Everyone knows how quickly Jim Schwartz can lose his cool.
While his reputation may soon be reaching John Tortorella status, the head coach of the Detroit Lions has made a habit of speaking his mind with no filter on his words.
So how do you think he felt when he found out two of his young, up-and-coming players had run-ins with the law not too long ago?
#Lions Jim Schwartz on Nick Fairley & team conduct issues: 'I’m a lot of things – concerned, angry … also it's disappointing …'

Nick Fairley and Titus Young haven’t gotten off to the best of starts in their second years in Detroit, and Lions fans are hoping that this isn’t a recurrent theme.
But some people believe that these actions are in reflection to Schwartz’s personality and coaching style.
@ProFootballTalk Is Jim Schwartz ever NOT angry and disappointed? I wonder where his players get it from…

@ProFootballTalk Jim Schwartz doesn't know what real anger is.

Well, at least we hope for his sake, that Fairley got the message.
