Jim Caldwell ranked the 21st-best coach
After a collapse to end 2016, Jim. Caldwell isn?t getting much credit these days.
Despite two playoff appearances in the three years, Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell remains in the bottom half of the league in Patrick Daugherty?s coach rankings. Daugherty ranks Caldwell 21st overall. Here?s part of what he said about Caldwell:
There?s a veneer of respectability, but the aspiration for little more. Floor is more important than ceiling. The 2017 Lions would probably lack a championship core no matter who was on the sideline. By keeping Caldwell, they?re merely admitting it.
