Person didn't seem to characterize that as a Canales decision. Not sure how I feel about that given the prior situation.

Idk Canales might be keeping him around because of the head coaching experience. It’s not like Caldwell is a total nobody to the league.

As with most things in this process, if it's a Canales decision, I'm on board with it. If it's a Tepper decision, I question it.

I'd really like to believe Tepper isn't stupid enough to keep another "boss's informant" around in the wake of last year's mess, but I've learned to never underestimate just how dumb Tepper can be in these matters.

For what it's worth though, I would agree with those who say that doesn't seem consistent with Jim Caldwell's character.

I think Caldwell is a perfect mentor and advisor for Canales, I’m happy he’s staying.

This isn't chatter it's just a wish that Luke Kuechly be hired as a Defensive Quality Control coach or Assistant Linebacker Coach he'd be someone that would be able to bring life to the locker room even though he's called a quite man!

He most definitely would bring credibility.

Getting Luke Kuechly to just be around the building and in the locker room is a win. Some of his greatness is bound to rub off on someone somewhere

Regarding Caldwell, a lot of people need to remember he had a winning record in Detroit with a lot less talent than the Lions have now and made the playoffs twice in 4 years.  They fired him and I know a lot of Lions fans weren't happy.  The Lions then hired Patricia from the Patriots who couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.

He is well respected around the league and feel like he is an asset rather than a liability for the team.

Considering Reich was the one to convince Caldwell to come out of retirement, I'm a bit confused why he's staying around. This was huge news at the time, because prior to Reich nobody was able to get Caldwell to un-retire. The whole thing with him being retained smells fishy to me.

From what I remember last year when he was hired, his family lives in Charlotte and he already owned a house in the area. He was low hanging fruit. He’s almost 70 so he’s got a cushy job being an advisor and he’s probably the true intermediary between Tepper and the coaches. Might not be a bad thing.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
