The former Eagles coach was passed over for a job and left his team's facility 'visibly upset.'
Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz leans on a blocking dummy as he watches his defensive linemen work out during the first day of rookie minicamp in Berea.Schwartz was one of the finalists for the job, but the Browns announced they were hiring former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator“After the Browns informed DC Jim Schwartz this morning that they were passing him over to hire Todd Monken as head coach, Schwartz was visibly upset, said goodbyes in the building and told other coaches he’s not coming back,” Pelissero said.
“The relationship between the Browns and DC Jim Schwartz will ‘need significant repairing’ after he was passed over for the HC job,” Schultz said. “Schwartz is currently under contract but was anticipating getting the HC job.

Despite the Browns finishing this season with a 5-12 record, their defense kept them in a lot of games. The Browns finished fourth in the league in total defense, allowing 283.6 yards per game. They also ranked third in pass defense and sacks . The two teams that would make sense for Schwartz to land if he were released from his contract would be with the San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills. The 49ers are seeking a replacement for, who left to become the new head coach of the Tennessee Titans. The Bills are looking for a new defensive coordinator with Both the 49ers and Bills play a 4-3 defense, so there would not have to be a significant personnel overhaul to fit a new defense. Also, both teams would need a veteran presence to take over that side of the ball, especially with the pressure to produce in the playoffs and make a deep run next season.Chris Franklin is an NFL reporter for NJ Advance Media, covering anything and everything that has to do with the team.
