BEREA, Ohio — Jim Schwartz has always worn his passion on his sleeve, once famously chasing Jim Harbaugh with bad intentions following a game.
He’ll demand his Cleveland defense pursue the football with equal verve.
Schwartz, who has had three past stints in the NFL as defensive coordinator, was officially hired Wednesday to fix the Browns’ defense, which was mostly responsible for a disappointing 7-10 season.
The 56-year-old Schwartz brings a track record of toughness to Cleveland. The former Detroit head coach previously was a defensive coordinator with Tennessee, Buffalo and Philadelphia, winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2017.
