The #Colts plan to interview #Titans senior defensive assistant Jim Schwartz for their vacant defensive coordinator job, sources say. The former #Lions HC and long-time respected DC is a strong candidate in Indy, which also interviewed Joe Cullen and Chris Harris for the job. - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 30, 2022 - - - The Indianapolis Colts are in the market for a new defensive coordinator after Matt Eberflus was hired as the next head coach of the Chicago Bears, and a member of the Tennessee Titans is currently on their radar. - According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Titans’ division rival plans on interviewing Tennessee’s senior defensive assistant, Jim Schwartz, for their vacant defensive coordinator job. - Schwartz has been with the Titans for one season in his current role — and in that season, Tennessee saw a major revival on defense after having a horrid showing in 2020. - Schwartz is one of the more qualified candidates out there, as he has both head-coaching and defensive coordinator experience. He also has a strong connection to current Colts head coach, Frank Reich, as the pair were the offensive and defensive coordinators when the Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LII. - Schwartz taking the Colts job would obviously be problematic for a few reasons. - Not only would the Colts have a good defensive coordinator in him, but he could also give Indy valuable info about the Titans, something the Indianapolis could use after going 0-2 against Tennessee in 2021. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Titans Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Titans Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
