Report: Jim Schwartz accepts Lions HC Job

[GTripp0012]

I think it will all depend on how much control he really gets in the organization.

Jim Schwartz has three main strengths:

1) He's got abilities that make finding defensive talent much easier for him than most defensive coordinators.
2) He understands offense well enough to allow his coordinator to control that side of the football, but still tell him to take a hike in the event that he says "hey, we really should get this Lloyd guy."
3) He understands percentages well and will stay out of idiotic calls.

With that said, his abilities to turn the Lions around will be limited if they don't allow him to 'shop for the groceries' as well.
