This franchise has been run by idiots for my entire lifetime. How do they not get rid of Caldwell too?

He should have been fired after taking his foot off the gas in the playoff game against Dallas. The team quit on him in the Arizona game, and the Kansas City game. How he keeps his job after all of this, and his childish rant towards the media yesterday is inexcusable.

The Lions are the most inept organization in sports.

Caldwell keeps his job for another two months because you may as well let the new President pick his own GM who will pick his own coach. This season's lost, you may as well make Caldwell come in and look at the shit storm every day so you can avoid the dead cat bounce and finish 2-14.

Zero of the last sixteen Lions' head coaches ever got another NFL head coaching job.

Wasn't Mornhinweg an interim coach for a few games somewhere?

And Jauron coached the Bills too. But yeah, still a sad state of affairs

Mornhinweg was the head coach in 2001 and 2002. Jauron was the interim coach for the last eleven games in 2005, after Mariucci was launched.
