Another reason not to hire Caldwell

The dysfunction train is running full steam in Detroit. Incredible.

why is mayhew still here? I hope to god this Caldwell contract allows us to fire him without paying him a bunch of money. Mayhew and Caldwell need to be gone next offseason so we can start fresh and I can live in peace.

They both will be here 3 years at least. I don't see the Fords getting rid of Mayhew so soon after hiring Caldwell. If next year is bad it will be team is learning a new system. Year 2 team is improving. Year 3 team better be good or both are gone.

why? DUngy said they are super bowl ready and Caldwell was the missing piece. That's why mayhew hired them. So when we don't win the super bowl next year...they should both be canned.
 
I was just saying how it will go if they aren't successful. I don't think they will be that's why I hate this hire. Only the Browns fire a guy after one season. The Lions cant even get the coordinators they want for whatever reason.
 
Well now maybe Leshore can get traded once Tressel helps him get his Lions Tattoo removed.

If he goes to the Jaguars, Bengals, or the Panthers, maybe Tressel could just alter it with fangs, spots, or stripes, and inscribe the words "Big Cats" above it. Mikel likes to get high, so he might not notice.

Right, as well as Lewand. I actually think Caldwell is a fine coach and Dungy's endorsement makes me feel sorry for Caldwell. The bottom line is that the Ford's are going to run their business any way they want. At the end of the day, they don't care about winning, it's more about Ford Motor Company NFL sponsorship and making money. Stop buying Fords and stop going to games is the only way to address the losing.

I've never been to ford field and never owned a ford, you got anything else?

You're never going to be happy. Who the fuck are you trying to kid, seriously?

And who roots for failure anyways? You want to see another failed season so you can be at peace? Maybe this guy can get this team to reach it's full potential. Just because you hate the hire, doesn't mean you should root for failure.

Tony Dungy says we're Super Bowl ready, so it's Super Bowl or bust after year one. Fn priceless!!

How don't they care about winning?

even if I LOVED this years draft results, LOVED our FA and we made the playoffs in year 1.....id still hate mayhew. One thing that pisses me off in this world is being ok with being bad. Fords have way too much patience with their front office. Ever seen Vanderpump rules?....there a crazy chick who is miserable in her relationship, her bf cheats on her, and she just cries and cries about it and never does anything to change it. SOrry....but I think its time for change with this organization. If it were madden....itd be time for a new franchise fantasy draft lol. Im just over this regime....its a shitshow....its not an nfl franchise.

Hate Mayhew. That's fine. get a cutout of his face and throw darts at it all day for all I care, but he's done a lot of good things for this team and organization. he's brought in loads of talent. And you know what?? "FOOTBALL" people recognize it as well. They know it's a talented team and we're on the cusp of something big here. You never hear that we're a bad football team when it comes to talent. The talent is there. All you ever hear is how undisciplined this team has been over the years. maybe Caldwell taps that part and floodgates open.

talent doesn't go 1-6 to end the year....talent doesn't go 4-12 or 7-9 or lose the division to josh mccown or matt Flynn...2 very UNTALENTED qbs. Talent doesn't lose to a team that doesn't even score a TD. Being undisciplined didn't lose all those games.....undisciplined is jumping offsides. Dropping a league high number of passes year in and year out means either your WR corps are not talented....or your qb is not talented....or a combination of both. One year of bad drops....meh....shit happens. But when it happens year after year after year.....its the untalented players on our team. Ive been hearing the "were a talented team ready to take the next step" argument for 20 years now....people are foolish to keep saying it.

Bill Parcells says you are what your record says you are. We blamed it on the coach and not the talent or we'd be replacing the players (or the guy that picked the players) and not Schwartz. We'll see if that was the case this year. If it wasn't the case and the players were to blame we got the wrong coach. Caldwell from his past history is a guy who keeps a good team good not a guy who makes an average team better. Hiring these young coordinators may shake things up a bit though as they may be able to take average units like our secondary and make them better.

All in all Hughes I'm with you we still have some serious holes. The biggest one is a qb the second half of the year...all the talent starts and majority falls on him. Mayhew at least could see that.
 
We suddenly don't have talent at QB? You want Joey Harrington back? There is a significant difference between talent, and reaching one's potential.
