Simmer down, sweetie. We're talking the goddamned Lions, not Niners or Steelers or Patriots. It's not there's some tidal wave of great history that's being disrupted here. Detroit's first choice said no thanks. That should tell you there's something more at work. I can't say if this will or will not work but I can say that whatever Caldwell achieves in Detroit will always be a step below whatever his haters allege they expected. Detroit has some major talent and needs a players coach to get through and bring it together. Caldwell is that type of coach. Will it work in Detroit? Probably not. And he'll take the blame. So I'm not sure what is "so much stupid" as much as it's frustration.
And yes, it could be worse. You could be a Browns fan.
i know we're talking about Little Old Lions, quite an "LOL" situation, maybe just maybe i had a glimmer of hope that a coach might want to be a part of one of the best receivers of all time in calvin johnson, just like i once thought somebody might want to get a team together around barry sanders but NOPE
the players LOVED jim schwartz
he didn't make them run or do conditioning
he never benched them for penalties
he tried to cover up DUIs at every turn
he never said shit to stafford about his throws
no, what the team needs is not a players coach, they need a disciplined system coach with a proven track record of success and a willingness to adapt to the rapidly changing schemes of the NFL
and i'm not going to be one of the people piling on caldwell until he starts making the same kinds of mistakes he has made throughout his career like "the timeout"
from now until then, this is squarely on the front office of the lions, like i said
yea i'm taking my frustration on you, but you also don't seem to get it
also the browns at least made one move industry people respect in the past five years with the richardson deal this year
