Caldwell along with Shad kept Bradley around who was not really a HC but a glorified Cheerleader.   Caldwell drafted his QB and outside of one year was a complete Failure.   Caldwell was struggling so bad that Tom was hired in the first place.   Caldwell has many more misses than hits on this resume.  His stradegy is build through the draft but one cannot do that if he is constantly making mistakes.   I do understand that the draft is a crapshoot and some players are just going to bust.  That being said, his bust rate is much too high to "build through the draft."   The guy is a good scout(in the later rounds) but a lousy GM.  Lets not even talk about all of the lackluster free agents Caldwell has brought in.   Campbell said the reason he came here was because of Coughlin so he don't count.

But there was little on the roster worth keeping when he got here.  It was a 2-14 team.  It's not like there were some 6 Pro Bowlers like in Kansas City when Reid took over.  For every Daryl Smith, there were 10-15 players on the roster that would not start on another NFL roster.

I have no problem with him blowing it up.   But then he went 4-12, 3-13, 5-11, 3-13 his first four seasons.  We had a WORSE record in Year 4 than Year 1!!!!  And if you want to give Coughlin the blame for things, then you have to give him credit for the one winning season too.  Look how the Panthers are doing it now.  They blew it up and are very young, but competitive.  We were getting spanked for 4 years straight.  Then Coughlin came, we had ONE good season, and now its back to crap.  A house cleaning is in order.
