Jim Schwartz as Eagles DC would be a very good move. Would be interested in seeing guys like Graham and Co. in Wide 9.

Fletcher Cox in a 4-3 under Jim Schwartz has the potential to be the most dominant defensive tackle in the NFL. Not an exaggeration. #Eagles

If Doug Pederson truly retains Duce Staley, Cory Undlin, Dave Fipp while also hiring Frank Reich and Jim Schwartz.

That'd be a nice start.

Jim Schwartz will be the Eagles new D coordinator. I like it.

Doug Pederson knocked this one out of the park if he lands Jim Schwartz as DC. Seriously perfect fit. #Eagles
