Kravitz: Who was Caldwell?
Bob Kravitz looks back at the Caldwell years and notes the city never accepted him as they had his predecessor:
If Caldwell should have regrets about his short time as head coach, it should be that he didn’t have more of a backbone. Even if he wasn’t a puppet, that was the vibe you got. And fans and media saw that. While he never lost that locker room, it was like he lost the...
