Browns Interview Jim Schwartz Again for Head Coach Role
The Cleveland Browns are showing significant improvement under the leadership of defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Since his appointment, the team has excelled defensively across various metrics, asserting dominance in the NFL.
Browns’ Defensive Excellence Under Schwartz
Cleveland has emerged as a leader in several defensive categories, including:
- Total yards allowed per game
In the 2025 regular season, the Browns finished among the elite in the league. They allowed only an average of 283.6 total yards per game, ranking fourth overall. Additionally, Cleveland limited opponents to just 167.2 passing yards per game, placing them third in that category.
Record-Breaking Performance
The Browns concluded the season with an impressive total of 53 sacks, securing the third position in the league. This accomplishment also resulted in a franchise record for the most sacks by a Browns team in a single season.
Defensive end Myles Garrett played a pivotal role in this success. He set a new NFL record by registering 23 sacks in the same season, further solidifying his status as one of the league’s top defenders.
As the Browns consider their coaching options, the impressive defensive performance under Schwartz may influence their decision-making process for the head coach role. The team’s stellar statistics and on-field success speak volumes about their potential for further growth.
