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.

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

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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
