The Detroit Lions are 1-2, dealing numerous key injuries and struggling in a number of facets. One of those struggles is coaching, and head honcho Jim Caldwell bears ultimate responsibility for the coaching malpractice, to borrow a term from Jim Costa of ESPN 96.1 and WFDN.
Jim Caldwell might indeed be destined to fail, as Drew Sharp recently suggested. The thin roster and curious final 53-man composition (Andre Roberts as the fourth and final WR? Extra defensive tackles in lieu of better quality depth at LB?) are challenges for even the most adept coaching minds. That’s company Caldwell has never kept, not even at his most successful.
