Monarrez: Lions should fire Caldwell now

Lions coach Jim Caldwell needs to be fired. Immediately. And here’s why.

He told me and the other media members at Monday’s news conference essentially that just because we didn’t get a promotion to ESPN we should still be trying to write and produce the dickens out of our news stories.

First off, Coach, I work for the Detroit Free Press. Been on guard for 184 years. Took down Kwame Kilpatrick. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Besides, I have no interest in living in Connecticut.

Second, Caldwell’s analogy is misguided. Most working people I know don’t work hard at their jobs to try to get a promotion every year.
