Jim Caldwell has hired a coach to help t

[seestyle]

Jim Caldwell is one step ahead of Andy Reid. The head coach hired someone this offseason to help him with clock management.When the Lions brought former Maryland head coach Randy Edsall on board this past winter, His title -- director of football Nick Pivetta Jersey research-special projects -- didn't really clear up any confusion. But on Tuesday, the ambiguity ended. Edsall will take on many roles with the team, with one of those jobs being clock management."He's going to do a little bit of advanced scouting for us, taking a look at teams from a defensive standpoint to help our offense," Caldwell said, "We're going to have him work with a little Chase Utley Jersey bit of time management i sues, clock management i sues. Acro s the board, there's going to be quite a few things."Edsall actually has more head coaching experience than Caldwell, spending a combined 17 years with Connecticut and Maryland. "I don't think you can ever get too much experience," Caldwell said. "You know, when you have guys like that that have been around a Larry Andersen Jersey long time, they've seen it from a number of different vantage points, they've had experience with a number of different things, and so why limit him to just one area?"And Caldwell certainly has a history with mismanaging the clock in his limited time spent on the ' sideline. Remember the 2010 playoffs, when Caldwell inexplicably called timeout to give the a Zach Eflin Jersey chance to turn a long game-winning field goal into a chip shot? won't ever forget. Remember Caldwell's explanation after the Colts were eliminated?"I didn't care," Caldwell said, "I was going to make sure that they couldn't ... make them snap the ball. They were in field-goal range. We wanted to try to make them snap the ball as many times as they po sibly could."Yep, that's Caldwell openly admitting he wanted to give the Jets as many offensive snaps as po sible in a two-point game. That's the kind of thinking Edsall should, in theory, eliminate Clay Buchholz Jersey moving forward. Meanwhile,
