Browns - Jim Schwartz is the new DC | Barking Hard

Browns Jim Schwartz is the new DC

Here's what I'm hoping. He brings a football energy and gut feel to the Harvard bunch, when it comes to replacing Clowney and the IDL.

He was a Browns scout in 1993, 1994, and 1995.

This makes too much sense. Allows Kevin to focus 100% on the offense. Honestly, I like it for that reason alone -- with Schwartz taking care of that side of the ball (and, without the distractions of intermittently babysitting, neck-craning, nail biting, and hair pulling as was the case with Woods), Kevin now has no excuse for an underperforming offense.
 
Love the positive reviews. I will say...

Flores - was a temporary choice, he wants to bean HC again, as we all know
The rest - were unproven, compared to Schwartz.

The Lions fans can lol all they want about it, but they are remembering the HC version, not the Philly Super Bowl DC champ version.

He's a Georgetown grad. I suppose the Ivy Leaguers were "ok" with that. ;)
 
Wiki highlights

Coaching career​

Early coaching career​

Schwartz got his start in the NFL doing research for Bill Belichick on the Cleveland Browns staff in the mid-1990s.

Detroit Lions​

The 2009 season was Schwartz's first as Detroit's head coach and he posted a 2–14 record, with victories coming against the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Browns.[11]

In 2010, Schwartz saw his Lions begin the season with a 2–10 record, but they finished with four consecutive wins against the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings.[12]

In 2011, the Lions returned to the postseason for the first time since 1999, clinching a playoff berth following a 38–10 victory over the San Diego Chargers.[13]

Buffalo Bills​

On January 24, 2014, Schwartz was hired by the Buffalo Bills as the defensive coordinator. Schwartz's defense was one of the top defenses statistically in the NFL, and led the league in sacks.[19]

During the 2014 season, the Bills went 4–0 against NFC North opponents, which Schwartz had coached against for the previous five seasons. On October 5, 2014, the Bills defeated Schwartz's former team, the Detroit Lions, by a final score of 17–14, in Detroit.[20] Schwartz was carried off the field by his players after the game.

The Bills ended the season fourth in the NFL in points and yards allowed per game with 18.1 and 312.2, respectively, while ranking third in takeaways with 30.[22]

Despite the success, head coach Doug Marrone resigned at the end of the season and new Bills coach Rex Ryan decided to bring in his own personnel, rather than retaining Schwartz.[24]

2015 season​

For the 2015 season, Schwartz took a consulting position with the NFL's officiating department to provide a coach's perspective on officiating decisions

Philadelphia Eagles​

On January 19, 2016, Schwartz was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles to be their defensive coordinator under coach Doug Pederson.[27] Inheriting one of the league's worst defenses, Schwartz made an immediate impact. Implementing his 4-3 defense, Schwartz turned around the defense that previously ranked 30th in yards allowed and 28th in points allowed to 13th and 12th in his first season and fourth in both categories during his second.[28] He would eventually lead the defense to his and the Eagles' first Super Bowl championship in Super Bowl LII.[29] On January 7, 2021, Schwartz announced that he was going to step away from coaching and resigned from the Eagles.[30][31]
 
this is the one piece we needed to fix to make this team a winner.
Ive been sayin it for years and years.one man can transform this football team into a winner.
a proven,experienced,dedicated DC? and this team can win it all.
no matter the QB.Its not as important as getting this right.mark my words.this D will spring to life
like the phoenix from the ashes of despair.he's really a front 7 specialist being an ex-LB coach and
has an obvious emphasis on his 4-3 bringing pressure which he has consistently done.

a front 7 man now? OMG I am so pumped.he gets to come in and attack FA and the draft with
plenty of time to plan.he was a scout for 3 years and OLB coach for the 96-98 ravens.wow.
any news on bringing #99 with you jimbo?interesting hes coming from
a wild,uber aggressive 3-4 system in TENN.h'ell be a solid 4-3 guy Im sure.
so its a 180 in D philosophy.GOOD! we live in the jungle baby,with tigers and ravens n sh^t.
we need to play great D to win here.its as simple as that.

THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST MOST IMPORTANT MOVE THE BROWNS HAVE MADE SINCE HIRING KS.
write that down

That's a consistently good run defense year in and year out. Right out of the BB school of making an offense one dimensional. Doesn't seem to be one to put up with buffoonery. He made Harbaugh look weak right there. Welcome back to the AFC North.
