Schwartz Fired!
Jim Schwartz was fired as head coach of the Detroit Lions yesterday, on what has become known as "Black Monday" throughout the NFL (National Football League). Schwartz was responsible for a 29-51 record in five seasons with the Lions, and a late season collapse most certainly sealed the fate of the former head coach. The Lions had a 6-3 record after nine games, and with key injuries to Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, and Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears, it appeared as if the Lions had a clear-cut path to the playoffs. The Lions have plenty of talent on their roster, but they will not be a part of the postseason for the second straight year. Jim Schwartz lead Detroit to the playoffs in 2011, but the Lions suffered a 45-28 loss at New Orleans in the first round.
Three other NFL head coaches were fired yesterday on "Black Monday" including Mike Shanahan (Washington Redskins), Leslie Frazier (Minnesota Vikings), and Greg Schiano (Tampa Bay Buccaneers). On Sunday night, the Cleveland Browns relieved Rob Chudzinski of his head coaching duties after just one season.
