I think this is the 3rd or 4th time he has called a Lions Super Bowl in this thread.

When we win it, we all know who to credit.

Hey Digs!

First of all, thanks for doing this AMA. I'm a Lions fan, and a big fan of yours. You've done so much to elevate the defense to the best in the NFL. Your impact really shows.

First of all, about Teryl Austin. You've worked with him for a couple of years now, and he's proving to be an effective Defensive Coordinator. Did him being in Detroit have any impact on your decision to sign with the Lions? When he was the defensive backs coach, did you know how good he would be as a Defensive Coordinator, or was it a surprise?

You seem to have very quickly developed chemistry with Glover Quin in the backfield, and you seemed just as comfortable playing closer to the line with the linebackers. Were there any players on the Lions that you were particularly looking forward to playing with? Who would you say surprised you the most, with their play?

Last question. What other player that you have played with would you say impacted your development the most, either from direct advice, or from just watching them play?

Thanks again for doing this, and we hope to see you over in /r/detroitlions sometime! Go Lions!

I don't know if you've ever seen it, but there is a popular image of him (likely one that prompted the question), called the many faces of Jim Caldwell

Would you say that pretty well describes it?

Thanks for the answers!

Teryl has a massive following in /r/detroitlions. We're starting to get worried we might lose him to a head coaching position. I'm glad it isn't just our perception that he's that incredible.

We're all looking forward to seeing you guys all working together over the next few years. We all hope you're a Lion for a long time.

Thanks again!

Taking my homer glasses off, I think they've established themselves, even in such a short time, as the best safety duo. When they are both on the field, you can absolutely tell that they're both there.
