According to ESPN's Adam Caplan, if Jim Caldwell gets the Lions head coaching job, he could add Jim Tressel to his offensive staff.
 
Congratulations to Caldwell. He should be an inspiration to all of us that if you screw up in your 30s, latch on to a great mentor, work hard, and you'll get back on top.

I was under the impression that he was only a Rooney Rule candidate based on this board, not that he was a Super Bowl OC to be hired for a job the next year.

Well, I have to agree, that would add to his offensive staff.

He is very fortunate to be the answer to the question, "Who is the ultimate anti-Schwartz?"

Best wishes to Gentleman Jim the First.

Truth. There's no Peyton Manning asterisk next to the Ravens Super Bowl season and it should tip the scales of public opinion of whether Caldwell is actually a really good coach. But whether you think he's a good coach, there is no question that he is a good man who reflects positively on Wake Forest and we should applaud, instead of mock, this decision.

:golfclap: This.
 
Good luck to Coach Caldwell, and would love to see him get his 2nd Super Bowl ring. IMO, he is a major upgrade over Jim Schwartz. Bringing Tressel makes sense as they worked together in Indy. Will be interesting to see how he puts together the staff.
