He never got to pick his head coach, though, so I'm not sure how much of that can fall on him. Coughlin completely broke Dave's team, not just by driving away talent, but by insisting on Fournette as the pick in that draft. I think he will do great somewhere else, provided he gets a second shot. He's got to do a better job with his QB picks and tackles, though. He has proven himself to do well outside of that.

He never got to pick his HC?

I mean... I'm with you in throwing some blame (maybe even most of it) Coughlin's way for how things quickly turned... 

But Caldwell absolutely had a say in Bradley and Marrone's hirings. He also missed on more than just QB and tackles. He had a few duds in free agency too before Coughlin ever came along.

I think Caldwell's next job is probably more of a scouting department lead or director of player personnel. I doubt he immediately gets another shot at GM.
