Lions interview Schwartz for a 2nd time

DETROIT — Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz traveled to Michigan for a second interview with the Lions, a person familiar with his plans told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the talks are ongoing, said team owner William Clay Ford was expected to be present during the visit.

Detroit interviewed Schwartz after the regular season and had to wait for Tennessee to be eliminated from the playoffs to speak to him again. The Titans lost to Baltimore on Saturday.

The Lions, who fired Rod Marinelli after being the NFL's first 0-16 team, have interest in numerous candidates including Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
