Yeah that was a good squad.. I think injuries derailed them the two seasons after that but they snuck into the playoffs anyway at 9-7 one time. And their management still saw fit not to extend Caldwell. Maybe he and Stafford didn't get along? Or maybe they're just idiots.. since they hitched their wagon to Goff now.. who McVay actually paid draft picks to be rid of!!
Caldwell was underrated.
The people I know here (that have known the Stafford family for 30 years) say he was pissed when they dropped Coach Caldwell.
I think he really liked him....possibly even his favorite of all time other than maybe high school...lol
Stafford is pretty low key, I seem to recall him even coming forward publically about his disappointment when Caldwell got let go.
My wife's dragging me to dinner right now, so I don't have time to see if it's online anywhere via Google or whatever.
