Former Colts and Bucs head coach Tony Dungy on the firing of Jim Caldwell as Lions head coach. Recorded from Super Bowl LII in Minnesota on Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018.
When Bob Quinn was hired as Detroit Lions general manager in 2016, he decided to keep Jim Caldwell as head coach after a week-long interview process.
Looking back, Caldwell said Thursday on the "DB Room" podcast with former Lions safety Glover Quin that he believes Quinn wanted him gone on Day 1.
"I think without question that had he been left to his own devices I probably would have been gone the day he came in, just kind of the feeling that I got even though obviously it went through a two-week process of kind of going through an interview process with him in order to keep my job," Caldwell said.
