We have no idea what the conversations between ownership and Schwarz were leading up to the hiring of the new HC. Claiming "He's not a good HC" is the same thing Tennessee fans said about Vrabel who will be coaching in the SB Sunday. It's the same thing their GM and owner thought too. I know I'm not qualified to say those things about Schwartz and I highly doubt you are either.

He's just trolling.

Said no defense attorney anywhere that expects to win his case.

True for the most part, but as a fan, it keeps on getting more and more difficult to stay true to the team. I doubt that I'm going anywhere, but man, it sure can be difficult at times...

You may wish to rethink that.

I just think Schwartz is being dramatic, there is a good reason that the Browns did not hire Schwartz as head coach and that is because he is not a good head coach

I'll take payment in Bitcoin!

I don't know, I pretty much expected this. I actually don't understand what the "mistake" was. I mean, if Schwartz is not your man for the HC position, he was obviously leaving.

The only mistake I've seen was telling prospects keeping Schwartz was "non-negotiable"; if that was, in fact, the case.

There are definitely times when the FO/owners look buffoonish.

I don’t understand how we continuously make these mistakes and look bad. Doesn’t anyone think things out?

I am now hoping the Browns promote Jason Tarver Linebackers coach. He knows Schwartz's system really well and his linebackers have been responsible for calling the defensive when the offense audibles. He has been with Browns wince 2020 and has developed players like JOK, Devin Bush, Carson Schweisinger etc... Hoping he is next in line to keep the gang together as much as possible.

My disdain for Haslam knows mo bounds

Emerson is an unrestricted free agent.



Congrats to Schwesinger. Nice speech last night as his mom get emotional in the audience.

Browns statement...

Wasn't there an issue with Teller and Ski in the second half of the season . Playing time ..

Yep - resigned this morning.

So Leavitt tries to claim that Trump was talking about voter ID - which of course Trump failed to mention ONCE in his little tirade .... and then Trump goes on a second time - fails to mention voter ID and still continues to talk about elections being run at the federal level .... oh and for good measure once again claiming voter fraud and things which have not a shred of evidence and in fact have been disproven in many courts.

And in separate news - Trump posts racist memes of Obama. The WH ties to defend it then takes it down. And the fanboys will continue to try to shill for this guy and probably even try to tell you that images of Obama's as apes is not racist.

cant. make. this. schiz. up

And I agree. I think we saw that truth rather dramatically when Callahan left. I don’t know how much they tried to keep his system buuuuut it didn’t work

Well, after the worst possible way of handling things and communications, this is probably the best case scenario. As soon as he told Haslam to go f himself and Monken said he didn’t chip Schwartz, this relationship was dead. There was no coming back from that. I just didn’t want some long drawn out drama or an attempt to shoehorn an angry prideful spurned coach back into the system. Now we can all move on.im just glad it’s over.

Oh it's okay for the leader of the free world to act like a complete c**t because it's a good news story? It's not a reflection of who he is ? Oh - it's all good then.

Sounds like you are being groomed what to think about those two countries and their politics... I know of some headline stories that Musk and others have tried to spread about the UK and Australia - they are false and not grounded in reality of what life in those countries is like.

London is a safe city contrary to what some outlets want to say - safer than most cities of the same size. Homicide in London 2025 - 97 people in a city of 9 million people.

The UK prosecuting individuals for telling a rioting mob to go and burn and set fire to a property where migrants were being held (and they did) is against UK laws. If you think that's anti freedom of speech, or somehow fascist or communist then I disagree.

If it's a different media story that is compelling you, then let me know the basis for your statement.

It may be true that nobody is irreplaceable but it's most certainly true that some people are much harder to replace than others. This is one of those cases.

Disappointed.

I cannot say how this was actually handled.

However it was handled; Schwartz did not like it.

I can only speculate. He probably felt he was jerked around.

Nobody is irreplaceable.

There are guys who can do the job. Banda and Tarver are internal guys who could step in and do the job.

Sounds like Schwartz is officially out here.

They're blue and he has to pwn the libs so that makes it okay.

Jim Schwartz will not return as Browns DC for 2026 season

Jim Schwartz will not return as Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator for the 2026 season, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported on Friday.

Schwartz is walking away from the franchise where he has served as DC for the past three seasons after the Browns hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their new head coach -- for which Schwartz was a finalist.

When Monken was hired, The Insiders reported that Schwartz was visibly upset at being passed over for HC and told coaches he did not plan to remain in Cleveland despite being under contract.

Rapoport, Pelissero and Garafolo reported on Friday that the Browns attempted to convince Schwartz to remain on Monken's staff but it was not to be.

Monken was asked about Scwhartz's status earlier in the week during his introductory news conference.

"I think Jim is an outstanding defensive coordinator, I think we all would agree with that," Monken told reporters on Tuesday. "But I think it's a little inappropriate for me to comment about that at this time."

In his three seasons with the Browns, Schwartz twice helmed a top-four defense in yards allowed. His unit often was the lone bright spot in a dismal 2025 campaign, and Cleveland saw Myles Garrett break the single-season sack record and win Defensive Player of the Year, while linebacker Carson Schwesinger was named Defensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday at NFL Honors.
