Lions Players And Fans React On Twitter To Jim Caldwell Coming Back To The Lions

The Detroit Lions announced Friday morning they will be bringing back Jim Caldwell for the 2016 season.

Personally, I don't think it's a bad choice at all. Why start over with another coach? It doesn't make sense to start another rebuilding job when you already have a decent nucleus already, and the players love the coach.

I wanted to gage how the fans would react on Twitter based on the choice.

Detroit Lions punter, Sam Martin, was quite excited.

Darryl Tapp also likes the choice.

Theo Riddick won't complain either.

Ziggy Ansah is also on board.

Eric Ebron thinks 2016 will be the Lions year.

Dan Orlovsky says Caldwell deserved to be back.

Tahir Whitehead was happy about the news.

The reaction from the fans hasn't been as nice though.

What was your initial reaction when you heard the news?
