Good coaches adapt or die in the NFL. Caldwell, again, plenty capable. Is he as decorated as those guys I mentioned? No. A lot of guys aren't. But, those are examples nonetheless.

However, look, he had Detroit consistently winning or at least decent looking three years in a row. This was after people thought he was a fluke with the clots because of Manning.

He also had Flacco playing optimally in Baltimore that earned them a title. He can coach. Most importantly. He understands the QB position and how to maximize what he has to work with there.

Listen. If Dungy or Cowher came out of broadcasting and publicly stated they wanted to coach again. Would you shun them or give them a call?

For Caldwell, he isn't a long term solution so you need to prepare for the next hire. He also would need some good coordinators.

It doesn't happen much but I would look to have Caldwell and Leftwich if they fell in love with Leftwich. Leftwich would be the HC but have Caldwell with some higher title so he can help and tutor Leftwich. That way Leftwich isn't stuck on his own in a brand new role.

Leftwich is being penicled in already to replace Arians in Tampa when he retires. Which could be after this year or next year possibly. Brady probably goes with him.

McDaniels is probably hanging on for the same opportunity in New England. If age is a concern. Then, why not just go for Kellen Moore? He's 33. No age concerns there.

Still really surprised Joe Lombardi's name has not come up yet. He's done great in L.A with Herbert already. He was with Caldwell in Detroit. Payton in New Orleans. Very good mix of run and pass philosophically on offense.
