How can they keep a guy whose track record of first round picks is so bad? The only good one was Ramsay and Stevie Wonder could have made that pick. Hiring and extending Gus Bradley (especially the latter) was even more nonsensical. His good moves such as moving up to take Jack in the 2nd and free agents Bouye and Campbell are too few and far between to make up for all his misses. Khan and Coughlin realize this team can recover next year with a good draft and less injuries so they need to move on from Caldwell.

Linder, Telvin, Jack, Yannick, Jack, Harrison etc. are too few and far between?

Say what you want about the 1st round picks but I think you're selling the guy a little short in the later rounds.

You are entitled to your opinion on this. Yannick was definitely a great pick and I neglected to mention that one. Your other examples are Adebatable. I already mentioned Jack and you named him twice. The jury is out on Harrison, Caldwell passed 4 times on Smith so he doesn't deserve a lot of credit for that pick and Linder has been injury prone. After Caldwell extended Gus Bradley during his 3rd season when he had the 2nd worst record in NFL history (the 1st place coach owned the team), he should have been fired immediately. That has to rank up there with the Browns giving Hugh Jackson another year after last season and we saw how that turned out.
