Caldwell decision coming today.

[broncosmitty]

You think Mayhew was a better talent evaluator than BQ?

I have no idea what kind of HC hirer BQ will be. Nobody does.

And Id rather not find out this year.

Mayhew is gone. He can't hurt us anymore.

 

[RobBase]

He can if the shitty HC he hired is forced on our new GM.

 

[RobBase]

Only reason Caldwell should be retained is if BQ thinks he's the best HC available. Not because the Fords like him, and certainly not out of fear or feeling overwhelmed in his new position. If that's the case, he wouldn't have made Accorsi's list of consideration.

14 years with New England, I'd imagine he deserves more trust than anyone in house here.

Probably so. But he's the 4th front office guy hired out of New England, and the first 3 haven't done much.

 

[Iffster]

Does it really matter? It has been 50 years and you can't get a can of beer that shows the Lions played in a Superbowl! Now THAT is sad.

Dimitroff has been great. 8 years in ATL finishing 1st or 2nd in their division 6 times. 4 playoff appearances.

Caldwells got the rings

Caldwell got smeared without Peyton. Lol at you scoffing at 1st or 2nd 6 out of 8 years while campaigning for a guy who can't even properly defend a Hail Mary. Lol

 

[RobBase]

You don't keep a HC because you like his coordinators.

Atlanta is not a good franchise. They couldn't even beat Caldwell.

 

[RobBase]

Atlanta has had more success under Dimitroff than the Lions have had in their entire existence.

 

[broncosmitty]

Do you keep one because he's 18-14 with a playoff appearance?

Or do let a GM hire a new because he was on the Patriots payroll?

 

[broncosmitty]

Let's not go and get ridiculous here.

 

[gandydancer]

A vote for Caldwell is a vote for Mayhew as far as I'm concerned. Do you guys really think BQ doesn't have a plan in place?

Who was the last first time GM to get a job and keep the current HC? Seems like it'd be rare.

Same as saying a vote saying Josh is the reasons for the Broncos success after he left. So Josh comes here and makes the playoffs next year, is the credit his or Caldwell?

Does he bring Tebow in?

Or was that Xanders now?

Why would it credit Caldwell? He didn't draft anyone or make any roster moves like McD did in Denver.

 

[RobBase]

Let's not go and get ridiculous here.

This is why it's hard to be the smartest fan on a board full of smart asses.

 

[RobBase]

Keep licking that Mayhew Rainbow, suckers.

 

[broncosmitty]

Keep licking that Mayhew Rainbow, suckers.

Would you prefer we have blind homer faith in some chowderhead scout?

 

[RobBase]

If Caldwell is retained, it's a bad move because BQ has never hired a HC.

If Caldwell is fired, it's a bad move because BQ has never hired a HC.
