John--a little known fact is that Lou Gehrig's birth name was Schwartz. His parents, fearing antisemitism, changed their name shortly after his birth. So, if you add Lou to the list, the Schwartzes did pretty good.

Good fire- they gave him 5 years. That's plenty of time, and there's no shortage of talent, at least at the "skilled positions."

I liked Schwartz, but it was surely time to go. The team took another second half of the season nosedive. They had zero fire. I am hoping we can land a decent coach. The team has some really good talent at many positions, and I'd like to think this is one of the best job openings amongst all the firings.
Best, Andy |

Seems like a decent move, but I think one big reason their team wasn't as successful as maybe they should have been was it seemed to be ran like a fantasy squad. As much as I like points, all they wanted to do was feed Megatron. All of the stats were nice, but it wasn't always the right play to execute. I've kinda lost faith in Stafford this year...just too much of a gunslinger for me...I think they would be better off with more balance and a better game manager behind center.
I think a lot of people have been waiting for Marvin Lewis to be fired for the past few years, but that move never happened and they were one of the better teams this years. Although Schwartz had five years, maybe he wasn't the ultimate problem.

Shouldn't this be in the water cooler section, not the pre WW2 baseball card section?

Ice Machine Section needed?
I don't mind this thread on the main board, but you are certainly correct about the water being cooler in Detroit than almost everywhere, except Green Bay of course.
