Zampese likely to stay; Jackson talks to Miami
Former Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Al Saunders has moved to the head of the class for the same job with the Rams, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has reported.
The Redskins parted ways with Saunders and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams over the weekend, in the wake of the retirement of Joe Gibbs as head coach.
Bengals quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese and former Bengals wide receivers coach Hue Jackson had been the only candidates for the Rams coordinators job to interview with head coach Scott Linehan.
Jackson spent 2007 as Atlanta Falcons coordinator, and he would like to stay in a play-calling position in the NFL. The Bengals would like to bring him back as receivers coach.
UPDATED: Jan. 29, 8:25 a.m.
The Palm Beach Post reported this morning that Jackson has interviewed for the offensive coordinator job with the Miami Dolphins, joining several other candidates.

Post a Comment*Jackson would be a good "re-addition" ... I don't think it's a coincidence that there were some issues with the receivers the year he's been gone.
It could be money well spent to have Jackson's effect on the "jumpy-cat" receiving corp.
This comment is spot-on; "Jackson would be a good "re-addition" ... I don't think it's a coincidence that there were some issues with the receivers the year he's been gone". The Tigers traditionally have fewer coaches than most other NFL teams. Adding Jackson to the staff will not hurt the bottom line in-so-much as his expertise will lead to better performaces and thus more wins. The bottom line that the "lesser Brown" seems to lose track of is that Better performance = more wins. More wins = increased revenue. Increased revenue usually = higher profits. Wouldn't this be a win/win for all? Why is the "lesser Browns" perspective so warped regarding these tryed-and- true precepts??
When Dey?
While Jackson may have been the glue that held the receivers together during his tenure in Cincy, Zampese is a bigger part of this puzzle. I hope that Ken Z. gets a serious look at the OC position with the Bengals this time next year when Bratkowski's calls continue to stale and go stagnant. Ken Z. has a brighter future as a play caller, not to mention his tight relationship with C. Palmer. This not to downplay the contributions of H. Jackson either. One would like to think the "brain trust" (I use that term loosely) would also see that. And agreed: WHEN DEY?
