Never really knew what he brought to the table other than a legacy Panthers figurehead. Had high hopes for Caldwell, and maybe he has more of an impact than we know, but unsure his role. 

See also: Idzik, Brad.

What are these guys doing to make this team better?

Thanks for your work in the '90s, Dom. Apologies that your last years in the league will be in Cleveland.

This. Some of these lifers just legitimately love ball and as long as they can continue getting roles that keeps them involved in the game at some level but doesn't require the insane commitment level of actually coaching, why not? I have to imagine a lot of these advisor roles are basically the equivalent of posting our opinions on the Huddle but actually getting paid for it. Sounds like a sweet gig to me. LOL

Yeah I think the jobs are more consulting type of work, and probably have very little pressure to grind like a normal coach. 
 

I really was not inclined to like Caldwell because the offense was such a train wreck in his first year.  I just always thought he may have had a lot of say in the way that offensive staff got put together. Which I saw as a fail, I especially did not get the Thomas Brown OC deal. Then add the backstabbing type of stuff rumored to be going on behind the scenes.  
 

It would be nice if we had some clarity on that but we are not gonna get it.

Its the pro football version of being hired by a tech firm in a consulting/advisory role.  You get a cushy compensation packages to show up late, eat free lunch, leave early, and take PTO.  Then by the time people have figured out you do nothing, you move on to the next gig.

At least it's not the Raiders.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
