How likely is it that if Caldwell goes that Jim Bob Cooter is named HC? He and Stafford seem to have good relationship and Stafford seems to be less mistake prone in this offense then previous offenses
I imagine it is something that the Ford's would consider
Cooter's name has come up in last couple offseasons as a potential hire around league
That would be very typical of the Lions to make that move. 1 step forward 3 steps back.
I don't get the love affair with an OC whose offense seems to rely on passing to Golden Tate 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage and hoping he can break 3-4 tackles or hoping that the play called breaks down so that Stafford can scramble and find Jones 60 yards downfield with a 50/50 ball. The other 80% of the time is god awful routes mixed with running guys straight into the DL. I know he has had Sanders or Dickerson back there but you would think at least 1 game he could have enough runs called to get a RB over 100 yards but that would involve actually designing effective run plays not just caliing dives into the line.
Caldwell needs to be fired but hiring Cooter (or Austin) would be a god awful move.
