Caldwell just mad a few mistakes on play calling that's all so why fire him?  If we would of kept the DC you would have thought it's the right decision, if we fire him you think it's the right decision lol

I don't know if firing Caldwell was the right decision.  I can only guess at the reason.  I know it wasn't because he "made a few mistakes on play calling."  

I do know that Pederson sees the entirety of what Caldwell is doing with that defense, every hour of every day, and we don't.  We only see what happens during the game.

Just because he fired Mike doesn't mean it was the right decision.  It could be just another mistake, or even possibly a scapegoat. He had to do something because he knew they failed.

You have an example of a NFL team that does that?  I mean fire their GM and coach after they make a mistake in the draft?  I can't, because every draft GM/HC's make mistakes on players or the players just don't perform the way projected at the professional level.  Besides a team would have a new set each year if that was the case.

It’s not the making of the mistake that is intolerable, it’s the not recognizing the mistake and then making the effort to correct that is.

Exactly, nobody even knows if we want to bring in a new starter at C.  This staff has been very high on Fortner, nobody sees him at practice (trying not to laugh) As The Real Marty says. They may feel like Fortner can change things around in year 3 and improve.
