Louis Friend Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Caldwell signed multiyear deal. Quote Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell has signed a multiyear contract extension with the team, a league source said. The new deal, signed sometime within this past year, silences any questions that existed for those who thought he was in the last year of his contract. Detroit is moving into its future with Caldwell at the helm for years to come. The Lions carry a 2-0 record into Sunday's early-season showdown with the Falcons. Not shocking. He has a winning record and playoffs in 2 of 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnivolcm Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This needed to get done, but more important to sustained success will be if we keep our coordinators together imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teude Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 So apparently that multi year deal is just for 2018 with options for future seasons. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000889837/article/coaches-on-the-hot-seat-vance-joseph-john-fox I would not miss Caldwell, if Quinn decides to bring someone else. But who would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karnage84 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Yay or nay on Josh McDaniels? Between the two guys, I would probably go with McDaniels at this point. Prior HC experience does help; he's helped to keep Brady playing at such a high level - would allow us to continue utilizing our best player (Stafford) in the best way; Patriots have been able to make do with a variety of RB's - would help our backfield situation as we don't have a bellcow at the moment.

How many coaches from BBs tree have had success as HCs? At the same time, he did take a Tim Tebow led Broncos team to the playoffs so there’s that. sorry but this is the sort of decision making that the team is known for. I would prefer for them to actually make a smart and progressive decision for once and not rely on the ‘movie remake/reboot’ mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnage84 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 If you look at his success with the Patriots after coming back, he brings a lot to the table. He's been a HC, failed, came back to NE and kept learning under Bellichick. He's a significantly better candidate now than when he went to Denver. Our GM is connected to the Pats who happen to have a top level HC candidate while we have a coach on the hot seat. Personally, I actually feel that McDaniels is the Patriots HC in waiting. Unless a premier gig comes up, I figure that Bellichick and Brady will retire around the same time with JM waiting to take things over. He could decide to move on if he feels Brady is going to stick around a little longer and he gets somewhat impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
