The day after moving on from the Jets, Brian Schottenheimer is meeting with Alabama about the team's vacant offensive coordinator position, according to The Birmingham News.

According to the report, Schottenheimer will meet with Alabama coach Nick Saban, who has interest in hiring an experienced offensive coordinator. Schottenheimer was reportedly in New Orleans for Alabama's win in the BCS National Championship Game.

Schottenheimer's six-year tenure with the Jets officially ended Tuesday. In a statement released by the team, Schottenheimer said he has decided not to return to the Jets for the 2012 season "after much thought and consideration." The Jets finished 8-8 and without a playoffs bid, and Schottenheimer's unit ranked 25th in the league.

Schottenheimer had two years and more than $3 million remaining on his contract with the team. It is unclear how that contract has been resolved.

The 38-year-old coach interviewed for the Jaguars head coaching job last week, but the team hired Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey instead.

His father, Marty Schottenheimer, is in the mix for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vacancy. But if he is hired, ESPN reported Schottenheimer would not join his father's staff as offensive coordinator, instead preferring other opportunities.
