Let’s get to know Schwartz some more:
Last job:
He has been the Cleveland Browns’ defensive coordinator since 2023. He is still under contract. He was a finalist for the head-coaching job that went to Todd Monken. The Browns could try to keep Schwartz, even though he reportedly wants to move on.
Age:
He is 59.
Coaching experience:
He has 29 seasons of NFL coaching experience. He has 17 seasons experience as an NFL defensive coordinator. He was also the head coach of the Detroit Lions from 2009-13.
Other interest:
In addition to possibly staying in Cleveland, Schwartz repoetedly could be a candidate with the Philadelphia Eagles if Vic Fangio retires.
Why the Raiders are interested:
Schwartz is an experienced, successful defensive coordinator who had a strong unit in Cleveland. He is one of the best options available and could be considered a coup for Kubiak if Schwartz lands in Las Vegas.
