ALLEN PARK, Mich. – His bosses are gone. So are some of his offensive underlings. But after the mass firings the Detroit Lions made over the past two weeks, head coach Jim Caldwell remains.
This may seem somewhat confusing, mostly because Caldwell is the one who coached the Lions to the 1-7 record owner Martha Ford and her family are very disappointed in. But in understanding all the other moves that have been made, it is also not surprising to see Caldwell sticking around for the rest of the season.
The most obvious reason is what goes on during a week on the field.
