The Facts:
ESPN reported Saturday the Jets are showing interest in former Dolphins coach Tony Sparano for an undisclosed position. This confirms they're serious about revamping the offensive staff. They want everyone to think they'd welcome back Brian Schottenheimer if he doesn't land a head-coaching job, but ESPN.com's Rich Cimini would "be stunned if he's back."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Cimini went so far as to advise readers he could see Schottenheimer making a lateral move before returning. ... Meanwhile, league insiders tell Cimini the Jets are trying to save as much as possible on Schottenheimer's remaining contract -- two years, $3.2 million. (They'd have to eat it if they fire him.) That enormous, two-year extension he received last offseason, was a reason why they couldn't get OL coach Bill Callahan to re-sign before the end of the season. Apparently, the rising tide doesn't lift all boats, as far as the Jets are concerned.
