It was announced Monday that former Detroit Lions Head Coach Jim Schwartz will be working with NFL officials as a consultant during the 2015 NFL season.
Per Paula Pasche of the Oakland Press, “Schwartz will be giving NFL officials a Head Coaches perspective on some decisions made by the officiating office.
This is an interesting hire. It’s interesting because any Detroit Lions fan can tell you that Schwartz has had his issues with the NFL rule book in the past. Whether it was telling opposing Head Coaches to quote “Learn the (expletive) rules” Or showing his own lack of knowledge on NFL rules on Thanksgiving Day in front of the entire country.
