ANAHEIM, Calif. – Jim Schwartz wants to be the top dog again, make no mistake about that.
The Eagles defensive coordinator, understandably, dodged the notion when asked on Tuesday if he still aspired to be an NFL head coach.
“I’ll pass on that question,” Schwartz said at the Westin South Coast Plaza. “We have enough to get ready for the Rams, and I think it does nobody any good to mention that. There is really no right way to answer that. If you answer it and say, ‘Yes,’ then your eyes are on the wrong thing. You answer it and say, ‘No,’ then people …”
Schwartz didn’t finish his thought, but if he had, he would have likely said that a denial of any interest would signal to “people” [read: executives] around the league that he wasn’t serious enough about the possibility and he would thus be taken off their prospective lists.
