Another reason not to hire Caldwell

[swami45]

He will most likely add Jim Tressel to his staff, possibly even as an offensive cord. UGH!!

YUS! terrel pryor here we come!!! Anyone got Maurice clarrete's number?

 

[Monster]

Why would he do that?

Why would he do that?

Seen a couple NFL guys tweet about it today and was in a few blogs. Apparently Caldwell thinks very highly of Tressel since he was hired as a member of his staff after the whole tattoo-gate mess

 

[grandy]

Any guesses on the number of blackouts if Caldwell is hired?

I'll go with 3

Let's hire Arod..he isn't doing anything for the next year.

Would make a good strength and conditioning coach lol

Lol.

Well, Tressel has a horrible record at Ohio State. Definitely couldn't have him on our team. /sarcasm.

I don't like the guy, but if he can coach, I won't complain one damn bit. Fuck Ohio, but this isn't college ball anymore.

My thoughts exactly.

We're going to have Stafford run the read option?

Caldwell is a joke. This organization does not have a clue. Get ready for 5 more years of shit football. Pathetic. The guy's a flippin genius cause he supposedly watched every game on staffofford and broke it down for the clueless clowns in the front office. Heck I only need to watch one game and I know what the deal is... bad footwork, canon for an arm, bad decision maker.

Whisenhunt was the wiser for sure.

Did Caldwell break down youtube videos of Matt Stafford? If so, he's our man.

I didnt love the idea of either wisenhunt nor do I love Caldwell. That being said I dont care if they hire Tressel. I hate him because he coached Ohio but he was a good coach and showed the ability to adapt his offense around his weapons. In college the read option worked but he also used to run more pro style offenses. I would still rather go get Zimmer from Cincy and give him a shot at fixing this damn team with his no nonsense style. A real players coach that demands respect. Caldwell though was a decent coach while at Indy but was left with nothing in the cupboard when Payton was out.

I want to give Zimmer a shot but I think the organization feels they've already tried the whole DC to HC transition and don't think they want to go that route again. They are for sure looking for an offensive minded HC this time around. I just hope we hire a good DC and get rid of Gunther.

Who do you bring in then and why is the organization a joke? Because the Whiz decided to coach a team with no QB, a RB begging to be traded, one good WR and a defense with holes in it? Fuck the Whiz, have fun winning 3 games next year.

Bring on Caldwell .... he's not a joke.

Sorry Caldwell is a joke. He took Dungy's team to the Super Bowl in his first season, then went 10-6, then 2-14(without Manning). The 2-14 year doesn't really concern me but the 10-6 year does. The Colts were sliding when he became the HC. He also did a terrible job in Baltimore this year, I don't think losing Boldin means your team should drop to almost dead last in offense.

On top of that, he was 26-63 at Wake Forest in a bad football conference.

I'll take 14-2 in Cadwells first year and 10-6 after that.


It wasn't just losing Peyton, it was having a garbage backup plan. Curtis Painter. It's like the Packers with Tolzien and Wallace before Flynn saved the day on the waiver wire.


Plus the Super Bowl run in 2012 with the Ravens can't be overlooked. 11 TDs and 0 ints for Flacco. If he can do that for Stafford, that's a great thing.


Plus Peyton was not self taught. Look at Peyton's 2001 (23 ints) and then after Caldwell came in 2002.
