Capers is gone

[ProcessBlue2]

Not dead. He just works somewhere else

[ForJimmy]

Next up Caldwell!

Boo for losing Dom in general. But it was time.

On the other hand, at what point should one just retire?

If you love doing it, not until the phone stops ringing.

Never really knew what he brought to the table other than a legacy Panthers figurehead. Had high hopes for Caldwell, and maybe he has more of an impact than we know, but unsure his role.

What are these guys doing to make this team better?

Thanks for your work in the '90s, Dom. Apologies that your last years in the league will be in Cleveland.

Good luck to him. He'll always be part of our history. And who knows but possibly our future again, too. He always seems willing to come and consult when needed.

He and Caldwell seem like wasted hires. But good luck to him I guess.

This. Some of these lifers just legitimately love ball and as long as they can continue getting roles that keeps them involved in the game at some level but doesn't require the insane commitment level of actually coaching, why not? I have to imagine a lot of these advisor roles are basically the equivalent of posting our opinions on the Huddle but actually getting paid for it. Sounds like a sweet gig to me. LOL

Him and his glorious rug will be missed

Yeah I think the jobs are more consulting type of work, and probably have very little pressure to grind like a normal coach. 
 

I really was not inclined to like Caldwell because the offense was such a train wreck in his first year.  I just always thought he may have had a lot of say in the way that offensive staff got put together. Which I saw as a fail, I especially did not get the Thomas Brown OC deal. Then add the backstabbing type of stuff rumored to be going on behind the scenes.  
 

It would be nice if we had some clarity on that but we are not gonna get it.

Its the pro football version of being hired by a tech firm in a consulting/advisory role.  You get a cushy compensation packages to show up late, eat free lunch, leave early, and take PTO.  Then by the time people have figured out you do nothing, you move on to the next gig.

At least it's not the Raiders.
