Well, another coach, and another round of high hopes and actual
optimism.
I hope it works out, but I wonder if Jim Schwartz, the new Lions head
coach, will ever work as a head coach for another NFL team.
While Bobby Ross went on to lead Army (and Dick Jauron went on to
Buffalo, but he was only an interim coach who went 1-4 after Steve
Mariucci was canned), the Lions often is the last top job.
Seems like he has the right background, but time will tell.
It has to be intimidating, going into the draft with the worst team
ever and a top pick. It seems like an easy opportunity for disaster,
but he has one thing going for him -- he's fearless, coming to work
for the Fords and the Lions.
