The 0-16s (aka Lions) have found their man...
...but it's not the man to the right. We'll get to him in a second.
According to ESPN.com, the Lions have decided on Jim Schwartz, the Titans' defensive coordinator for the past eight seasons, to be their next head coach. He has agreed in principle to a four-year deal.
His defense in Tennessee allowed 14.6 points per game this season (second in the league), while Detroit's gave up an NFL-high 32.3.
The Lions are expected to announce Schwartz at a press conference tomorrow.
(*Also on the coaching front, New Orleans has hired Gregg Williams (pictured above) as its defensive coordinator. Williams spent last season with Jacksonville after four years with Washington, where he had the bulk of his success but was passed over for the head coaching job in favor of Jim Zorn. Williams has three seasons of head coaching experience with the Buffalo Bills.)
