cares about his age he has done plenty in his 60s, I don't under stand why he has to be young to coach lol. Do they eally think the younger they are the more likely they will succeed?
