ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) – Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell says he’s still working because he’s under contract. Caldwell says he was conducting business as usual Monday, a day after the Lions won at Chicago to finish his second season in Detroit at 7-9. Caldwell says Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is scheduled to interview with the Cleveland Browns this week. Over two seasons, Caldwell has led the Lions to an 18-14 record and one playoff appearance. According to STATS, the previous NFL coach to lose his job with a winning record in the regular season over two years with at least one postseason appearance was Chan Gailey, who was fired by the Dallas Cowboys after the 1999 season.
