Caldwell is really hard to judge... he's essentially Switzer for the Colts.
2008: 5-4 at this point, finished 12-5
2007: started 7-0, were 7-2 at this point
2006: 9-0 at this point
2005: 13-0 start
Last year, 2008, they struggled early... but since 2005, this team through 9 games each of those 5 years is a combined 39-6. Three 9-0 starts, one 7-2 and a 5-4.
Caldwell is more figure head with this team than actual coach, but the system works for them.
Thanks for posting though, it's good to see that Denver made the best decision at HC so far...
