Another reason not to hire Caldwell

[JScottWriter]

Good make him the QB coach after the Ravens fire him, he isn't HC material.

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.

And Whisenhunt had a losing record as a coach. So what?

 

[JScottWriter]

He wasn't a great pick either but at least he took a bad AZ team and made them better. Caldwell took a great Colt team and made them shitty. Bad year to go shopping for a former head coach.

He made them 14-2 and 10-6. Then lost his QB and the GM didn't have a good backup plan.

Stafford>Flacco>>>>>>Painter

 

[JScottWriter]

Then why didn't the Colts want him to groom Luck?

We were handcuffed. After the Whiz did us in, who were we turning to? Im not throwing this dude under thr bus just yet. Everyone wanted someone to come in and try and fix Stafford. Well, we got the fn guy to do it.

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.

Caldwell is well respected and Dungy is high on him. I get the potential hire but the coach is only part of the issue. It's a joke that he was even interviewed and then made known that Whiz was their man. That's the joke. Interview the potential candidates and keep the pie-hole shut about it.

As the Owner, you fire the President and GM. This garbage is their fault. You bring in a real executive who will hire Khan. With Khan will come Cowher. This team's strength is in the D-Line. That's how you fix this thing and change the culture and perception. This organization with it's current front office is not a desirable destination for elite level leaders and coach's. They are dysfunctional and inept.

I never wanted Whiz anyway. All he had to do is look at the roster and the contracts / future cap issues and realized it was a potential nightmare.

 

[JScottWriter]

We will see, but first reaction is I think he will be terrible. Nothing new for the Lions.

Not a joke at all. Its a fn business and guys get interviewed all the time. Theres always a frontrunner when it comes to hiring these schmucks. The Whiz was the guy, he fucked us and thats that. Caldwell was the next up

You know who doesn't get interviews all the time...Caldwell. No one else wanted him.

Lucky stiff seems quite appropriate in Caldwell's case. If the Lions were not looking for a HC, and had not "settled" for Jimmy Part II, he might have been out of a job in the NFL next season.

I thought he interviewed for the Browns and Titans?

Who fn cares? His name was all over the NFLN with possible landing spots. For sure i seen the Browns were intetested

 

[JScottWriter]

The Browns? Haha. Well the Lions are very similar to that franchise.

Ok :^/

can you just fn leave already and become a fan of whatever the next "hot" team is? the lions made their choice, and they seem content with it.
you now have 3 options:
1. get on board and support the team
2. be counterproductive by being negative to the point of giving yourself an anuerism (and looking like a giant tool in the process)
3. be a fan of another team.

Always been a Lions fan, not going anywhere.

Why should a fan have to support what the team does if they disagree? That makes no sense.

I love when people think you should agree with every decision your team makes. They have 1 playoff win since 1957, they have made a lot of bad decisions but I am not going to jump ship.
