Allen Park — Jim Schwartz was unable to snap the Super Bowl streak in Detroit.
But while he scratched that itch in Philadelphia, Schwartz also seems poised to someday foil the coaching curse that comes with leading the Lions.
Not only have the Lions not played in the Super Bowl since its 1967 inception, only one of the 15 former head coaches in that span has been hired for another head coaching job: Dick Jauron, who coached five games for Detroit in 2005 on an interim basis and later coached Buffalo for four seasons.
