Jim Caldwell went from an embattled coach who fired his offensive coordinator hoping to provide a spark — to a head coach who may not survive through Monday, let alone next week.
The Lions sit at 1-7, after getting bombed 45-10 by the Chiefs.
Caldwell believes he’ll remain the coach at least through this week.
“You know what, I’m working every single day,” Caldwell said, via MLive.com. “My job is to go in and get the job done. Those (employment) things are answered by someone else, and not me. But I fully anticipate being able to continue to do my job.”
Caldwell guided the Lions to an 11-5 finish last season, tying him for the most wins by a first-year coach in franchise history.
That should buy him another season, but in this copycat league, the Lions may want to find a spark from somewhere else.
