Packers Coaching Rumors: Dom Capers likely out as DC, Vic Fangio a possible replacement

Capers’ former assistant could end up being his replacement if these reports end up bearing fruit

[Carolina_Packer]

Just curious. Assuming we get most of the injured players back on D next year, and add some pieces, how would Fangio, a Capers protege, be able to get a different result out of basically the same set of players?

Plus, you still have TT in charge of fixing the defense. Will he be able to add the players that will make the difference. To me, that's as big of a question as who the Packers find to replace Capers.

I like Greg Wiliams and I like Jim Leonard although I want him to stay in Madison.

I also really like the AZ guy. I'm fine with Fangio as well. I don't think his defenses look confused as hell like ours did the past couple years

Last, you are spot on.

My worries as well

I think Mike Pettine could be a feasible replacement. In 5 seasons as a DC, his defenses were never worse than 10th in yardage. Although his defenses did get down to 20th in scoring, part of that was due to the collapse of the Jets as Rex Ryan melted down and the fact that the Jets and Bills offenses were kind of bad. In short, he might be a 'safe play,' if we accept a presumption that switching back to a 4-3 (or a more simplified 3-4 with a lot more base defense) is safe.

An upside to hiring him is that it's not likely he would get plucked as a head coach, since he was generally bad as a HC in Cleveland (who isn't, I know).

Dougherty says Fangio's contract is up, meaning he could sign at any time.

GM opening probably delays that but he could interview whenever.

You should care. Just bcuz Whitt has been there doesn’t mean it would be more of the same.

PACKERS TRY TO INTERVIEW Detroit's TERYL AUSTIN, GET DENIED

Looking like they intend on making a big mess, an even bigger mess.

Thinks look pretty dysfunctional out of the gate.

Darren Perry “Front-Runner” For Packers’ Defensive Coordinator Job

" ... Alex Marvez reports that Packers safeties coach Darren Perry is the “front-runner” to become the Packers next defensive coordinator.

Perry won’t interview for the job until Saturday

Mike McCarthy also plans to interview Winston Moss and Joe Whitt for the job along with some external candidates that could include Vic Fangio.

There was some early buzz that Fangio was the guy to watch for Green Bay. However, it appears as though McCarthy may want to promote from within for this position. ..."

Comment woodbuck27:

It's all starting to make sense now and Mike McCarthy not making much sense. What a mess !

This whole thing is simply ridiculous.

I wonder if Aaron Rodgers is thinking now of saying Bye Bye to Green Bay? How many more years will it be before they ever admit another massive failure and really attempt to straighten the course of the ship.

CEO Mark Murphy has to have a clear idea where Aaron Rodgers head is right now but if he's all in and Green Bay with the Contract he truly deserves. His next breaths shuld be used to scream to Mike McCarthy...YOUR FIRED !

Mike McCarthy has, with his latest incompetence, possibly set the Packers real hopes for another Super Bowl back another two or three Years before another realistic Five Year Plan may be reborn.

Frankly, this whole thing is plainly embarrassing for Packer Nation.

These Guy's (Mark Murphy and Mike McCarthy) might get a job doing this, as their perfectly suited to the task:

Lions have refused the Packers request to interview Teryl Austin. Reports are that Matt Patricia is in line for Lions HC job. If he doesn't decide to keep Austin, Austin could yet be available to the Packers. Thoughts on hiring Austin, which would mean a switch to a 4-3 base?

[beveaux1]

I'll bet they wait till Fangio is available.

Vic Fangio

The best defenses in football are not only fundamentally sound, but they exhibit a collective energy, toughness and physicality that overwhelms opponents over the course of the game. Fangio's defenses in San Francisco consistently exhibited those traits. The 49ers ranked in the top five in total defense in each of his four seasons with the team. Also, San Francisco was one of just three teams to post 25-plus takeaways in each of the last four seasons. From a philosophical standpoint, Fangio eschews tricks and gimmicks in favor of a simple system designed to suffocate running lanes and keep the ball in front of the defense on passes. He routinely puts his guys in the proper position to make plays and allows them to play free of mental clutter. Given his recent track record and esteemed reputation, it's only a matter of time before the Bears' defense returns to the ranks of the elite under his tutelage.

[The Shadow]

I sure hope so. The thought of Whitt or Perry with their years of continual secondary 'miscommunications' makes me gag.
