They could have hired Hitler as HC and LKP would have put a positive spin on it. I wish hed go drown himself in a half full bath tub.
I don't think Caldwell fixed Peyton. Peyton obviously had plenty of talent to begin with. But I do think Caldwell helped him improve though. Caldwell came to the Colts in 2002.
Comp-Att Cmp% Yards TDs INTs
2001: 343-547 62.7% 4131 26 23
2002: 392-591 66.3% 4200 27 19
Before Caldwell was his QB coach, Peyton's best completion % was 62.7%. After Caldwell came, Peyton's worst completion % has been 65% in 2006.

High praise is different than fixed him. How much will Caldwell work with Staff..?
I'm sure a good bit. It's pretty obvious they hired him to work with the franchise QB.
You can not give him any credit. But that is pretty wrong and just showing some bias because he's not "your guy". You want to dislike this choice.
We'll see what happens in 2014.

We shall see in 2014. I am just hoping that the ball bounces our way, never gets tipped, the wind doesn't blow at the wrong time, and we have 0 injuries.

Ron Prince likely O-line coach replacing Washburn.

The only guys who ever fixed Peyton Manning were those sci-fi German Doctors that stem celled his neck.

I can only hope that Dungy is genuine in his praise and not just putting in a good word for a friend.
The delusional Lions fan in me has me warming up to the hire...

Tony Dungy @TonyDungy 24m
I'm excited for Matthew Stafford & the Detroit Lions. I think he's going to flourish under Jim Caldwell. Lions will be a playoff team in '14
Lets hope he is right

Is it because he fixed Peyton?

You'll have to settle for Baltimore.
He was the QB coach. HC can work with the QB too.
Whisenhunt didn't do anything with Warner then. He was the HC not the OC, your words not mine.
And here is Whiz with Big Ben in 2005. Can you say defensive Super bowl win. Big Ben was 42% in the Super bowl. You guys crush Stafford when he is 58%.

Well it sounds like we will be playing TB in the NFC Championship next season. The Dungy High-Praise Bowl.

Not happening
Looks like Teryl Austin, he was the DC at UF in '10 and has been a DBs coach everywhere else including recently in Baltimore and a few years at Wake Forest in the 90s with Caldwell.
