We can all agree that football is the one sport where the coach plays a significant role in deciding whether his team wins or loses. Scouting, scheming, and practicing are the main responsibilities of an NFL coach and often is the difference between winning and losing. Hence, if you are hiring a coach to run your franchise, it would be advantageous to hire someone with a history of winning games. I have been skeptical about Jim Caldwell's pedigree of running a winning franchise such as the Colts, btu have refrained from speaking up due to the great success the team displayed during the regular season. Oh, and his quarterback is Peyton freakin Manning. But looking back at all the late quarter comebacks, weak conference playoff opponents, and the poor performance in the super bowl, I have to speak the truth.
Here is Jim Caldwell's career coaching record in Wake Forest University. This was reported on
SportsbyBrooks several months ago and is even more relevant today.
Wow, that's really bad. I know that Wake isnt exactly a football powerhouse, but since Caldwells departure, Jim Grobe has coached the Deamon Deacons to a 59-51 record. That's slightly better than Caldwell's .292 winning percentage as a coach. How does a guy with a .292 winning percentage get to coach Peyton Manning in the NFL? Not wanting to play the race card, but him and Dungy seen to have a bunch of melanin in common. Heck, Jim Grobe deserves to take over for Bill Belichick if he can double Caldwell's winning percentage at the same university in the exact same conference
