Me: “Man after seeing Matt Patricia maybe I was too harsh on Jim Caldwell.”

Lions: “Oh hire someone like him then?”

Me: “Well no not exact...”

Lions: “WHAT ABOUT MARVIN LEWIS”

Me: “Wait no that’s not what I...”

Lions: “HEY LOOK WE HIRED THE DEFENSIVE JIM CALDWELL IN MARVIN LEWIS PRAISE US FOR OUR FORWARD THINKING!”

Thanks but no thanks, I’d rather rehire Caldwell or just keep Bevell.

Not so sure I want Arthur Smith to be the next head coach anymore.

You’ll generally get more than 4 drives in a half with him though. Unless your defense is somehow worse than TEN’s this year...in which case props because that’d really be quite an accomplishment.

Saleh to the Jets. You guys aren’t going to hire Bevell are you?

I don’t believe so. They never seemed super high on Saleh. Arthur Smith is getting a second interview and they apparently really like Dan Campbell. Marvin Lewis apparently impressed. Todd Bowles is gonna get an interview. Brandon Staley is picking up momentum with the Holmes hire.

zjc do you know anything about him??

TE coach/assistant head coach for New Orleans the last five years. He’s a leadership/character guy. Never been a coordinator. Played 10 years in the NFL. From the Parcells/Payton tree. Players love him and he does some of the head coaching stuff for Payton so Payton can focus more on film. He had a good stint in Miami went 5-7 as interim when the team basically tried to mutiny with Joe Philbin.

He’s the opposite of Patricia personality and resume wise and he makes sense as a Spielman hire. I’m not a huge fan of it but I want to see who his coordinators hire are.

I read your post yesterday zjc. I saw the
notice on the Lions web site before I typed in
Forum for the Lions on Volnation. Learned
something I didn't know about the man.
