Excellent article on Jim Schwartz by Michael Rosenberg in today’s Detroit Free Press. More so than any other coach in recent memory I want Schwartz to succeed. He is my absolute ideal for a head coach, assuming the wins start accumulating. Sure, going into the offseason I was more in favor of Josh McDaniel, but Schwartz is cut from the same sort of cloth. I especially liked Schwartz’s rejection of “systems” and instead focusing on winning. After enduring years of system coaches it’s refreshing to have a coach who is flexible, and can adapt to the players he has. Now right now what he has isn’t very good, but another year or two of bringing in the sort of talented multi-faceted players he likes the team could finally return to respectability.
