Former Detroit Lions coach and Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will serve as a consultant to the NFL’s officiating department for the 2015 season.

The league confirmed Schwartz’s hire on Monday. He reportedly will provide a coach’s perspective with some of the decisions made by the officiating office.

Schwartz spent last season as the defensive coordinator of the Bills, leading the unit to a No. 4 ranking in the NFL. He was let go when Rex Ryan replaced Doug Marrone as head coach.

Schwartz, 48, spent five seasons with Lions, going 29-52, before being fired after the 2013 season.
