It looks like Bears D Coordinator Vic Fangio will be available after the season.
I think he'd be an upgrade over Capers, who seems like a man that has watched the game pass him by.
What do you think?

What do you think?
I wanted him after the Niners let him go.
Why will he be available? Bears cleaning out the coaching staff?
Marvin Lewis will probably be available too
John Fox will go. There seems to be some bad blood between Fangio & the McCaskeys.
More of the same old anti-Capers crap! Don't you people get it? The Packers simply do not have the quality personnel on defense to play conventional defense. Without the creativity and scheming of Capers, the Packers would be MUCH worse off than they are in terms of yardage and points given up. We just don't have the horses to stop everything at the same time. A degree of outguessing the opponents needs to be done - thank you very much, Ted Thompson. The same is true, of course, of the Packers' offense which has been thoroughly exposed this season for the mediocre supporting cast Ted has provided for the team to go along with our all world QB.
Whenever Fangio has had success, he has had great talent to work with. It's hard to say how he would do with what Ted has provided with the Packers. I'm pretty sure it would not be as good as what Capers gives us.
Every time someone brings up Vic Fangio, I think of Foge Fazio, that glorious bastard defensive coordinator for the Vikings. Ah well, he's unavailable.
Well if there is one pattern, it's that the Packers are consistently better on D by the end of the year than the beginning. You can't put a lot of stock in the cumulative ranking, I would value 3rd down stop ratio in the playoffs and last 4 weeks of the regular season. If those are good, he stays. If they're bad, he goes. My guess is they'll still be bad despite the pattern I perceive of improved play.
Would not object to John Fox as DC at all.
Capers schemes are stale and easily schemed against, he needs to be gone, he is not developing talent he can only scheme the already talented.
None too soon. I'm wondering, though, if the next GM is Elliot Wolf or whoever, will he just be a continuation of Ted Thompson - not doing enough to build up the team around Aaron Rodgers? Or will he get off his ass and bring in some free agents as well as doing a better job of drafting? Optimist that I am, I'm not very optimistic about that. There seems to be a culture of do-nothingness in the Packer leadership.
I think of Jerry Burns. Now this guy could throw you under the bus and fire you up at the same time!

I bet in his final years Burns got hammered a lot and yelled at the TV at the old coaches’ Home.
Pass on Bears sloppy seconds. I'd rather have Dennis Thurman.
That's nowhere near as hardcore as Verne Gagne giving a nursing home resident a suplex and killing him....

I know Jim Leonard is still raw, but get him while we can and we have an opening.
This is what defense looks like when you cannot defend the pass or rush the passer.
I think they need to trade for Joe Thomas AND the Browns #1 pick next year for Jeff Janis and Brice.
Mike says
I'm done with Fangio
He treats me like a ragdoll
He hides the television
Says I don't owe him nothing
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or just try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow
Jane says? lol
So here's thought...maybe a stupid one. How about offering Wade Phillips the HC job and have him bring in an offense coordinator?
This is actually a good thought; Rex Ryan has stated right after he changed jobs one of his first goals was to go sign Leonard as a free agent cause Leonard pretty much ran his defense. Scary Rumors flyin all over he's getting all kinds of offers but he loves Madson and wans tostay inWI.
Seems a matter of time before he leaves. If he's leaving it might as well be to GB
