McCarthy Watched Idly As Dom Capers Aged

I’ve never taken much of a stand concerning the coaching ability of recently-released defensive coordinator Dom Capers.

But if one looks back over the last several years, isn’t it apparent the Green Bay Packers stayed with Dom several years past his expiration date?

I’m not one who automatically makes judgments about one’s capabilities based solely on age, but when it comes to NFL coaches, it’s a factor to be weighed – a big factor.

Capers was one of the NFL’s most senior coaching staff citizens in 2017. In a career that has spanned over 40 years of coaching – including 32 years with eight NFL teams – he earned a great reputation and proved he once possessed a lot of ability.
