Dom Capers has turned down the chance to become the Bengals’ defensive coordinator under new head coach Zac Taylor, according to Alex Marvez of SiriusXM NFL Radio (Twitter link). Capers’ likeliest destination is now the Dolphins, where he’d serve as a senior defensive assistant, while the Jaguars are also a possible landing spot, per Marvez. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2019/02/dom-capers-decline-bengals-dc-job
"I don't want your Defensive Coordinator position, Zac. I want to go help Brian Flores coach the Dolphins to multiple championships in the next decade."
Interesting, earlier today I had heard that he turned us down for them … will be curious to see how this develops.
Sorry, don't have it, but it popped up as a google alert on my phone. It said that he and Jack Del Rio were only interested in the Bengals DC job. Maybe it was wrong, or Capers chose the Dolphins, or the Bengals chose Del Rio … not sure.
I think as a defensive play-caller, he gets outsmarted. I think as a *consultant*, he’ll be excellent.
