I wish Kevin Greene was still alive to join these guys

Sam Mills as well.

I know many of us oldtimers that actually remember when Capers was here.  The Panthers had an amazing defense and though Capers was the HC and not the DC, the defense was clearly his.  

Salt and Pepper, Mills and many other great names in Panther lore.  

What I truly love about this hire, is who will be here when Evero gets his first HC gig?  We have the man that Mentored him.  It is like our backup DC.  When he goes don't be surprised to see him elevated to DC.  This time he won't be grabbing a HC spot but remain our DC until he retires.

Capers will be instrumental in replacing Evero should he get a HC position next season.  I get the feeling we are also building a coaching development program also. Because let's be real, if you build a successful team you are going to lose coaches. Your team better be able to find and develop good assistant coaches for the future along the way.

Agreed, IF Evero was hired as a HC.  Capers could move to DC or he could as you say stay as an assistant.    If Capers were to be promoted to DC the chances of him jumping to a HC position is highly unlikely.  He could end up as our DC for several years and continue to develop his tree.

He doesn't want to be a DC at this stage in his career. He's just an advisor at this point.  He just helps identify talent for the defensive staff and help teach them.

Never had much of want-to in creating an alt, but I am wondering if CapersRug is available??

Rhule's staff vs. Reich's staff is like the difference between night and day.  Panthers are going from amateur hour to professional grade.

It really is good know experts are in the building and fans finally have a good reason for being optimistic about the Panthers future.

DOM CAPERSCS, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Panthers hired Dom Capers as a senior defensive assistant. 

The move marks the third consecutive year with the same role for different teams after Capers previously served as senior defensive assistant in both Detroit and Denver. Frank Reich wasted no time in making significant coaching moves after being hired as the new head coach in Carolina, also hiring Josh McCown to serve as the team's new quarterbacks coach. Capers, now 72, brings substantial coaching experience to an organization with numerous moving parts this offseason

If we have a good season next year, CapersHairTransplant should be up for consideration

Dom Capers toupee strikes fear in the hearts of follicly-gifted men.  Even Chuck Norris is afraid of it.

This. This. This.

Reich being able to develop quality NFL coaches will be a tremendous blessing. Continually developing quality coordinators that can handle their jobs with the X's & O's and having position coaches that are proven teachers is something that this team has sorely missed.

Please welcome Steve Smith the new wide receivers coach of the Carolina Panthers.

He was on Rome the other day and the possibility was brought up, with the Panthers changing over from the previous coaches. Smith said he knows very well what his limitations are, and he does not think of himself as a leader of men. He went on to say that he had coached 1 of his kids flag football team, and even that was pushing the limit. He's probably right in that he doesn't have the patience for it.
