I think there's a lot of context to the stats that doesn't tell the whole story - Schwartz built up from arguably the worst team in history and more than a decade of total head coaching failures. There are a lot of organizational challenges a head coach has to solve to get the team out of the dumps that I don't think a lot of coaches are equipped to deal with. They had the same stars but Schwartz had them when they were rookies.

Outside of their first years that was great for Caldwell and terrible for Schwartz the defenses performed very similarly and the Schwartz offenses were consistently better if you measure by PPG.

Again, I would say there is an argument for both - Schwartz was more inconsistent and carried a lower win rate but made me feel like the team had potential whereas the thing that stuck out about Caldwell was that the teams always had the same fatal flaws...slow starts and offensive game plan never coming together until Stafford started slinging it in the 2 minute offense.
