Just wondering what you guys think of Jim Caldwell. I was never impressed. He inherited Manning and at least did not screw him up. I do hope he has more to offer than I think.
I don't know... I've not followed Caldwell historically, but I know his early career was not very impressive. I'm pretty sure he was "involved" in some way with Flores' discrimination lawsuit against the NFL. I don't remember if he was named or not, but it seems like he was mentioned for some reason. I remember thinking when the Panthers announced him, that it might be because of the lawsuit and NOT hiring Wilks. I took a quick glance, but didn't dig very deep. Didn't find much (anything..) about Caldwell. Not worth the time to me I guess...
Anyway, he seems to have held a few QB coach positions along with a couple of HC slots. Was supposed to have been the last "rookie" HC to go to a Superbowl. Is that important..??? His record as a HC wasn't terrible. I suspect he has a good football mind. I am not sure if he will be helpful to Brown or not. Probably couldn't hurt....
Actually, I am more than a little surprised that Staley and McCown were sacrificed on Reich's alter. I rather liked the way McCown approached the QB game. And Staley was a REAL Firebrand. I guess they were too closely linked to Reich...maybe...???
