Did Dom Capers have the same personality as Fox/Rivera?

Capers could adapt. Usually we owned the second half (when we had talent, at least). Later on, boneheaded moves by the front office brought in ill-advised talent, but Capers still adjusted, switching to a 4-3 to match the talent.

I honestly think he over analyzed the game, likely outsmarted himself and that led to his demise.

and by outsmarting himself, I don't mean a Shula "they'll never see a run up the belly coming!"

Capers was 30-34 as coach of the panthers with a 12-4 season. Ron is 28-30 with a 12-4 season. The results are strikingly similar.

As is Fox's pre-Peyton .500 record.

Playing not to lose wins you approximately half the games, if you have a decent amount of talent. Beat the bad teams, win the ones you're supposed to, never take the risks necessary to beat good/better teams.

Seifert was a defensive guy just like all our other head coaches. He won 3 Super Bowls as DC of the 49ers then 2 more as head coach. Per the San Francisco Chronicle this year:

"(as 49ers head coach) Seifert fueled the team’s success with his defensive schemes ... On the defensive side, Seifert was part of the NFL trend that established situation substitution. It prompted former linebacker Keena Turner to say that what Seifert was doing defensively approached what Bill Walsh did on the offensive side."

 

 

That's so funny that I forgot that. Weird too, the team was ALL offense when he was here with ZERO defense.

 

Really is so odd that Richardson has hired nothing but former defensive coordinators as coaches.

This is why even if Rivera is canned, as long as Richardon is around I think we'll get the same kind of coach with a play not to lose philosophy.  

 

Thats kinda hard to tell because before Hurney we did technically have one defensive coach and one offensive coach. Hurney was the one that chose Fox and its was clear he wanted Harbaugh before Rivera. Still the way things panned out we got Rivera who was prob the best candidate of the pool of Hurney picks but thats not saying much.

We've never had an offensive coach. Who are you thinking of?

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
