FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -Jets coach Rex Ryan has sent a game ball to Marty Schottenheimer following New York’s playoff upset of San Diego.
The father of the Jets’ offensive coordinator, Schottenheimer was fired three years ago as coach of the Chargers after a 14-2 regular season.
Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday that he was touched when he learned of his boss’ gesture two days earlier – and joked that it didn’t even occur to him to do it.
Marty Schottenheimer was fired in February 2007 after the Chargers lost their first playoff game despite the NFL’s best record. He had 35 wins and two AFC West titles in his last three seasons in San Diego, where his son was quarterbacks coach from 2002-05.
