Jim Caldwell is your new Detroit Lions head coach

[Vinnie Paz]

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

[brewcrew2k]

Worst choice ever! As a packer fan this is great news

[jjgold]

Bad move, chaos in Detroit just like the City itself.

[Vegas39]

Caldwell oh lord

[Vinnie Paz]

Duecer where you at??

[TheMoneyShot]

I guess we'll take him. Oh well.

[packerd_00]

I dont give a sh@t about the Lions anymore,c@cksuckers cost me big this year.

[paco]

Horrible choice. But it's the lions, so it doesn't surprise me

[R.P. McMurphy]

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

[Dr. Gambler]

Why him? What do they see

[MoneyLineDawg]

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

[mynameismud]

i just heard the news. i cant say im happy about this hire. he'll be gone by the 2016 season.

[Deuce]

Rather have kept Jimmy. Fukk this team.

[No coincidences]

What an awful hire.

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

As a Bears fan, I concur.

[Sam Odom]

Wow... You can really tell which Ownerships want to win championships and the ones that do not... The ones like Det see it just as a business - Nice PC hire

my exact sentiments.

[Remedy]

Agree with deuce and no coin. How is this better than what they had. I think a bad situation will get even worse. Smh lions.

[BigdaddyQH]

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.

[Deuce]

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.

[slacker00]

My first gut reaction to this hire is the same as you guys, but give him a chance, who knows...

[crustyme]

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.

Lions think Jim can propel Stafford to the next level.

[retard]

Good hire for the NFL to keep the lions out of the playoffs for the next 10 years.

[HOT WINGS]

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.

detroit is now the worst major sports city in america

JIM CALDWELL

guy is an emotionless robot as a HC and when it comes down to big decisions and clock managament/use of timeouts... the Lions are fukk'd

guy is just a yes man

poor Lions fans

[Bluehorseshoe]

"Meet the new boss.............."

[easyliving]

Lions will once again finish last in NFC north if the Vikings can get their QB situation straightened out

[DrStale]

Hoorayyyyyy

Jim Caldwell + Huge contract extension for Jay Cutler = Packers backing into the division crown at 9-7
