Capers was bad as a head coach?

He took a franchise to the Championship game in their second year of existence.. the Packers happened to end his quest that season for a ring.

In 4 years with his first expansion franchise he was 30-34.. impressive.

In his second stint as a HC, he took an expansion team that squandered his expansion picks and made them close to a .500 team in year three..

I can think of a ton more coaches that haven't done as well with established teams let alone expansion teams.

I agree he is an elite DC.. I apparently framed my point poorly. He hasn't been given a fair shake to prove that he can be an elite HC as well.

Nothing more.

No I mentioned the Texans.. you know the team that utilized the expansion draft to pick up Tony Boselli with the 1st pick whom was done from the start.

Even then.. he took the Texans to a 7-9 record in year three.

Granted both teams slid in year 4.

That Texans franchise screwed up in so many departments during its first few years, especially personel-wise, that I'll give him the benefit of the doubt there.

Would be great if Nolan got released again next year, but Sparano isn't as big of an idiot as McDaniels is, I'm afraid, so we'll just have to hope that Capers sticks around.

As to an earlier post... Trgovac would be great to just step into the role, normally, but he's been a 4-3 guy his entire career.

Now, I've seen coaches make the transition more often and he should've learned a thing or two from Capers by now, but you never know what results he'll post.

I do love that his defenses usually know how to get after the passer, being a defensive line coach and all.
