Jim Caldwell will remain as the Lions head coach for the 2017 season, an official confirms to 7 Action News. 

ESPN's Adam Schefter was the first to report the news.

Caldwell took over as the Lions head coach in 2014 after the Lions fired Jim Schwartz.

Over that span, he holds a 27-21 overall record, which is the best for a Lions coach during the Super Bowl era. He has taken the team to the playoffs in two of his first three seasons.

What do you think of the Lions keeping Caldwell?
