Quote:I agree on the surface it would seem so... however...

if this team has talent on both sides of the ball, we can clearly see... I'm not sure Dave doesn't get a second shot at an HC hire.

 

Especially if he does well in the upcoming offseason...

Dave gets a shot at a 2nd coaching hire if the continually improving talent doesn't lead better results on the field, and it can be attributed back to the coaching. 

 

If the team under-performs and we see the kind of poor execution in 2016 that we saw this year, I don't know if Caldwell could actually survive that. 

 

This off season is critical for the team, the coach, AND the GM.  I think they recognize this, and that this was one of the reasons Bradley and his staff were given the extensions.  At the end of the process, if the team makes the turn most hope it will in 2016, they extensions will actually be worth it.  If the team doesn't make that turn, the extensions will be completely meaningless.
