ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Jim Caldwell may have been the Detroit Lions’ most successful coach in the Super Bowl era. The Lions fired Caldwell on Monday after a season in which the team raised hopes before fading and missing the playoffs with a 9-7 record. Caldwell was 36-28 in four seasons and went 0-2 in two postseasons with the Lions. Lions general manager Bob Quinn said he wants a coach to take the team to the next level — postseason victories and championships. Caldwell became Detroit’s first coach to have at three winning seasons in his first four years since the early 1950s.
