If you want to criticize his player retention, that's one thing but the record of the team is reflective on the coaching,  plain and simple

Lets cut the Crap that Caldwell had nobody.  He also cut/traded good players like Daryl Smith and Monroe.

2012 Jaguar Roster of Notable players:

(RB)Jennings:  He went on to have an ok career.
(LT) Eugene Monroe
(WR) Cecil shorts
(TE) Marcedes Lewis
© Brad Meester
(DE) Tyson Alualu
(DE) Austin Lane
(MLB) Paul Posluszny
(OLB) Daryl Smith
(CB) Derek Cox
(K) Josh Scobee
(S) Landry, Lowery

The roster was not 100% bare.  Each and every one of those players contributed to a new team(outside meester)  Caldwell took a bad roster and made it worse by cutting it more.  Let's not even discuss Bortles.

He got rid of Smith, Monroe and Lewis too soon, that's for sure.

Scobee played a total of 4 games (and was horrible) for the Steelers and they cut him. Been out of the league since.

Meester was done and never played again.

Austen Lane played a total of 2 games after his time here.

Cox played 1 season with the Chargers and was out of the league.

Shorts played in 20 games over 2 seasons (with 2 different teams) after his time here and wasn't really that productive. 53 catches for 636 yards with 2 TD.

Landry and Lowery played 2 and 3 (for a different team in each of those 3 seasons) more years after their time here. Lowery was constantly hurt when he played for us (played in 11 games, 9 games and 3 games). Probably should have kept them for another season or 2, but Lowery always being hurt justified his cut and he had just drafted Cyprien to take Landry's spot. Landry was also 30 years old at the time.

Jennings pounded out a couple of average seasons (4) after his time here, but he's a dime a dozen player and he wasn't really that productive for us to begin with. 224 carries for 944 yards with 7 TD in 3 seasons here.

It's funny that you bring up Alualu honestly. This board did nothing but bash and trash on him during his entire career here. But he did play here for another 4 season after Caldwell got here...

Poz was here for 2 seasons before Caldwell got here and he played another 5 seasons since Caldwell has been here.
