While\u00a0still under contract, he pursued the vacant head coaching position and expressed a strong interest in the role.

Garrett\u00a0clearly enjoys playing for Schwartz and may be worried about his departure from Cleveland. Numerous\u00a0reports suggest that several defensive players strongly support Schwartz and are unhappy with the possibility that he could be leaving. Ultimately, the organization must operate as\u00a0a business and cannot base its decisions on appeasing players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This league moves quickly, and if Monken can establish a winning culture quickly, any sour feelings from players or members of the organization will dissipate.
