Bob Quinn will have a decision to make on Jim Caldwell's future after the season, but the first-year Detroit Lions general manager said he won't make a decision about his coach solely on whether the team qualifies for the playoffs.
"There is no mandate of number of wins and there is no mandate of playoffs," Quinn told the Free Press in an interview this week.
Quinn made the somewhat unusual decision to keep Caldwell after he was hired as GM in January, when the two spent a dozen hours getting to know each other over the span of several days.
