Jim Schwartz job search update

[swiper]

Not looking too good at the moment. Is he being selective or shunned?

Who else needs a DC? Washington? Who else?

Schwartz hasn’t found himself in the mix for any other coordinator openings around the league, something he says is fine with him as he waits for the right opportunity to continue his coaching career.

“I saw the opening up in Buffalo as a good opportunity, so I took it. But no, right now, I can’t see myself doing anything else. Coaching is something I love, something I have a passion about. Another opportunity will present itself. I’m not too concerned.”

Re: Jim Schwartz job search update

I was confused as to why the Redskins didn't interview Schwartz when he became available unless they had their eyes on someone else but wanted to bring in Schwarz for an interview and see what he had to offer. ie explore all options.

Re: Jim Schwartz job search update

More, from the Baltimore Sun article:

"I've known Rex for a long time," Schwartz said. "I have a lot of respect for him as a person, and for what he has done and his schemes. But like there are certain players who fit in with other players, the same is true with coaches."

Basically, Ryan wanted to bring pressure all the time and he blitzes often. Schwartz likes to get pressure with his front four. In Ryan's scheme, cornerbacks can be left alone and unprotected. In Schwartz's scheme, you're probably going to need a stud or two on the defensive line.

Also, Ryan isn't going to let anyone coach his defense except him. Several teams like the Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco are still in the market for coordinators.

Re: Jim Schwartz job search update

I liked Schwartz system better because he doesn't have to blitz to get to the qb.

We could use extra men to cover NE's tight ends.

That was peculiar since they wanted to interview him when he wasn't available.

-Arians has said Arizona has their DC (not LeBeau) and will anounce today or tomorrow. Doubt it will be Schwartz.

I think he's going to sit out a year.

Schwart2 is better off playng it cool than taking a DC job for a crap team.

He established his rep last year.

I liked it better because it was better.

Re: Jim Schwartz job search update

And this is why the organization should have allowed him to interview for the Redskins job back when they asked.

lets face it. JS was bound to leave at some point .

Not all defensive minded coaches end up with having top defenses but at least with Rexy, we are bound to have one based on his history.

Re: Jim Schwartz job search update

Did Atlanta hire a DC? Unless I'm mistaken, they still need to fill out a staff, including HC.

Latest word has them waiting on Dan Quinn for HC, and signing Broncos LB coach Richard Smith as DC :

Not if he was the head coach.

Re: Jim Schwartz job search update

Not if he was the head coach.

then we'd be arguing who is a better HC, Rexy or Schwartz. IMO, Rexy has a SLIGHTLY upper hand as a HC.

I don't know who Schwartz would have chosen as his OC, but I'm liking Roman.
