“I think Dom Capers as an outstanding football coach, and I'm glad he's on our staff” ... those are the words uttered today by Mike McCarthy at his season-ending press conference. Answering the second question asked, McCarthy gave no indication that Capers wouldn't be the defensive coordinator next season. I know that doesn’t sit well with a large percentage of Packers Nation. Many of you out there want him gone yesterday.

I don't think Dom is a bad coach but unless he changes his perspective a bit his style just isn't a great fit for this team.

Maybe Mike McCarthy realize Capers is doing a GREAT job with his lack of talent on defense as well as all the injuries.


Being honest about the Packers team, they don't have the best DL, they don't have they only had two real good pass rushers in Matthews and Daniels, and on top of it the Safeties just SUCKED!!!

Also I loved the idea of Neal to OLB as the idea was floated after the 2011 season and they didn't do it.... but the results weren't too good. Though I did see him get some DL reps in as well and got some pressure from there.

I've been too blinded by the poor results to remember that half the defense was injured. So I'm ok with Dom staying, but the fact that our strength and conditioning coach has yet to be replaced by a yoga coach is troubling to me.

It takes an offseason to fully implement something. Give Dom another chance guys. He's a great coach.

Can't these guys wait until Ted and mike do their evaluations before writing the idiotic articles?

I remember Ted giving Mike Sherman a 2 year extension, then firing him.

Obviously Ted had a change of heart after evaluating the situation.

I am not one who want anyone fired, but if Ted and Mike decide that is the best thing for The Packers then so be it.

McCarthy isn't giving into anything, he is just going to do business as he always does.

Wait for the season to end(it has), meet with the players before they go home(that has been done), then start with the coaches evaluations.

ALL COACHES NOT JUST DOM.

When those evaluations are over, then the decisions will be made on who stays or who goes.

Writers are worse then fans when it comes to wanting Knee-Jerk decisions.

Plenty of time for coaching decisions to be made.

Personally, I would rather they err on the side of caution and try to improve this part of the team, at any cost, since it has cost us dearly, and kept us from reaching our goals for the past 3 seasons. Hire a better staff in this department, and maybe we see some improvement. Of course there will be bone breaks and concussions that take players out. But, maybe they can try to make this part of our team better. Nothing done half assed, including pre-game warm-ups.

We lost Mike Neal for how many games with an abdominal strain? Casey Hayward, one of our very best new defenders as a rookie last year, out nearly the entire season with a hamstring. Morgan Burnett, out how many games with a hamstring to start the season? 3 games, on a team with major S problems. Jarrett Bush had a hammy. Brad Jones had a hammy. Both missed games this past season as a result. Starks with an ankle. James Jones with a knee. Perry with a foot.

How does your backup QB blow out a groin in his first series?

Those are all valuable misses, most due to a lack of proper conditioning and game time readiness. Dom Capers in not going to get fired, but he lost many valuable players to what I would consider to have been avoidable injury. How many games did that cost us?

Capers' unit at least responded when called out by the fans. So at least there's that.

Can't say that about the offense.

Are you referring to the offensive line? I feel like everyone else lived up to my expectations except for James Jones near the end, but he gets a little bit of a pass due to playing through that injury. Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson have amazing talent.
