Dom Capers was the DC when the packers won the Super Bowl. It’s understandable why they kept him for a few years, particularly when they just had some rotten injury luck on the defensive side of the ball in the years following.
I think our defensive coaching staff is too good for this to happen to us, but imagine if the Chiefs for the next few years start to stagnate a bit on defense. Say we have to let honey badger walk, we struggle to draft a single top end starter on that side of the ball to replace the ones getting older, and we get some bad injuries here and there.
In hindsight years afterward, people go, “Why did we keep Spags for so long when he was only fielding a good defense for one year??!!”
That’s kind of how I see the Dom Capers issue
