Not as ST coach. Jets extended their current ST coach.

Good to know the jets defense will suck
I was about to post the same. That will certainly slow down their rebuild over there. By the time we can build our own team back up, the Jets won't have a head start at least.

Only thing that scares me is the jets have a boatload if money for free agency. If they hit it right they can have a very potent team quickly

The Jets situation is kind of weird. I don't know how many other clubs won't let their head coach hire their own staff. It's the opposite of what we are doing here where Grier and I am assuming Flores seem to be hiring guys they have a rapport with. Personally, I like the approach we are taking. We have all had jobs where the boss hires someone we have to work with, but we really don't want to. It sucks after a while because we are not really a team, but just a group of individuals. Of course, if their philosophy keeps them a sorry ass team, then I am all for it. Time will tell who has the better approach.
Leadership isn't getting people to line up behind you; it is getting them to join you.
Sometimes the journey is as important as the destination.
The little things matter. Winning starts by not beating ourselves.
Mornings are for coffee and contemplation.
Team Tua.
Miami Dolphins Homer!

Well, its not a bad idea to have a veteran coach as another set of eyes and ears for a young rookie. Caldwell has spent a grand total of one and a half years in the NFL as an OC, and it went really badly. I'd like someone else as the OC, but I'm cool with him being a veteran mentor.

Second Tweet there said it's possible Caldwell gets brought in as an assistant HC and not a coordinator.

They could. I fully expect them to be the #2 team in the division in 2019, and to be set up that way in 2020 also. From there, we'll see how it goes.

Rizzi probably heading to Green Bay.
MafiosoForum VeteranAnyone hearing any rumblings on who the coordinator candidates could be? My concern is that NE makes it to the SB and then Flores is months behind on trying to find a competent staff. First time HC looking for a staff to follow him in mid Feb. Hate to grab whats available and wind up realizing it didnt work then firing coordinators in the offseason and starting over again with a whole new system next year. Whoever the coach is, i just want them to have a good opportunity to be successful and not start off with one hand tied behind their back.
Just my 2 cents
Rep'in the PHINS on every continent worldwide!!!
GalantForum VeteranOne mitigating factor might be (hope it is) that if Flores is as respected around the league as people say he is, if he reaches out, or has reached out previously (and he evidently had a list), then people might wait to hear from him/work with him.
Not any sort of guarantee, of course, but realistic I think.

Reports have Caldwell coming on board, could be as an OC, will have to wait to be sure, and Bret Bielema for DC.
IMO, both would be great hires .
mbsinmiscForum VeteranMy son is a Lions fan, so I have watched more Lions centric video than most NFL fans. I like Caldwell. He might have that 1000 yard, never blinking stare on the sidelines, but he connects with his players in a way that I would never have expected. He gets his guys to buy in.
I think he will do a great job helping Flores navigate being a first time head coach without trying to usurp authority. He will be an outstanding member of the staff.
Who's next ?

It doesn't seem super uncommon. The Colts GM, for instance, hired their DC (Eberflus) and made him a condition of employment. It's worked out well for them. I think it's more when the GM wants to set a certain direction or scheme and tries to find someone who they think can implement that vision.
That said, it can be a bit of a dangerous thing to actually reject a HC's picks rather than pre-filling or back filling. It's what cost them Matt Rhule.
DorfdadForum VeteranJim’s old and wants to come to Florida to retire. I jest of course but kinda believe that as well..

Isn't he early 60's?

64 this week. He's fine for a temporary advisor role while things get settled.
texanphinaticForum VeteranHe was still taking HC interviews with multiple teams - I am sure he wants another crack at it. Serving on a high ranking role for a team probably will do more than sitting on the couch for him, so it's not surprising he wants to be active.
