CHICAGO - Jim Caldwell has the winningest record by a Detroit Lions coach in the first two seasons of his tenure, but owner Martha Firestone Ford is not ready to bring him back for a third season just yet.
Asked about Caldwell's job status after today's season-ending 24-20 win over the Chicago Bears, Ford said, "I haven't gotten that far yet," before declining further comment.
Caldwell is 18-15 in two seasons as Lions coach, including a playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys last year.
The Lions started 1-7 this season, but won six of their final eight games to finish in third place in the NFC North.
