Brian Schottenheimer publicly backed his embattled coordinator all season long, but the lack of improvements or adjustments at any point throughout the year forced his hand once the season ended. Now, Schottenheimer will look for the franchise's fourth different defensive coordinator in as many seasons,"
"Schwartz checks a lot of boxes. He's coordinated some great defenses throughout his career - he held that title when the Eagles won their first Super Bowl - and also has been a head coach before, going 29-51 in five seasons with the Lions with one playoff appearance. And with the Browns moving on from Kevin Stefanski on Monday morning, Schwartz is available."

Schwartz is known for tailored schemes and selective aggression. Jim Leonhard is also listed as a top fan-favored candidate after helping Denver's secondary.
