Defense wins in the playoffs and I like our chances with this guy calling plays.

Give this man a raise and an extension!

i hope with all the head coach openings this offseason that we manage to keep him

Best way to do that is to go deep into the playoffs. Given his last gig, I am not sure he will be at the top of many lists. Did anyone else notice the Packers avoided the Second Year of Capers Defense jinx?

Capers was TT's best hire.

I see the "Give No Credit To McCarthy" crowd isn't giving up.

If he comes up big in the playoffs I will be right with everyone else. The defense played great during the regular season last year, but then we all saw what happened in the playoffs. If he gets the defense to play big in the postseason I will give the man his credit. Playing good defense when it counts the most is what I'm interested in.

MM has done a fine job this season as well but I believe Capers has done a better job with what we lost on defense yet was still be top 3.

An epic job of coaching, really.

[Pugger]

I pray nobody gives him a coaching offer he cannot refuse!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Same thoughts here, hope he decides that he'd rather stay on for a few more years.

If I'm TT I'm throwing Capers big money and I'm making him the highest paid defense coordinator with a nice amount of years too.

Well, there were some sign of the problem in the 2009 reg season. Like the Pittsburgh game, the Vikings and possibly the Bucs game.

Oh, I agree. I was responding to what I perceived as a suggestion that McCarthy didn't have much to do with the hiring of Capers.
