Capers to the Packers

[Mr. Scot]

Reported by PFT, Capers will be hired as the Packers DC.

I didn't realistically see him as an option here, but I know some folks thought it would be a decent idea. Indeed it might have been, but it just didn't seem likely to happen.

Coughlin was reported to want him in New York. No go.

Another one off the general DC "Wish List". Dave McGinnis is likely taking the Titans DC spot. Herm Edwards and Sean McDermott are still possibilities.

[Doc Holiday]

why would they want him in NY he's a 3-4 coordinator right?

He was Coughlin's DC with the Jags after the Panthers let him go. While there, he ran a 4-3, and ran it well enough to get hired by the Texans.

[Kevin Greene]

Well, 2 strong candidates remain for us. the best 2 I think.

[Doc Holiday]

Well there is also some obscure people we can pick up from the Ravens and Steelers, they have had the two best defenses this year and you can about bet your ass some of they're better assistants are going to get a shot and I'm sure a few of you remember our last assistant form the Ravens.

[Mr. Scot]

Must be noted that this since Dom Capers got that job, it is not going to Tim Lewis.

Capers in Carolina = NO

BIG NO

No love lost, no sleep lost

Unless you're one of the Tim Lewis critics who was hoping they'd take him off our hands.

This hire increases the likelihood that if Trgovac is eventually fired, Lewis replaces him rather than one of the outside choices.

dammit dammit dammit! i wanted lewis to go there so if we fire the turd lewis wasnt the guy. that is till a posibility that scares me, he wasnt that great in ny when he was a dc.

Dear god I hope not, if they do that they might as well of not fired Trgovac, we all have seen what the Giants defense was able to do with Lewis gone.

I dont buy into that.

There is merit to the thought because of Lewis history, however I think Fox would look to find someone with a fresh outside perspective and no history with the players.

I think evena new scheme with someone the player KNOW wont be as effective as a new coach that the players can buy into because of the realm of unknown...

[Mr. Scot]

Local media has said more than once that Lewis would be a candidate to replace Trgovac if he were let go. Add in that Cincinnati wanted to interview Lewis for their DC spot last season. The Panthers denied them permission.

On the flipside, this season, the Panthers are allowing anyone, Lewis included, to interview for other opportunities if they wish.

Hard to predict what happens next.

Everyone thought McCoy would replace Henning too.

[Mr. Scot]

Everyone thought McCoy would replace Henning too.

Valid point.

Yasinskas was pimping him pretty heavily in local media, practically had him hired (going mostly off info from McCoy's agent). Might have embarrassed Yasinskas a little when Davidson got the job instead.
