The Lions have (1) Good season loose in the first round of the playoffs! And now people are picking them to win the superbowl let’s maybe see them win the division or maybe a playoff game! Say when was the last time the Lions won a playoff game? The NFC north is gonna be a dog fight!! And the Lions are still little KITTENS

Everyone rags on Schwartz for anything and everything…and I hope it continues. What people neglect to remember is that this team was 0-16 not too long ago. So he is obviously doing something right. Something that Bobby Ross, Steve Mariucci, Rod Marinelli, Marty Morningweg couldnt figure out.

The reason why all of these coaches besides Bobby Ross failed is because of Matt Millen. They couldn’t do what they wanted. Millen controlled everything remember???

Will we ever see another article about a team’s coach yelling at a player for a chinstrap? no. we will not. Only because its the Lions, was this spun into a negative article.

All you lion haters keep talkin…he is the best coach from the hired class of 2009…and a top 10 coach in league now…all that said he does need to work on the discipline part of his coaching

its not about the swearing but the lack of self control shown time and time again by Schwartz and the resulting consequences are manifested in the team he runs. Over and over again.

While the Lions players may not be off the arrest blotter, they sure as hell will be buckling their chinstraps.

Oh, and on the topic of cussing: 1) A coach cussing out his player for not being ready at camp vs. an opposing coach or team member cussing your way after a hard-fought game aren’t remotely the same situation. 2) If Broyles and the team are ok with Schwartz (and they are), then MDS’ concern (and any of the armchair psychoanalysts) is completely irrelevant and, frankly, worth little.

So let me understand this? Schwarts is offended when being cursed at! But it’s ok when he’s the one cursing! That’s the story! not the fact the player could handle his tirade, What do you think the player was gonna say ” He hurt my feelings ” cursing is part of football all coaches do it some more than others. To me cursing is just ones lack of ability to find a proper way of expressing ones self!! We all do it way to much and for no good reason. players safety please!!

Schwartz is actually getting criticized by alleged football fans for cussing out a rookie who wasn’t ready to go when his number was called? WOW!!! What’s next – Schwartz is such a tool cuz he never tells a player “Good try” when the player almost catches the ball, or almost makes a tackle.

Let’s see how he reacts when he gets a “Rough” handshake from The Commish as he’s accepting the Lombardi Trophy…

Hey Jimmy Schwartz…you cant have your cake and eat it too…….cant wait for your sorry team to visit the stick in week 2. We will try not to unleash to many obscenities your way, but no promises.

Schwartz should worry about having his maxipad in place as much as a player’s chinstrap … after all of the Lions’ off field issues, Schwartz’s response to a loose chinstrap is obviously disproportionate.

funktron2x — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 02:37:10 +0000

LOL @ everyone overanalyzing this. Schwartz is well known for being extremely irritable with players who aren’t moving at the speed he expects in practice. And despite the diagnoses of armchair psychoanalysts who populate internet forums – you never hear anything but love for Jim from the players. Why? Because they’re a tight-knit lockerroom with a coach who cares about each of them individually while still holding them accountable for their mistakes in practice and games. That and, of course, the improvement every season and continual addition of talent to the roster…

Playing with an unbuckled chin strap in a game has resulted in a fine as high as $10,000 or could result in a concussion. The language used towards Broyles was out of concern and with constructive direction. Broyles even mentioned he appreciated it. The language used by Harbaugh to Schwartz was used to insult. Grown ups understand the difference.

I’ve always thought Schwartz was a huge tool. But he has every right to get on Broyles for something that small; it showed Broyles lacked focus. You also gotta practice player safety at all times. Especially since Broyles himself is coming off an injury which ended his college career prematurely.

Nothing is funnier though than when Nick Saban made 300+ lb Manuel Wright cry.
