  • gadlaw, on 01/16/2009, -1/+9First you get No Wins and All Loses - then you get the Schwartz. May the Schwartz be with you.

  • PadenX, on 01/16/2009, -0/+6Nice to meet you Jim, kiss your career goodbye!
  • maxer64, on 01/16/2009, -0/+5We need at least seven more drug addicted wide receivers. Sadly I don't think we're going to get it.. this guy actually looks like a solid choice. Looks like we'll have to start cheering for the Lions again. Damn. Not caring was so much easier.
  • dannykeene, on 01/15/2009, -0/+5 Does he have sharp shovels and picks? Does he have outstanding will?
  • Bobboq, on 01/16/2009, -0/+4Title should read, "Jim Schwartz named coach of Detroit Lions. To be fired in two years"
  • Ratekin, on 01/16/2009, -0/+4Because the last defensive coordinator turned coach did such a great job.
  • jkendal4, on 01/16/2009, -0/+4I'm gonna go out on a limb and say detroit will not do worse next year
  • yacks, on 01/16/2009, -0/+4well they can go 0-15-1 ;)
  • yacks, on 01/16/2009, -0/+3only on certain sundays when football teams come to detroit to toss the ball around.
  • whoreable, on 01/16/2009, -1/+3May the Schwartz be with you.
  • FattJesus, on 01/16/2009, -1/+3This will be his first, and last head coaching gig.
  • bingostud722, on 01/16/2009, -1/+3Superbowl 2010?????????
  • blaxicopurress, on 01/16/2009, -0/+2detroit has a football team?
  • FloorModel, on 01/17/2009, -0/+2yeah but unfortunately 0 X 2 = 0
  • phyx726, on 01/16/2009, -1/+3Better than being Oakland's
  • endlessmike49, on 01/16/2009, -0/+2My team (the Lions) will still suck this fall.
  • pinchduck, on 01/16/2009, -0/+2A bonus year for us in Detroit: We get a new coach and a new quarterback to slowly drive to the breaking point. Fresh faces and optimism turn to haggard self-doubt and paranoia in about 3 years. I hope I'm wrong, but this club has it down to a system.
  • jedinate, on 01/16/2009, -0/+2I feel good about this pick, they should be able to double their win total, from last year, easily.
  • thefox84, on 01/16/2009, -1/+2Not Detroit's best year...
  • syntaxgs, on 01/16/2009, -1/+2IT would be funny if they were called Detroit Loins =D
  • FriedSperm, on 01/17/2009, -0/+1Coaches who have a background education in economics tend to be badass coaches, usually.
  • IRAcarbombs, on 01/16/2009, -1/+2Jim for President
  • FloorModel, on 01/17/2009, -0/+1at least I got a whole new Lion's wardrobe at reduced prices, hopefully next season I can wear it and not apologize for it...
  • Foot56, on 01/16/2009, -1/+2He's screwed.
  • jedinate, on 01/17/2009, -0/+1Exactly my point...
  • Redrevolver19, on 01/21/2009, -0/+0Here comes Matt Cassel :D
  • bruin8uclap, on 01/16/2009, -1/+1The Schwartz is strong with this one.
    The Detriot Lions?
