This is just a thought, but does his personality at times come through with the team? Capers is regarded around the league as a good X and O schemer and most of the time has his team mentally prepared. I heard John "the Professor" say sometime in the last couple of weeks that the question people around the league have about Capers is ability to have his team emotionally ready to play week and week out.SassyTexan said:All of my favorite College and Pro coaches, past and present, show emotion. Capers is lacking in that department. Standing on the sidelines taking notes, he is slow to react to things happening .. things like coaches challenges. The whole stadium is yelling their heads off to review something and he's MIA many times... doesn't appear to think on his feet. He seems to need time to analyze and dissect what's going on before making any moves.
Noting the mistakes of the game and taking it to the locker room after the game is fine, but doing some game analyzing and making corrections as it is happening is in order too.
Curious what the players thoughts are about their head coach and how they rate him.
That tends to be the nature of the NFL. No one is on a hotter seat than Dave Wandstedt of the Dolphins, but due to the extreme circumstances he might be able to keep his job still at season's end. Personally, I don't think he'll be able to save his job due to the high expectations in Miami, but if the owner likes him enough he might just keep him.rhc564 said:excuses for losing equal job security...gotta love it!
Good questions to ponder. Just how does he come thru to the players?ArlingtonTexan said:This is just a thought, but does his personality at times come through with the team?

Capers and Co. arnt going anywhere in the first 5yrs. regardless.texasguy346 said:6 this year wouldn't be firing time, but 8 next year would at least raise some concern. It all depends on the circumstances of course. If a crucial player suffered an injury, or if the Texans had a particularly tough schedule then he might have even more job security.
The good news is, he would've shown GREAT loyalty to his program, promised he'd stay, assure the media that he wasn't going anywhere...Vinny said:I was hoping for Butch Davis.....and I'm glad we didn't sign him.
Dom Capers is definitely not a product of Tom Coughlin. He only spent two seasons at Jacksonville under Coughlin, and that was after spending 13 years in the NFL.....with 4 of those years being a head coach. Jim Mora was his coach from 86-91 (6 seasons), then Bill Cowher from 92-94 (3 seasons), he was head coach at Carolina from 95-98 (4 seasons). Capers was established as a NFL coach before working for Coughlin in the 99 and 00 seasons.Ibar_Harry said:Sassy, being cool and calm is an asset if you are observant and thinking which reflects why you are calm. Capers doesn't appear to be able to think on his feet and react to the situations at hand. I think he's so maticulous for that reason. Remember, he is a product of Mr C who is at New York. Mr C is an extemely maticulous man who finds it hard to adapt to changes on the fly. He's also a very emotional coach.
