KG Steps Down

[Rutnstrut]

Just read an article on it, he's been with the Pack for 5 years. That surprised me, and you're right, you'd expect him to have moved up a bit by now. If he wanted to stay in GB, that's a bit of a dilemma in itself though, there really hasn't been any turnover in the defensive staff.

So why has no one tried to hire Capers away from GB?

the problem comes from the fact that we never fire any of our assistant coaches for being shit, and no one else wants our coaches because they are shit

therefore, you have nowhere to move up on this team

and i also, don't buy for a second that he's leaving to spend more time with the fam. bullshit

It was said when he came to GB that he had other opportunities earlier, but didn't want to make the full time commitment to coaching. He had been a special assistant during training camp only for a couple teams, but nothing beyond that. He came to GB with limited responsibilities, saying that if he was ever going to try coaching full time, it made sense to do it under Capers, doing exactly what he knew the best. I wasn't sure that he would stay more than a year or two at the time.

Coaching isn't for everyone.

(Besides, if he has had too many hits to the head, maybe he doesn't want to waste his best years being away from his family.)

Tell that to the first defensive staff that MM had in GB.

So the same could be said about Capers, if he is a quality coach, why has NO ONE been after him for a head coaching job? I know he has failed as a head coach in the past, so don't bring that up. The big reason no one has tried to "steal" him away is because he SUCKS!!!

OK, I won't bring it up, but you answered your own question. Peter Principle, I would say.

Yet no one has even mentioned him as a head coach or a DC, that's pretty damn telling. The past HC failures don't really seem to matter in the NFL, IF the coach has any talent at all. Hell, even Josh McDaniels was in strong running for HC jobs this year.

"Really? Hey, by the way, I'm coaching in a game this weekend; what's 'Ol Dom Capers up to?"

How the hell would he know? That's sort of a joke, but it is not funny.

[woodbuck27]

well, that was the one coach on defense i cared for and showed any passion or fire or ability to teach anyone

so

i say blow it the fuck up

I'll admit now my immediate response was an over reaction.

quia ego tristis erroris mei.

I'm sad for my error.

[mraynrand]

Watch it all blow up in their faces. Ass that is going down get clearly on the side of Packer nation that will absolutely want Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy and DC Dom Capers hung from the rafters.

You're a kinky guy, Woody. Maybe you should PM Harlan.

who i still say MM was forced to get rid of by TT, because he's never fired anyone else

Other than the Special Teams coach the same year, and one S&C coach.

There was a time when people said MM would have difficulty getting good assistants because he didn't show enough loyalty.

Hey, er, ah, what's goin' on?

When Old had that thread about "What do you think will happen" or whatever, I said I wanted a bolt out of the blue.

I did, but not this shit.

Since this thread began.

It's averaged one post about every 2.43 minutes.

I'm getting a stiff drink.

interesting line from packers.com

In Greene’s five seasons with the team (2009-13), the Packers registered 204 sacks, No. 4 in the NFL over that span, with the outside linebackers accounting for 91.5 of those sacks.

so, do we really need to find more help at OLB? is it really even a problem, or do we just think it is?
