After the Buffalo Bills kicked a 58-yard field goal in the final seconds to defeat the Detroit Lions 17-14 in Detroit on Sunday, some Bills players carried defensive coordinator and former Lions head coach Jim Schwartz off the field. If that wasn't a douchey enough move as it was, word later came out that it wasn't a very spontaneous move either.
As Buffalo Bills linebacker Randell Johnson later told the media, "He (Schwartz) said once he plays his former team that he wanted to be carried off and chant and have fun, and we just tried to make a dream come true."
That's right, Jim Schwartz had all of this planned back in the spring during Organized Team Activities.
In five seasons as coach of the Detroit Lions, Jim Schwartz had a combined record of 29-51 (.363). He had one winning season and made the playoffs once in the five years he was there (2011). In those other four years, he went a combined 19-45 (.297). Last year was Schwartz's final season in Detroit, where his Lions started the year a promising 6-3, before losing six of their final seven games to close out at 7-9. So, it's not like Schwartz could blame the Lions for letting him go. He made the playoffs in his third year there and went 11-21 (.344) in his final two.
With the Buffalo Bills at 3-2, they've won more games than your Detroit Lions did for an entire season in 2009 (2-14) and are just one away from equaling your Lions' win total in 2012 (4-12), when you were coach there. So, congratulations, Mr. Schwartz. By acting like you had just won the Super Bowl by beating a team you led to a 29-51 record over the course of five seasons at their home stadium while not even being the coach of your current team, you sir are my Sports World Douche of the Week!
