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.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
