There's talk in league circles that Dolphins defensive coordinator Dom Capers is looking to get out of town.
No quotes or anything, just a report on rumors.

Very interesting stuff. If Cowher doesn't come back, there may be head coaching spots available.

Where is the wave goodbye smiley?
Honestly, this guy is the highest paid assistant coach in theleague, is getting paid more than the head coach on this team and he may want out? Good riddance if true. -
I don't think it really has that big of an effect on this team. They might be better of w/ a younger guy who is an up and comer. Especially with the phins looking to get younger. Somebody mentioned San Diego's LB coach as a candidate.

If Capers quits/gets fired/is allowed to quit instead of being fired, I think our defensive coordinator next year will be John Pagano, San Diego's OLB coach.

:up: -
After his abysmal performance in Miami, he's better off chasing some other pipe dream than to become a head coach again in the NFL.
-
I don't know if this may make JT's trade scenario even more possible, being that he loves Capers so much. If we switch to a full-time 4-3 he might want out.
-
-
Can we make it a two-for-one and have him take Keith Armstrong with him.
-
If true, I think it is because Capers has not been able to run as much 3-4 as he would like and he realizes that we're probably two more offseasons away from having the personnel on defense to run an effective 3-4.
-
I would love if we switched to the Tampa 2
-
I hate to admit it but it looks like the outstanding defense we were getting was due more to Saban work than Capers.
Our defense was good while we were using the hybrid 3-4,4-3 system that kept offenses guessing.
Capers tried to convert it to a 3-4 and he had players playing in the wrong positions and it simply hasnt worked. -
-
If Capers does leave and Cam does bring in John Pagano then Miami will likely go to a full time 3-4 scheme because of who he has worked for and they run a 3-4 in SD now.
-
-
I really wish we can go back to the hybrid but there aren't many teams other than the Pats who have used it. Maybe steal a defensive coach from em?
-
-
-
if he wants to bail on us goodbye, i say that to anybody who wants out of here, times are tough and we only want people who can stick it out like us fans do
-
I think the Tampa 2 has proven its worth, but as long as we sorely lack personnel I guess it won't matter -
The hybrid 3-4 gave us the best defense this team has seen in a long time. Why throw that away in favor of a defensive fad that offenses have figured out how to beat? -
the defense that the great Steeler teams used is a fad?
OK -
I suspect you need to re-read my post. -

I hope this rumor is true
-
You can watch the Steelers play the 3-4 and the Bucs and Colts play the Tampa 2/Cover 2 and you'll see the difference. -
the Hybrid defense is just as much a fad as anything else
but a fad where teams need to employ 80 year-old NT's isn't a great one
if you can find a super young NT then great, but if he gets injured you are screwed -
you may want to re-read my posts -

Purchase that book. You will then know what all defensive coordinators know. It's not about what YOUR (the defensive coordinators) knowledge. It's about the PLAYERS knowledge.
INJURIES, EXPERIENCE, and ATHLETISM of his players have limited Dom Capers this year. There is nothing more to it than that. -
I think Monte Kiffin killed Desides' father or something
he hates the scheme used by Noll's Steelers and Dungy's Bucs
Tampa has a very good defense this year and I cannot name one guy on their squad
