Most of us in this thread that are Lions fans are black. I'm probably the most pessimistic Lions fan on this board but man, this is a bad hire. Look at his record at Wake Forest, the Raven's offense suffered this past season. Flacco threw more picks than TDs this season. The way this team is constructed is all wrong, down to the salary issues. That ball and chain known at Stafford's salary is omnipresent. Look at what Tom Brady does every year with unknown receivers, we have a much better WR corp. Point is, we just might not be as good as the people singing our praises. How can we go from the best destination for coaches to Gomer Pyle being our pick? The Lions might have a perception problem, a lot of people didn't like how Stafford was involved in the selection process, another note, no one that has ever been Lions HC has ever gone on to receive another head coaching job. Just chew on that one for a while. Lions HC position is the graveyard shift and Caldwell knows it. This is his last chance. He was going to be let go as Raven's OC but lucks up into an HC position? Wow, fukking wow.
