    Jim Caldwell is your new Detroit Lions head coach

    They wanted whisenhunt but he took the titans job, so lions settle for jimmy.

    Wow had to scrape the bottom of the barrel and go with Peytons former assistant hc. Guess Schiano and Norv were not returning calls.

    Same franchise that hired and kept Matt Millen so not surprising

    Probably felt like Caldwell was a Dungy kind of guy to get the out of control team in order

    Not a fan but you never know

    What an awful hire.

    As a fan of 30-plus years, I've never been so disconnected to the Lions and Pistons.

    Caldwell took a team that Tony dungy built and in just three years, went from the Superbowl to 10-6 to 2-14. Detroit is basically your biggest toilet in America anyway, so they deserve this hire.

    He was 29th in offense last season in Baltimore. Incredible. I hope they go 0-16 again.

    Yeah, but at least he went 29-68 as a head coach at Wake Forest.

    Until the Ford family is out of the picture, this franchise will continue to be the biggest running joke in sports.

    not a bad hire. he groomed peyton and flacco in to great qbs and won 2 super bowls.

    since whisenhunt turned them down, he wasn't a bad second choice.

    How fukking terrible of a hire was this? Pure desperation and micromanagement by Ford family. What a fukking joke. Glad they made sure Stafford's broken arm was in on decision

    Would we be surprised if Stafford had a hand in picking this guy. More of the loosey goosey b.s like last year im guessing.
