an NFL team is like a billion dollar airplane


these billionaire owners then go and hire a mental retard to be the pilot of that plane... make sense??




this is Tyrone Willingham 101. but maybe they're looking for draft position... only God knows what the Lions management is thinking



but hey, Europe is committing suicide so maybe it's the same philosophy/scenario

He is poor man's Tony Dungy and Dungy is a moron

You can't even begin to put him in Dungy's category. Dungy was 10 times the coach Caldwell is. Caldwell makes Wayne Fontes look like Don Shula. I feel sorry for the fans of the Lions.

I mean with the whole " calm demeanor nice guy" crap. That stuff only works when you are intelligent. Dungy just drove me crazy because his defense was so ridiculously predictable and same thing year in and year out. Having undersized players that just run the ball down your throat.

You cant make me believe that Stafford forgot how to QB.
Just 3 years ago most people had him in the top 5.
You cant make me believe CJ forgot how to catch. Just last year he was the #1 WR in the entire NFL.

This is the most underachieving team in NFL History

If Payton or Belichik were coaching this team they could easily win at least 8 or 9 games.


There is talent on this team.
Not super bowl talent but there is enough talent for this team to be in the top half of the league.

Lions take a long time to fire coaches but in Caldwell's case he should be fired on Monday morning. It's not like the Ford family are going to miss the money to pay Caldwell off.

Strip him of his citizenship and leave him there. He can prepare to ruin a future nfl team in London because u know a real coach won't want to coach there

[h=1]Calvin Johnson says Lions’ players want Jim Caldwell back[/h] Posted by Michael David Smith on December 31, 2015, 1:00 PM EST

APLions coach Jim Caldwell’s future is in doubt, but there’s no doubt that the Lions’ players want him back.
That’s the word from receiver Calvin Johnson, who said he and his teammates are in agreement that Caldwell is the coach they want.
“Yeah, man, I love him,” Johnson said. “I think everybody in the locker room would probably say the same thing. He commands respect, but he doesn’t have to do much. It’s just his character, guys gravitate towards him. He’s easily one of my favorite coaches I’ve had.”
Of course, it’s an open question whether Johnson himself will be back next year. The Lions currently are searching for a new General Manager, and whoever they hire is going to have a tough decision to make about how to handle Johnson and his whopping $24 million cap hit for 2016. So even if Caldwell does remain in Detroit, he might not coach Johnson.
Caldwell’s own fate likely won’t be determined until the new G.M. is hired, so the Lions probably won’t make a shakeup on Black Monday. Instead, Caldwell will sit and wait, knowing that his players want to keep playing for him, but not knowing whether his job is safe.

He is coaching for an NFL job Sunday. lions are cleaning house, and that should include the coach, unless the new GM wants him.

They shouldn't fire Caldwell; make him an example and hang him. Do it in downtown Detroit and invite the gangbangers; then gas them all as they riot. Start 2016 off right.
