Also, call me crazy, but I think Jim Caldwell is a pretty good coach and he should probably have a job right now. I thought he got a raw deal in Detroit.
11-5 his first year and lost in the wild card round to the cowboys with a pretty sketchy call sprinkled in there
7-9 the next year after dealing with a rash of bad injuries (including Stafford) when they started out 1-7.
Then 9-7 his last two years, making the playoffs one of those years. After that 3rd year where they made the playoffs and lost to the Seahawks, I guess he set expectations too high (in Detroit lol) and they let him go to take the “next step”.... with Patricia.
So that’s 38-28 with 2 playoff appearances, and 1 losing record when his team was really depleted. With the lions of all teams. We’re not talking about the Steelers. The lions are associated with losing more than just about any franchise in all of professional sports. He’s old now, and maybe the game has passed him by, but I think he should probably have a job. I don’t look at him the same way I look at other retreads. I think you could do a lot worse.
