Someone who could come in after the team bottoms out, install a professional culture, and then be replaced by a better coach a few years later when the team is ready to start competing. Worked for the Lions!!

If you hired gase in the first place your decision making is fair game for questioning. If you keep him on the staff after that cocaine and hallucinogen fueled press conference where his eyes are darting around non stop, you should be shown the door with him.

The problem with the Jets job beyond the total lack of talent on the roster is that 1) because this GM hasn't done a good job so far in replacing the previous GM he becomes on the hot seat and you'll get fired with him OR the new guy comes in and has to be handcuffed with you effectively creating this current situation again. The other thing is ownership meddling and general incompetence from them. They stuck their nose into things and hired Gase, let MacCagnan have another draft before firing him, hired a GM and told him he's only partially in charge because ownership wants Gase as the coach not whoever he wants. The real thing that needs to happen is they need to totally clean house from top to bottom. Bring in someone who is gonna tell Chris Johnson to keep his nose out of things, shut up and sign the checks and stay out of the way. The odds of that happening are slim to none, but they arent gonna have any success until it does because it's going to be a game of undermining the people you hire over and over

now I've had a lot of harsh words for Patricia, but I understand it's a tough job. In fact, I'd love to invite him to join me to hash things out over a cask of Amontillado I've stored under Ford Field.Kirios posted:Why did the Lions fire Caldwell? Caldwell could get the team to play to its level of talent, but not much beyond that. So we'd (mostly) beat bad teams we were supposed to beat, but only rarely beat actually good teams. Lions also had a habit of losing games we absolutely needed to win, such as his second-to-last game, a loss against a Bengals team with nothing to play for that would have gotten us into the playoffs. of course with all that said, gently caress I'd have Caldwell back in a heartbeat over Patricia if that was an option.

I think if Caldwell had one more season there would be less reminiscing about him, but since they fired him when they did there needed to be an immediate improvement so lol. Quinn has played all the big hits from the ex NE front office blunder catalogue with a rapist head coach twist. What a run.

Yeah that whole timeline was loving clown shoes management. "Caldwell can't get this team to contender level, and the level of talent on this team should put them right on the edge of it at a minimum" - an assessment I actually agree with. Patricia is hired and immediately there's a huge regression in their ability. "Well he needs time to install his scheme and players" - wait what? This team was already on the edge of contention with the roster they had why are you torpedoing everything that got them there? I mean he should have been given zero years in my opinion but barring that you get 1 season to get your poo poo together and if you still look like hot garbage halfway through the next at the latest you should be gone. Not 3 years of failure with a team that you justified firing the last coach because he wasn't taking them to the next level.

Yeah they had a poo poo run game where announcers would go on and on about them not having a 100 yard rusher for so long but in general the games were fun and you always thought the Lions at least had a chance. Although Patricia's rank failure is not really something to be upset about. You knowingly hire a man who has extremely credible gang rape allegations leveled against him, all because he's Bill Belichek's coffee boy . The Lions deserve everything they've gotten and more

It was pretty good the level he was able to elevate the team after how poorly they had sunk, but it was clear he wasn't going to get them to take the next step. For as much as they were able to over perform sometimes, there were too many games they were absolutely unprepared and that were poorly game-planned.

Yeah, the Bengals game I mentioned was the most egregious loss, but there were more than a few really bad losses during his tenure. We also started the 2015 season (Calvin Johnson's last year) 1-7, and the 2016 season of miracle comebacks was built on winning against bad teams with last-second field goals. Caldwell was, arguably, a much worse coach than his record indicated, and there were very few people in Detroit who were sorry to see him go at the time.

I don't think anyone expected the Caldwell Lions to be an actual Super Bowl contender (other than maybe the owners), but the lowkey best part of his tenure was that he brought stability and a happy locker room after literal decades of turmoil. Even the Jim Schwartz years were stuck with his hardass tactics as they tried to rebuild from 0-16, and he never got over the hump. Caldwell inherited a solid talent base, built a great locker room culture, went to the playoffs and barely missed it the next year ... which got him fired as his GM chased the next Great White Belichick Wannabe Savior. I mean, what do you even do at that point?
