Browns DC Jim Schwartz named AP 2023 NFL Assistant Coach of the Year — Michael Baca, NFL.com

“Schwartz’s aggressive scheme did wonders for a Browns defense that finished first in the league in yards allowed (270.2 per game), tied for fifth in takeaways (28) and sixth in sacks (49) in 2023. Compared to last year’s numbers — 331.2 YPG, 10 takeaways, 34 sacks — Schwartz’s first year in Cleveland unlocked the potential of a talented Browns defense that disappointed in the recent past.”

Jim Schwartz was tasked with turning around the Cleveland defense and he did exactly that in 2023. The Browns were able to win 11 games despite losing several key players on both sides of the ball and it was Schwartz’ unit that kept things rolling for much of the year. That turnaround led to a very well-deserved award for the veteran coach.
