Rogers: Quinn wanted Caldwell; now he has to deal with it

Allen Park – Bob Quinn has made many changes since being hired as the Detroit Lions’ general manager, but his first decision, to retain coach Jim Caldwell, has the franchise facing yet another lost season just four games into the 2016 campaign.

For the second consecutive year, the Lions are at risk of being out of playoff contention by their bye week. The hole is already deep and nearing insurmountable, following an embarrassing 17-14 to loss to the previously winless Chicago Bears. The Lions now sit at 1-3 and 0-2 in the division.

To his credit, Caldwell is shouldering the blame, but that accountability isn’t improving the on-field performance.
