As you’ve most likely heard by now, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will be interviewed by the Cleveland Browns for their vacant head coaching position on Wednesday. Schwartz is often the easy scapegoat for the Eagles defensive struggles, but in reality, he’s been one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL since his arrival in Philly.
