Boo for losing Dom in general. But it was time.

On the other hand, at what point should one just retire?

If you love doing it, not until the phone stops ringing.

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.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      JJ & Luke, episode 8

      By csx · Posted

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
