Sports Jim Schwartz Introduced as Lions Coach; Should We Be Holding a Wake?

Poor Jim Schwartz. Only last week he was leading the defense of the AFC's highest ranked team. Today he's the coach of the NFL's worst team since the 1930s.
The Detroit Lions announced today that the former Titans defensive coordinator will be their new head coach. Technically, this is supposed to be a promotion. It's a right of passage this time of year for top coordinators to move up the food chain. Yet Schwartz must have run afoul of some ecclesiastical power. He's accepted the league's second worst job (at least it's better than working for Al Davis).
Schwartz assumes control of a team whose eight-year stretch of wretchedness has not been matched since the 1936-43 Chicago Cardinals. And he'll be working for people whose ineptitude has not been surpassed since the 1943 Italian Army. Which makes it even odds as to whether this is a promotion or a four-year stint on death row.

Nothing to do with this particular post. How would you like it if someone randomly kept rearranging your most frequently visited grocery store? Or your own fridge? This redesigning blogs and websites is for the birds, probably the dead ones that flew into the USAIR's engines. Change for change's sake is not always good. And isn't ironic that the only consistent thing left on the PITW is the "required word", airplane!
