I always think its interesting to see the path some coaches take.

You've got Jim Caldwell, who couldn't hack it at Wake Forest (but honestly, that's a pretty tough football gig)...and had that interesting situation with CJ and Chris Leak.

Now he's going to be the head coach of probably one of the top 5 QBs of all time, and also inheriting maybe a top 5 NFL team that one a Super Bowl two years ago.

I have one a lot in my life

Wow, that's a bit surprising he stepped down. I know he hasn't had much luck in the post season recently... but damn. Was it a "forced" resignation, or is he done with coaching for a while or what?

it wasnt forced

he's been saying for a while that he was thinking about retiring so he and his wife could focus more on their christian missions

Yeah, he'd been on the fence about it since his son passed away. I wish him the best...
