Dom Capers next assistant hired?

[BigWillie]

If Jerry really wants to 'meddle', he needs to do it at the expense of Bruce Read.

I would love for us to add Capers. I really wanted Mel Phillips for secondary coach, but if Campo is the man that will be sufficent. I love taking all these former dolphin coaches and bringing them to dallas. I tell you down here is getting unbearable. They think the holy trinty just hit Miami with parcells, Ireland, and Sparano. Everyone knows parcells is pulling the strings and ireland and sparano are just puppets. Man I can't wait until they flop.

Can easily see why Dom Capers wants to come to the Cowboys. Whose the most visible team in the NFL (besides the Pats) and is the Cowboys. Parcells raided the Cowboys and now we have some openings. I the Cowboys have another great season, but do at least win 1 playoff game and maybe go real deep in the playoffs, the credit will not only go to the team but also to the coaching staff & not all to Phillips. Assume current Charge OLB Pagano won't be released by the Chargers, and Dom Capers sure would be an upgrade over what we previously had there. Besides assume Capers way of doing things will also aid Garrett's development as a HC. Hope/think Capers & Houck will be able to lit a fire on the players on both sides of the ball. At least Capers won a playoff game some time ago. Glad to hear that Capers really wants to be here in Dallas.

He's certainly a very nice man and I hope he gets some share of redemption in Dallas. It would make for a great story.

I completely agree!...

Neither can I...

In the NFL Capers has only been an DB coach, DC and HC. He was a DB coach in the USFL.

Its looking more and more like itll be Garrett(HC/OC) and Capers(DC) in the near future. For the time being I see him being the DB coach or DC with Stewart stepping down to DB coach. I dont think hes coached LB in the NFL but I have no doubts he can.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Can he just be our DC? He knows a thing or two about DEFENSE

 

[rlgiv]

If Jerry had not hired Phillips and made Garrett HC last year I was hoping that he would have tried to get Capers as our DC. I would love to have him even if it was only as an advisor. Jerry could make his salary worth it.

 

[justbob]

No I hear you. I'm kind of in the middle on bringing him back.

Can't believe there are only 4 guys left.

most of the players he had were old or to sorry to play for anyone else ---
Campo came into a crumbling team and cap problems.

 

[Hostile]

I say move Stewart to DB Coach, forget Campo, hire Dom Capers as the DC and still go get Tony Pagano as LB Coach.

Now that's a Defensive staff upgrade.

Capers would be a great hire.

 

[Bach]

Capers is a great DC.

Just odd why we are working towards the '09 staff now.

In Case of a slow start in 08?:

 

[TheCount]

Who is going to complain about this one? Is Jerry meddling again? Does he not trust Wade? Does he want another 3-4 guy so he can fire Wade on the spot and give the team to Garrett? Come on, I know you guys have some ideas...Don't let me down.


Once again, I applaud the Cowboys front office, and Jerry in particular, for doing due diligence and trying to do what is best for the Cowboys. Dom Capers is a very respected defensive coach, and I have no doubt that he would be an asset to this team.

You sure are getting high on yourself over a rumor.

 

[arync]

that would be the biggest coaching move of the offseason for us.

I like this idea but would Stewart accept the demotion?

 

[big dog cowboy]

All along I said our coaching staff would be better for next season. I welcomed all the asst. coaches that went to Miami.

 

[WoodysGirl]

If you look around the league, the trend I've seen is former head coaches and coordinators becoming position coaches. I'm not a huge fan of Capers, but then I watched him in Houston for four years.

Anyway, I like the way Wade is doing things. He's surrounding himself with experienced guys, doesn't matter if it's Campo or Capers. He's obviously looking for guys who can see whole picture versus their one piece of the pie. I like the approach.

 

[Bach]

In Case of a slow start in 08?:

I suppose.

It'll be interesting to see how things play out next season. You'd think it'd have to at least be a little odd for Wade and Stewart to know their likely replacements after the season are already on staff working for them this year.

When Dick Vermeil first came back to coaching with the Rams he hired 9 former NFL Head Coaches on his initial staff. Some of them had been complete flops. A couple of them had been out of coaching for a few years. At first I wondered what he was doing. Then when I started to see how good the Rams got in such a hurry I knew.

There's something to be said for hiring guys like Capers, Houck, Ray Sherman, and going after a guy like Emmitt Thomas. I always liked Capers' defensive pressure. I really like this idea. I first floated the idea when Miami let him go, but in truth, I never thought he was possible here because we already have Brian Stewart.

I have my fingers crossed.

Defensive Overseer = Babysitter for Stewart.
