Lions hire Jim Caldwell

i wonder if the lions players share the same feelings as the people in this thread.

I definitely didn't want Caldwell for the Redskins. Lions taking a risk, but I would have gone with a younger offensive mind. They've waited for this long, they should have just waited another week and see who won SEA/SF and interviewed the losing team's OC. Or gone after Hue Jackson. Just about anyone else is better than Caldwell at this point, but his past with Peyton Manning does provide the smallest bit of hope. Now to see what kind of staff he can add.

How is Jim Caldwell still a coach in the NFL?

Well, after his impressive season in Baltimore, how could any team turn him down...

Baltimore 2013 Offensive Rankings
Points - 25th
Yards per play - 31st
1st downs - 24th

... fucking Lions...

Ravens are also bringing in Gary Kubiak for an interview. Would be an excellent replacement for Caldwell, will be interesting to see how he does if he gets the job. Lots of similar personnel in Baltimore like he had to work with in Houston.
