Jeff Fisher: Former Lions HC Jim Schwartz deserves another chance

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher believes his former defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz, will be a head coach in the NFL again.

Schwartz, who is consulting with the NFL and its officials this season, was the head coach of the Detroit Lions from 2009 to 2013 and then was the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills in 2014. He stepped away from coaching for the 2015 season to work with the league.

"Jim is deserving of another opportunity, you really just have to wait and see what happens," Fisher said.
