The Cleveland Browns hired Jim Schwartz as their new defensive coordinator, and he has had a long career in the NFL starting in the early 1990s. In total, he has been a defensive coordinator for 14 seasons with three different franchises. He also had five seasons as a head coach with the Detroit Lions. With his wealth of experience, he had the longest resume of any of the candidates the team interviewed.
Schwartz isn’t perfect but he has experienced some success just about everywhere he has worked in the league. The team needs him to be better than Joe Woods and the numbers show that he is a definitive upgrade.
