Jim Caldwell and 5 Coaches and Coordinators Whose Employment Kills Their Teams

The vast majority of National Football League head coaches and coordinators are exceedingly competent individuals, men who have spent many years honing their craft and becoming the very best at what they do at the game's highest level.

There are, however, some coaches and coordinators that leave many people wondering what sort of compromising photos of team ownership they must possess that allows them to keep their jobs, including the group listed here.

1. Jim Caldwell: HC, Indianapolis Colts

The undisputed king of "huh?".

The longer that head coach Jim Caldwell has been leading the Indianapolis Colts the more one wonders why Jim Caldwell is leading the Indianapolis Colts, but with the Colts spiraling towards one of the worst seasons in NFL history that's a paradox we thankfully won't have to ponder much longer.

Will we?

2. Brian Schottenheimer: OC, New York Jets

When you have a smash-mouth head coach like Rex Ryan of the New York Jets who loves to expound (no, that's not a weight crack) about the "ground and pound" the logical thing to do, of course, is install a complicated offense and throw all day, especially when your quarterback is prone to being erratic at times.

3. Juan Castillo: DC, Philadelphia Eagles

Imagine my shock and surprise at the notion that installing your offensive line coach from the year before as your defensive coordinator might not be the best idea in history. It almost makes you feel bad for Castillo, because he's obviously out of his depth.

4. Norv Turner: HC, San Diego Chargers

Teams coached by Norv Turner have a tendency to either do well in the regular season and then fall flat in the playoffs or just fall flat, and if I had a dollar for every time one of his play calls gave me a headache I just might be able to afford the aspirin it would take to make the headaches go away.

5. Mike Martz: OC, Chicago Bears

"Mad" Mike Martz is a legend in his own mind, and as any number of teams have learned the hard way (including the Chicago Bears) he's going to try to run his vertical passing offense whether he has the personnel to do so effectively or not.
