Lions | Jim Schwartz will not discuss contract

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:28:21 -0800

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz declined to shed any light on where talks stand on a new contract for him. Schwartz is entering the final season of the contract he signed in 2009.

"That's just something that I'm not going to really comment on, because it has nothing to do with where we are, the success of the team, it has nothing to do with what we do on a daily basis ..."

Lions | Jim Schwartz doesn't sound like he'll rest players in finale

Mon, 26 Dec 2011 17:41:58 -0800

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz seemed to indicate none, if any, of his players will be rested in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers. "We're going to play the game to win," Schwartz said Monday, Dec. 26, citing Wild Card teams which have made a run to the Super Bowl. "I think a lot of that starts this week. You look at those teams; it wasn't just what they did when they got into the playoffs, it's where they were at the end of the season. You certainly want to go in with momentum. You want to go in with wins, you want to go in healthy."
