Re: Report: Jim Schwartz accepts Lions HC Job

You may remember me from such posts in past years as "If Joe Gibbs retires, why not go after Jim Schwartz"

I think he's a great coordinator. And I suspect he can be a good coach but there are a lot of legitimate concerns. First, he's an extremely cerebral guy which may not translate to the intangible leadership, big-picture qualities needed of a head coach. Second, there are some questions of how much he was doing and how much Fisher was doing with that defense in Tennessee (I don't buy those concerns personally). And finally, and most importantly, the Lions are bad. Really really bad. Not bad like the Chiefs who actually have some good young talent to build on. But bad like...well the Lions who have so little to build on. But I'll give him 3 to 4 wins his first year.
