"The Green Bay Packers have beaten the New York Giants and perhaps two or three other teams to hire Dom Capers as their defensive coordinator, sources from both teams have confirmed. Capers spent the past year as secondary coach of the New England Patriots. He is still owed $2.6 million by the Dolphins for the 2009 season; he was hired by Miami in 2006 and was defensive coordinator in 2007 (ESPN)."
Another day, another Patriots coach gone. The Packers have a lot of work to do, if they want to bring back that defense that was so good in 2007. I really think a lot of it is getting healthy, and injecting some talent to their defensive line. Their secondary (when healthy) is amazing, but they are worthless if you can't get any kind of pass rush.
At this point I don't know what to think of the Pats, it seems like a black cloud has been stuck on them since their historic loss to the Giants just a year ago. Brady's down, coaches leaving, Pioli leaving, and I think we will hear some retirements (that I'm actually hoping for) in the next couple of weeks. They are going to need to get younger on defense, and I just don't know where they are going to pull coaches from. Seems like they have been pulling coaches out of their ass for so long, but how long until that well runs dry? I guess we shall see...
