Titans’ Schwartz to coach Lions
Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2009 4:31 pm
Jim Schwartz insisted he loves challenges.
Well, he’s got one.
The Detroit Lions, the NFL’s first 0-16 team, agreed Thursday on a four-year deal with Schwartz to make him their next coach.
The former Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator will be introduced at a Friday news conference at Ford Field, where Detroit lost its home games last year by an average of 21.4 points to break another dubious league record.
The 42-year-old Schwartz just finished his eighth season as the Titans’ defensive coordinator and his 10th on their staff. He interviewed for a second time with the Lions on Monday.
