Jim Schwartz explains his resignation from the Cleveland Browns

Jim Schwartz resigned from the Cleveland Browns after being passed over for the head coaching position, despite significant defensive success. Schwartz felt he could not effectively do his job after the organization hired an offensive coach, Todd Monken, believing a "forced marriage" wouldn't work. Schwartz's defense was highly successful, ranking among the league's best for three seasons. This was the second time the Browns did not select him for head coach.
