9 coaches who would make the Cowboys defense better in 2026
"Getting him to Dallas would not exactly be easy. That said, the Browns are 3-11 and rumors continue to persist around head coach Kevin Stefanski's job security. If he gets fired, Schwartz would be very available. Even if Stefanski sticks around, he may opt to shake up his staff, or Schwartz may want to jump ship for somewhere more stable."
"Schwartz's scheme would also mesh well with the current roster. He cut his teeth under Jeff Fisher and Gregg Williams, and emphasizes physicality and aggression over everything. Schwartz loves playing press man coverage and, while not blitz-happy, his Browns do currently rank 10th in blitz rate. He's more selective with his blitzes, like Mike Zimmer last year, but uses simulated pressures to find ways to win with four."
The Cowboys are effectively eliminated from playoff contention after a loss to the Vikings and Dak Prescott acknowledged the situation. Criticism has focused on defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, and Jerry Jones indicated a defensive coordinator change is possible after the season. Eberflus has produced good defenses in his career, but the Dallas unit regressed after a brief post-trade-deadline improvement and now ranks among the league's worst. Nine potential replacements were suggested, highlighted by Jim Schwartz, who could become available if the Browns make staff changes. Schwartz emphasizes physicality, press-man coverage, selective blitzing, and simulated pressures that could suit the current roster.
