Looking for work.
Looking for work.
Classiest guy in FB and with his connections he'll land on his feet if he wants to coach again. Of course, I'm sure he could also retire very comfortably at this point. Best wishes, Jim.
Does he still have a house in Winston? As recently as a few years ago I believe he was still being spotted around town pretty regularly during the offseason.
Sorry to see he was fired. He should be able to get an OC job somewhere (if he still wants to coach) as several of those jobs will be open soon.
It was always nice to have a former Wake coach as Head Coach of an NFL team.

He's never really been an OC. We got him from Penn St where he was their QB coach. Then he was QB coach and head coach in Indy, then QB coach and briefly an OC in Baltimore after we fired Cameron. And I don't think he's necessarily a great play caller. He makes a better QB or head coach.
TBP, I don't buy the players coach thing. The Lions have been way more disciplined under Caldwell than they were under Schwartz. And when you talk about the OL in Detroit not being good, I think that helps my point that the trio of Caldwell, Cooter and Austin have overachieved in Detroit given what they've had to work with.
Caldwell's .562 winning percentage is the best of any Lions' head coach since the 50s. Really hard to win when you have no running game at all. Defense was also not brimming with talent. Doubt Caldwell's successor will have a better record when he gets fired.
Yep, I put the over/under on their next coach's tenure at 3.5 yrs.
