Honestly, who cares? CC isn't a very good anything(as far as a coach is concerned). He was a terrible OC when they handed it to him a few yrs. ago and was quickly demoted when Pagano was hired. Man, if Lions fans think they had problems before...with Caldwell and CC they are going to be a mess.

Caldwell's not so bad, all he needs is a first ballot HOF'er at QB, top NFL offense, and a team previously well-coached and disciplined by a borderline-HOF head coach and he can be good for one year until that starts to wear off.

I think Caldwell is a good head coach. He took us to the Super Bowl his first season! Also, if you think we "magically" went 2-14 after a 10-6 season because we had a horrible head coach, then you're completely blind. Don't act like we, the fans or the organization didn't know that Luck and RG3 were coming out that next draft. You can call it "players not playing hard for their coach" or whatever you want, but with Peyton's future uncertain at the time, there was no way we were not going to get our next franchise QB. Before the "magical 2-14 season," we were 24-8 under him. No matter what anyone says to me, the 2011 season was NOT Caldwell's fault. Success follows this guy wherever he goes. I mean, he did win a Super Bowl as the OC of the Ravens. I think we let a great coach get away and I think the Lions are getting a great head coach.

:blueshoe:   OMG !!!  The Lions hired Jim Caldwell as head coach ????  Obviously - he's an offensive coach - but - he showed US that he is NOT head coach material.  Additionally - Joe Flacco reverted under his tutelage !!  :blueshoe: 

Joe Flacco reverted because they paid him so much that they couldn't keep his supporting cast around him. :woah:

I wish I remembered who, but back when I was arguing in support of Jim Caldwell, a poster said quote(to the best of my memory)

"Jim Caldwell will never be a head coach in the NFL again.

Lol.

I'm pretty sure it was far more than just one person that said that :)

8 years at Wake forest and he was 26-63 than got fired after going 2-14 here which I can guarantee you was not a "choke" job for luck like you seem to be insinuating. Just because he recently won a SB with the Raven doesn't mean success has followed this man where he goes. It means he recently won a SB which makes him a currently hot candidate, despite his failures in the past.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By Chucklez · Posted

      Did Hou actually get that much better? This really does remain to be seen. I am of the opinion that the signing of Diggs is a signing that has been made about 2 years too late. He won't be bad, but he isn't a top 10 WR in the NFL anymore. I wouldn't put him as any more dangerous that Pittman, so WR's are a push. We have the better RB, Mixon is great and all, but he is not JT. We have the better Oline, and it isn't even close. TE's are a push, we have a lot of upside, but until it is realised im very "meh" on our TEs. QB - I would argue that Stroud is probably more likely to regress to the mean in year 2 vs improve. That rookie season of his was a bit silly, and they had an easier schedule last season too. If he really does build on last year and get even better, then our entire discourse here is probably irrelevant as we will have another Mahomes level QB on our hands to deal with in the AFC and within the AFC South no less. So unless Richardson is also a Mahomes level talent in that scenario, we are done for anyways. To me, our success in this coming season comes down to 2 groups on this entire team. 1. The QB (because... duh) 2. Our DBs. If we even get average play from the DBs, I think this team has the ability to win the whole damned thing (supposing Richardson stays healthy and is what we all hope he is). I would also argue that Houston are paper thin. If they lose a OL starter, Mixon or even one of their starting WRs.... they have a very big drop off. And injuries happen in the NFL. Just sayin...

      What about Leonard at safety?

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      If he wasn’t fast enough or athletic enough anymore for linebacker, then he’s not going to be able to cut it at Safety where speed , quickness, athleticism are even more important.    Wish it wasn’t so….

      Man I love me some Maniac, but it won't happen, and he's too slow after his surgeries.
