I don't think Dom is gonna get let go, but who are the up and coming coordinator candidates if he would be?

Here's the best list I found of up-and-comer types.
Vrabel stands out to me. Bellicheck lineage all the way through Houston.
Jerome Henderson, DB coach, Atlanta
Technically Henderson is the “defensive passing game coordinator,” but he’s been a DB coach in the past. He’s a bright coach who’s already interviewed for a head coaching job before. He may get there eventually, but becoming a DC first would seem to be a next logical step.
Mike Pettine, former HC, Cleveland
Say what you want about Pettine’s time in Cleveland (bad head coach? or doomed by a bad front office?) Either way, the man has a great resume as a defensive coordinator dating back to his days with the Jets and Bills. He may be more expensive than the other members on this list, but he’s a great pick for a head coach that wants to hand over the reins to his defense to a veteran coach.
Steve Wilks, DB coach, Carolina
Wilks is respected enough in Carolina to earn the “assistant head coach” tag in addition to his DB duties. Like Jerome Henderson, he has all the markings of a future head coach — all he needs now is a little more on his resume. A DC role makes sense.
Mike Vrabel, LB coach, Houston
Perhaps the hottest assistant in the NFL, Vrabel actually turned down the DC job in San Francisco last year. Looking back at it, that decision should be another feather in his cap. Chances are he may wait for the perfect job (a promotion in Houston or taking over for Matt Patricia in New England), but he’ll have an opportunity whenever he wants.
Cory Undlin, DB coach, Philadelphia
This is more of an under-the-radar pick because the veteran DB coach Undlin hasn’t gotten much national recognition so far. However, he’s done quality work in Denver and now Philadelphia and is respected around league circles.
other candidates
Rocky Seto (SEA), Pepper Johnson (DL-NYJ), LB Gary Gibbs (LB-KC), Jerry Gray (DB-MIN)Last edited by vince; 01-25-2017, 06:22 AM. -
Pettine brings the 4-3 base, and I don't know if we have the horses up front for that.
Wilkes is interesting as a former db coach who maximized Norman. And we need to maximize our db's as we always get thrown on.
If Vrabel picked up even 50% of Belichick I would love to see him as well, plus lb's seem like a continous underdeveloped asset here.All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

Lets Fire Dom, then rehire him, he is always good the first couple of years

Packers probably have the guys inside for a 4-3. I've always thought Daniels was probably a more natural fit for a 4-3. Clark and Guion can play Nose. Perry could probably play DE. Not sure about Matthews. Jones also might be a more natural fit as a 4-3 DE. I'm just not sure he's a player no matter what scheme you use.Originally posted by Upnorth View PostI can't run no more

I'll take Vrabel; he's a winner
If he's 1/20th as smart as Hoodie Genius he'll be the best coach we've ever hadTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Wow, I would put Lombardi's record at GB against any coach ever in the history of the NFL.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostBut Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Is Fangio employed?Comment

Any of those mentioned would be a significant step downward from Dom Capers, given the talent the Packers have to work with. Just about anybody can be a good DC if you have super talent - Seattle of the past few years for example. If you don't have that or even close, though, it takes scheming and compensating, and NOBODY does that better than Dom. In the spirit of the thread, however, I will submit a name - one who is sorta a disciple of Dom: Dave Aranda.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Belichek is a genius in the same sense that Urban Myer, Pete Carroll, etc. are - HE CHEATS.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostWhat could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment
