I'm looking at Schwartz and the defensive coaches. I do this because I'm fearful we could lose Schwartz in the offseason and with how this defense is playing, I'm hoping there is a protege' in the making. What's odd is that it appears most of the position coaches have not worked with Schwartz so how did they get here?
Defensive Line Coach - Chris Wilson - 23 yrs as a college coach - 1st year in the NFL. Position coach for Fletcher Cox in college.
Defensive Backs Coach - Cory Undlin - 13 yrs in the NFL but I don't believe he has crossed paths with Schwartz before this.
Linebacker Coach - Ken Flajole - 17 yrs in NFL - 1st with the Eagles - doesn't appear to have worked with Schwartz before either.
Those are the primary guys and it is somewhat baffling to me to see these guys with very little ties to Schwartz, very little tenure with the Eagles and yet they are playing so well together. I really like what Undlin has done with the secondary and he was a guru with the Broncos before he came here. Flajole has been a DC before so that could be a natural progression although I'm sure Pederson has a large rolodex of contacts. Hopefully Schwartz stays on and keeps this ball rolling but I'm thinking he will get another shot this offseason.
