DETROIT – The Detroit Lions’ two-week search for a new head coach ended Tuesday with the hiring of Jim Caldwell, the National Football League team said.
The 58-year-old Caldwell will replace Jim Schwartz, who was fired.
Caldwell had a successful two-year run as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts from 2009-10, taking the team to Super Bowl XLIV in his first season.
The coach also won a Super Bowl with the Colts in 2006 as an assistant under Tony Dungy. He was named Indianapolis’s head coach following Dungy’s retirement after the 2008 season.
Caldwell was fired by the Colts at the end of the 2011 season when they won just two games and lost 14. He then took an assistant coaching job with the Baltimore Ravens.
Caldwell compiled a 26-22 overall record during his three-year stint in charge of the Colts, highlighted by a 14-2 season in 2009. – Rappler.com
