I think you put that right, actually.
He's quite possibly told Jerry that he thinks he ought to consider Schottenheimer, or if he hadn't, he did so publicly yesterday.
That's a whole different thing than Jerry having told Jimmy that Schottenheimer is being considered.
In fact, the former is what we know. All we know. And the fact that he hasn't already been interviewed should leave a lot of doubt b/c there's never been a moment in the last week that they could not have gotten him in for an interview.
Fluff.
