Jim Schwartz reportedly resigns as Browns DC after being passed up for team's head-coaching job
After the Cleveland Browns passed him up for their head-coaching vacancy, Jim Schwartz is resigning as their defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports Friday.
Schwartz is under contract, so he's not a free agent at the moment, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He's expected to sit out next season, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
Browns head coach Todd Monken will have to search for a new DC.
Jim Schwartz made clear he wanted out after being passed over for the head coaching job. The Browns wanted to keep him, but after discussions, Schwartz stood firm and now is expected to sit out this season. https://t.co/0xlMkrQFro
