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?

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
